Whoa? Wait! I thought that racist behavior was learned. I cannot remember my Papa sitting me down and giving the the “talk” on people that were not white.

I did have that talk with my kids and loved ones. I tell them not to go to or if they can help it, go thru the part of town where those folks live. Especially at night. Never get off the feeway if the exit says Martin Luther King Blvd. I did not, however, teach them to hate or discriminate against anybody of any color.

I think everyone's a little bit racist sometimes
Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind
Maybe it's a fact we all should face
Everyone makes judgments based on race

No, not big judgments, like who to hire
Or who to buy a newspaper from
No
No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican
Busboys should learn to speak goddamn English
Right

Everyone's a little bit racist today
So, everyone's a little bit racist, okay
Ethnic jokes might be uncouth
But you laugh because they're based on truth
Don't take them as personal attacks
Everyone enjoys them, so relax

....

“I am thankful that the author...pointed out my bias cuz I didn’t know it!”

It is part of the definition of ‘bias’ that the biased person does not, indeed cannot, see his own bias. If he can, it may be prejudice, but it is not bias. Moreover, the implication of bias is that a bias is unrealistic and not factual.

Let’s see how long Mr. Mooney remains “unbiased” against black people (i.e. the criminal elements) when he gets mugged, knifed and/or shot during a street robbery, or does he live in a nice “white flight, guarded community” where “them folk” aren’t allowed.

Hey, a lot of decent blacks I know are “biased” against “bad blacks” who make their lives miserable andkeep them in a state of constant fear.

Had that type of unsolicited conversation today with a black coworker of mine, a lovely woman who has neighborhood criminals damaging or stealing her car on a regular basis.

And she can’t have a gun to protect herself unless she goes thru leftist/liberal Herculean hoops to get a permit in DC or Maryland.

I feel sorry for her because she is a decent, hard-working person who deserves better, esp. after working in the same company/type of jobs for 42 years. She should be allowed to retire in safety but black hoodies won’t let her. I wish she would move into my neighborhood, mixed types but no crime.

Enough guns and dogs on our street to dissuade any evil doers. Hmm - that is the kind of criminal gun control I like.

Hey, Mooney. The footsteps you hear behind you ain’t from the Amish so enjoy your stay in the hospital if you live long enough to get good treatment. Otherwise, you’re worm food.

Whites are definitely biased, as are FBI crime stats. Biased towards reality.

I tried, but I had to lay down to the left horizontally before I could I even read it. I ditched it at question 3. Fxxz that.

Not really racist, but certainly wary and situationally aware, which Obama, Holder & crew equate to racism.

Were it not for White people, Black people would still be slaves.

They hate us but their hatred binds them to failure and degeneration.

Those who assimilate prove that it is possible...but the likes of Al Sharpton and Obama pull them back into the mire...back into the jungle.

Americans are done with Black culture. America is a Christian culture.

Join the Lord or die.

I took the IAT, and I was scored as Neutral.

So maybe I’m not as biased as the idiot leftists think I am.

The test is crap and does not take into account a response time that is influenced by disability such as MS. It all is based on how fast you click the keys that correspond with a photo.

Usually the comments at the Post itself are far, far left. Not to this article. Everyone is about fed up with the constant whining and race-baiting. Pull up your pants and get a job.

But of course the author is demonstrating prejudice towards whites. No, of course not. No assumptions based on race there.
