Are you Racist? Are you Human? Apparently they are the same question. The answer is YES. The Science of Why Cops Shoot Young Black Men And how to reform our bigoted brains. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/11/science-of-racism-prejudice read the whole thing, only parts are quoted. On his giant monitor, Amodio shows me a big blob of data, a cluster of points depicting where people score on the Implicit Association Test. The test measures racial prejudices that we cannot consciously control. <me>[1]Nor does the science affirmatively state they were acting on subconscious racism, the science only says it is possible. Nor does it address the possibility that those who call the action "ism" may be doing so out of exhibiting "ism" themselves. [2]Remember however that it was the legislator's staff that responded or did not, not the man or woman in office. As we know staff may go overboard to "help." I'm going to stay middle of the road here, as far as I know, no one here is privy to any test result of any of the police officers involved in an incident, so it is not possible to state with any degree of certainty if "ism" was a factor. You also have to allow the decisions may have been correct even if "ism" played a part in making them or making them faster. Absent specific information, the discussion should be general, or it may appear to be an exhibition of bias. I believe the MJ article was intentionally not middle of the road so as to be confrontational, to get people to realize they have subconscious tendencies they may not have been aware. (Fine for a journalism piece, but shouldn't be in a research paper.) I'm sure there will be those that take exception to the research, as it appears to show that there is an underlying primal biologic mechanism at play. Not that the mechanism is the cause, but the inaccurate use of the mechanism. It also seems to show that much of what was thought to be true is only half the story. note, to get the Racism discussion here, separated from the legal discussion in the Cop thread. Sorry mods this one may be tough. |

Unfortunately racism still appears to be a problem in the United States. Is this because of hatred, possible difference (color, among other things), or maybe envy or perhaps it all was only a misunderstanding? What happened if I happened to be applying for a vacant job position and the employer rather chose to hire or select a colored person instead (either male or female) as the worker? Most white people being directly racist against colored or black people are right-wing persons. In my opinion, there will always end up becoming a competition, but at least colored people should not go as far as telling others (including white people) that "we are better at doing these things than you are". The principle of more or less equality of rights and principles at times becomes narrow between the edges which makes you having to balance certain things at times. Also when it comes to the subject of race and racism. |

I hope, this possibly explosive Thread, will not degenerate into Race-Baiting from either side. Tend to agree. We will see after the outrage. |

Unfortunately racism still appears to be a problem in the United States. Yes racism is still a problem in the US so is bigotry. But that applys to all races in the US. And dont think for one minute that racism dosent exist in the EU. I read the threads about how you think about muslims. [/quote] Old James |

I, As A White HuWoMan Am Proud To Be The Alpha Race. We have Fought nearly 50,000 Years, with Our Brains, Brawn, and Every Concieveable Resource to Be Top of The Heap. Now As Brainiac Liberals and Their Lesser Followers, seem to Have The Media and Many Other Outlets of Information Under Their Control, they are Systematically Destroying 50,000 Years of Bitter Battling for Our Self Interests, because of what Can Be Described as Fear Of Their Own Abilites to Be Alpha. In Other Words, They Know in A Fair World, They would still be Top Echelon. They can't Take The Heat of Being Better in A World Full of Lessers. Pure Guilt of seeing Others Not Being Able to Compete. So, they Push Altruism, Egalitarianism, Fairness and Other Compassionate Rot for Their Need to Assuage Guilt. Call The Above Statements Racism, I Don't Care. 50,000 Years Have Proved Who In This World Are The Best At Almost All Endeavors. Many of US Are Quite Tired of Taking Flak for Being Better, in The Long View of History at What HuWoMans Can Do. Others Want Our Top Spot? Come And Get It. Yep. ' ' May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!! |

There is hope:) When Göte Sörensson, 84 years old, was attacked and robbed at an ATM in Eskilstuna, he became upset. But he was also sorry that the man who attacked him was black. https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fviralt.aftonbladet.se%2Fgote-84-attackerades-men-stod-upp-mot-rasismen-har-hyllas-han-av-ungdomarna%2F&edit-text= |

Criming While White That link reminded me of what happened to a colleague's son several years ago. The kid was caught shoplifting - a white teenager from a very resourced community. He was not formally prosecuted. He had to go to something called "family court" with his parents. The kid got off with doing some community service. I think his case was handled correctly. All teenagers who do stupid things should be treated kindly, respectfully and given a second chance. |

Criming While White It doesn't happens here and elsewhere if the teenager is from a "problem area", segregated communities with different ethnic populations. |

Criming While White Yes. The issue becomes when one is poor and Mom works three jobs and can't take time off to show up in family (juvenile) court, and Dad is nowhere to be found, or worse in a correctional facility, then the choice matrix starts to fault the parenting and doesn't think that a slap on the wrist is enough to scare the kid straight, then poverty becomes the "ism." |

...and here is the other side to #crimingwhileblack #alivewhileblack Maybe some of you he really don't think racism is behind the killing of so many black men will start to get it now? 1) if you are black interacting for any reason with the police is more dangerous than if you are white 2) if you are black you are more likely to end up interacting with the police no matter what you are doing.

In Europe racism are increasing:( For instances we have Sweden Democrats. Currently, the Sweden Democrats holds throughout Sweden as a hostage in what increasingly appears to be a game for 13% of the population. This game also serious spill not only over the country's politics but also in our courts. |

In Europe racism are increasing:( Yes, overt racism is increasing in Europe. Religion is the ultimate teacher of the thought processes behind racism. You are either one of us or you are some filthy subhuman trash. |
