...about a hundred families, all of whom were Caucasian...

Its good they are testing only Caucasians...because we all know its those lousy Caucasians who tend to be racist (unless of coarse they are "liberal"). And we should all keep reminding them how racist they are...especially the ones who are not "liberal". </sarcasm>

The kids didn't segregate in their behavior. They played with each other freely at recess. But when asked which color team was better to belong to, or which team might win a race, they chose their own color. They believed they were smarter than the other color. "The Reds never showed hatred for Blues," Bigler observed. "It was more like, 'Blues are fine, but not as good as us.' "

It takes a Lefty fascist to think this is bad. It's the perfect encapsulation of the attitude of every tribe, family, nation, and baseball team on the face of the earth, and it's completely charitable and normal. What are kids supposed to think? That their own folks are nothing special? (Are they allowed to think that their Mom is prettier than any other woman?)

There have been studies where pictures of attractive and unattractive people were put before infants, and the infants spent their time looking at and smiling at the photos of the more attractive people. People do notice differences, from an early age.

The real question is: Is Newsweek Racist?
Answer: Of course.

I hope she never runs for office, assuming she turns out to be conservative, cuz the libs will find your post! I can see the WashPost.com (paper press is dead) headlines “Look at all those Annies- she said”.

Hey if they can ignore tax fraud and highlight a 20-year old thesis, then it could happen.

They only “tested” white kids for racism.

I don’t have a baby anymore. They are grown ups now. My dogs are racist and there is nothing I can do about it. It’s not like I can tell them not to be racist. One black veterinarian, the rest are all white. They flip out if they have to see the black one. I think it’s just that they look different and they aren’t used to seeing her there. They do the same thing when they see a Pug if it faces them.

I was actually required to subscribe to Newsweek when I took college English at the poetically approriate sophmore level.

It was back in the 80s when I was still somewhat liberal and voting democrat...and even then I had problem stomaching the stifling political correctness of this rag.

Not so. For example they are often smart enough to be dishonest about what they really think. And they are usually smart enough to try to shut honest debate down before it exposes the stupidity of their views.

They are smart enough to avoid critising blood thirsty tyrants, while claiming courage for accusing patient and tolerant groups, such as Christian conservatives, as being tyrants.

Now I agree they are very stupid. Its just that it does have some limits. After all there is some sense in self seeking moral cowardice.

Apropos of your observation, here's another example: Note that whenever Randy Weaver is mentioned in the SRM, his name is always preceded by the phrase "white separatist", as in "white separatist Randy Weaver". I submit that the mediacrats are expecting that the phrase will be read subliminally as "white supremacist" blah blah, etc., since that was the preferred narrative early on in the Ruby Ridge affair. Trouble was, it wasn't so -- Randy Weaver doesn't believe in white supremacy, he just wanted to be allowed to associate with "his own kind", as who doesn't?

I'm with you on these word games. I'm through playing on a field that has been marked by the other side so that my touchdowns don't count. When I see bias, I call it down.

If we allow ourselves to be locked up in the media-preferred world, a world where lying politicians can't be called "Liar!" when they lie to our faces, we don't deserve to be free of the chains they are fastening around us.

(Are they allowed to think that their Mom is prettier than any other woman?)

In particular, let us encourage men to think of their wife as the prettiest woman ever.

A perfectly healthful attitude.

“Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
“Racism is first attested 1936 (from Fr. racisme, 1935), originally in the context of Nazi theories. But they replaced earlier words, racialism (1907) and racialist (1917), both often used at first in a British or South African context.”

5 to 7 years old.

Do they watch a lot of TeeVee - like Cops? The First 48?

I suspect they may answer that they see lots of black folks being arrested after jumping out of stolen cars, robbing old folks, breaking into home, shooting folks. And even some some white folsk doing that same thing.

TeeVee has a real effect on kids....

The experiment cited seems so uncontrolled and imprecise as to be worthless. The children were shown “typical children's videos with multicultural storylines.” What about all the other stimuli they are exposed to like “YO MAMA” on MTV?

On commercials only white males are allowed to be portrayed as criminals. Ever see those Brinks home security commercials or the DUI commercials by Ad Council.

Methinks that is going to take care of itself..."Money-losing Newsweek hopes to break even by 2011 and plans to as much as double its subscription rate over the next two years." -- Newsweek Changes Subscription Strategy
