New Study: Most White People Are Racists
Posted on January 9, 2009
You just may be more racist then you thought, you racist bastiches!
Would you get upset if you witnessed an act of racism?
A new study published Thursday in the journal Science suggests many people unconsciously harbor racist attitudes, even though they see themselves as tolerant and egalitarian.
“This study, and a lot of research in social psychology, suggests that there are still really a lot of negative associations with blacks,” said Kerry Kawakami, associate professor of psychology at York University in Toronto, Ontario, and lead author of the study. “People are willing to tolerate racism and not stand up against it.”
The authors divided 120 non-black participants into the roles of “experiencers” and “forecasters.” The “experiencers” were placed in a room with a white person and a black person, who played out pre-arranged scenarios for the experiment. The scenarios began when the black role-player bumped the white role-player’s knee when leaving the room.
And from this whopping amount of participants, the study was able to determine that most white people are more racist then they actually thought. Say, what happened to other races in this little study? Oops, sorry, forgot, only white people can be racists. My Bad!

Well, I see his point. Look at how many leftists tolerate the rants of Islamonazis screaming about how the “JUICE”/”JOOS” must die.
All blackmpeople are!
The problem, that no one talks about, is the rubber definition of “racism”. If racism means organized hate and discrimination a la the Klan, then there are very few racists out there. If you’re going to use the overbroad definition that this study uses, where the standard is “negative associations”, then Jessie Jackson is guilty of anti-black racism.
Can we have a single definition of the word before we try to talk about it?
“Can we have a single definition of the word before we try to talk about it?” Probably not since lefties find that static definitions tend to work against them.
But, seriously, would any American college allow a study that didn’t show that most white Americans are racist? That’s why we will soon have a black president: because we’re a bunch of stupid racists. Or maybe it’s just a head fake.
If I understand this study correctly then if you are not Black you are by definition White even if you happen to be an Oriental or an American Indian at least that is what non-Black means to me.
I am curious though if they ran the same tests with Blacks playing “experiencers” and “forecasters.” as a control.
We are genetically preprogrammed to be racist and xenophobic. To kill what we don’t understand, or anyone who is different. To be otherwise would mean your ancestors would not have survived, and you could not exist.
To state that you are not racist or biased to others is a lie. Everyone is.
It is up to you, to use your intelligence to overrule these outdated instincts. We must all become aware of these feelings we naturally feel in order to overcome them.
