Meet a Black Person

Since Aspen, Colorado has an African American population of 0.44%, we decided to give the locals a chance to meet a black person.

Since Aspen, Colorado has an African American population of 0.44%, we decided to give the locals a chance to meet a black person. We put comedian Colton Dunn in an empty hot chocolate kiosk at the foot of the mountain to greet folks as they exited the slopes.

This 2006 mission is the second in a series of remastered videos we are producing from our archives to commemorate our 10th anniversary. We are going through our original tapes and updating old classics with higher quality video and audio, as well as adding additional never-before-seen footage. Due to file size restrictions in the early days of YouTube, many of these videos have only been seen in extremely low 240p quality. The remastered Meet a Black Person video adds new interactions with Aspen tourists and locals.

"Okay, go for it again.  I'll still be Black."

I know I'm so late but this is HILARIOUS!!
i'm black myself and it's funny when I travel, people are so amused by me being black. They want to know so much about our lifestyle and I think they're a little afraid of us. But this is great!! Black people are friendly, we're like anyone else! (:
