Think your not racist...

try the IAT test <a class="postlink" href="https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/selectatest.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/d ... atest.html</a>

pick the race one,

it just assesses the speeds with which you asssociate pictures of black people with words like good and happy... almost everyone fails to associate black people with good words.

I am super liberal and I failed miserably, try it yourself pretty intresting.

If you think you are liberal in your overview of life, why would you need to take some pointless 'test' to prove you are not what you think are?

Or vice versa.

because im reading a book on psychology and it noted the intresting results in this test so i thought i would try it out for myself....

most black people who take the test fail miserably, its a whole cultural issue spread over a variety of factors, still strange though when you think "oh im definitely not racist" and then things say otherwise.

by the way the books called blink btw, picked it up in waterstones, its not bad.

I'm liberal and so is my wife.

"Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European American compared to African American."

Eh? :S

Eh? :S

theres more info elsewhere on the site,
basically its just timed all your responses on sorting the good words from the bad white from the black and then made an average, the book explains the test much better, its run by some professor at harvard.

It confused me when the words switched sides, I didn't notice till about thirty seconds in!

Your data suggests:
Little to no automatic preference between White people and Black people.

Well, that settles that, I show now bias either way, so I'm always right.

So when I say send the buggers back, it's not racist!

(That was a joke, not my personal opinion, and should be taken as a slur on the racist sections of society, as opposed to the different races).

:)

yep ,i got slight automatic preference to whites really,nothing i didnt know ....
its just your social grouping that makes you answer that way,,it was interesting though
spun my brain out though haha....

Bluesam, whatever book you are reading, whatever course you are doing, if you are on a course........


My take on life is I take everyone as I find them.
