do you have a hidden racial bias? + 3

i saw this on dateline last week and wanted to take it to see if it was bogus or not... the test format wasn't exactly how i imagined, but i took it anyway. this test sorts out part of human nature that some of us don't realize about ourselves. hm. well while you are warming up and settling down at work, take a look at this test, it's interesting. let me know if you think it is accurate. click here to take it: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/selectatest.jsp http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18126034/
My results came back strong preference for African American... here's exactly how is broke down.The interpretation is described as 'automatic preference for European American' if you responded faster when European American faces and Good words were classified with the same key than when African American faces and Good words were classified with the same key. Depending on the magnitude of your result, your automatic preference may be described as 'slight', 'moderate', 'strong', or 'little to no preference'.
leave me your thoughts...sorry for the blurry colbert black friend picture, but i found it amusing and appropriate for this post :)

with the rest of the US and student population, i'm angry. i can't possibly understand the experience of pain and torment the virginia tech students are undergoing. it hits close to him b/c as an engineer, i work with many vt graduates... this is extremely, extremely painful for anyone to experience at any age, but my heart is truly broken for the college kids that had to undergo this. my heart and prayers go out to the victims, families, the injured, the heroes, and the students at the school... recent news shows that during the two hour break between the shootings, the Cho Seung-Hui mailed a package full of disturbing pictures, video, and writings to NBC.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18169776/?GT1=9246 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18143312/

"standing up to imus" colbert i. king's perspective
this is an AMAZING article.... very good read. check it out, i read it twice :)he writes of how the comments made by imus weren't simply jokes but terrible and damaging insults hurled at african american women. i couldn't agree more. these stereotypes perpetuated in media and music are labels that we deal with regularly. i am a spelman graduate, and although i too have been pointlessly called a 'h' or 'b,' it really hurt me while watching oprah that these educated and talented spelman sisters had been subjected to the same sorts of ruthless namecalling. let's not stand by and watch another generation of women have to be subjected to this. check the article: ttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/13/AR2007041301872.html
keep posted folks!
