Across America, whites are biased and they don’t even know it

Most white Americans demonstrate bias against blacks, even if they're not aware of or able to control it. It's a surprisingly little-discussed factor in the anguishing debates over race and law enforcement that followed the shootings of unarmed black men by white police officers. Such implicit biases -- which, if they were to influence split-second law enforcement decisions, could have life or death consequences -- are measured by psychological tests, most prominently the computerized Implicit Association Test, which has been taken by over two million people online at the website Project Implicit.

Based on this data, it appears that whites in some states may exhibit higher levels of implicit bias than those in other states. The following map, courtesy of Project Implicit, shows the states with the highest level of implicit bias (high number, red) and lowest level of implicit bias (low number, blue). Gray represents states with a middle amount of implicit bias; Michigan is the median state. Overall, the map reflects the scores of 1.51 million individuals, ranging from a high of 99,660 test takers from California to a low of 1,722 test takers from Hawaii.

Whites are biased?

Unlike blacks who voted 95% and 93% for Obama in the last two presidential elections.

The voted him into office not because he is black, but because of his vast experience as a manager, his history of successfully managing large organizations, his in dept economic education and experience, his demonstrated ability to create jobs and to bring diverse groups together.

Oh, God, this crap is getting tedious. This sort of “science” report is why real scientists don’t consider sociology to be one.

Jesse Jackson said a few years ago,

“There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

I hate everyone

Especially the drive bys

See ALL YOU PEOPLE are prejudiced....

(Just who is making Global Declarations about a whole race here)

All this reminds me of a skit " Mad TV - Cosmetic Surgeon in a Box ".
The Dems are selling blacks a load of bull and using them for all
they'll give. And the Blacks think they're getting what they want.

Martin Luther King was looked for equality with whites, instead of being second class.
His ideological peers, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, seek to make themselves and upperclass, while whites are an underclass.
Frank Herbert’s Dune series had a line, “Slaves make poor masters. They become cruel masters, until an uprising, and the tide turns, until there is another revolt”. It foresaw a dominated to dominance to dominated again.
But it is REALLY stupid to try to invert a social structure that puts the demographic majority on the bottom - and one for which many recent immigrants like Asians and Hispanic may fight for fear of being put at the bottom.

And blacks are biased against whites.

Racial groups, for the most part, stick together whether they’re white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, etc.

I guess the world is just full of a bunch of racists.

There is even disparity within a race.

A Chinese co-worker of mine had a nephew who’s family was upset because he was hanging out with Vietnamese kids.

This is getting ridiculous. Just plain absurd. It's more leftist drivel about how white people are the cause of black people not conducting themselves in a responsible manner. I'm sick of it. IT AIN'T MY FAULT! YA' GOT THAT?

I don't care what people think about what I think. I don't have time in my life to do any self-psychoanalyzing about issues that don't affect or concern me. For all you liberals out there that have too much time on your hands to be able to sort through this crap because you don't work at real jobs or still live in mommy's basement or are still a mush-headed college student or don't live in the real world, I have a favor to ask. JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE SO I CAN GET ON WITH MY LIFE!

America doesn't need a national conversation of race relations or more touchy-feelly law enforcement. We need a national conversation of why black communities are filled with drugs, rampant violence and criminal activity. Law-abiding whites are not the problem. Criminal-prone blacks are. Look to them to have your "conversation."

Every human being on the planet that has ever lived and ever will is biased.

“...gaydar just pegged the needle.”
Well, as long as you’re being implicitly biased :)

White hate, White privilege, White ignorance...

Whatever...

I am the canonical right-winger... and I love every decent human on Earth — including nascent life regardless of genetic structure.

The gratuitous, White-hating antagonists need to be politically buried. Start with the wallet, and avoid patronizing whatever venues sponsor their point of view.

I guess that if having the situational awareness to realize that Blacks are far more likely to try to harm me is racial bias, I am becoming increasingly racially biased.
