In a classic study on race,psychologists staged an experiment with two photographs that produced a surprising result.
They showed people a photograph of two white men fighting,one unarmed and another holding a knife. Then they showed another photograph,this one of a white man with a knife fighting an unarmed African-American man.
When they asked people to identify the man who was armed in the first picture,most people picked the right one. Yet when they were asked the same question about the second photo, most people -- black and white -- incorrectly said the black man had the knife.
Even before the Ferguson grand jury's decision was announced,leaders were calling once again for a "national conversation on race." But here's why such conversations rarely go anywhere: Whites and racial minorities speak a different language when they talk about racism,scholars and psychologists say.
The knife fight experiment hints at the language gap. Some whites confine racism to intentional displays of racial hostility. It's the Ku Klux Klan,racial slurs in public, something "bad" that people do.
But for many racial minorities,that type of racism doesn't matter as much anymore,some scholars say. They talk more about the racism uncovered in the knife fight photos -- it doesn't wear a hood,but it causes unsuspecting people to see the world through a racially biased lens.
It's what one Duke University sociologist calls "racism without racists." Eduardo Bonilla-Silva,who's written a book by that title,says it's a new way of maintaining white domination in places like Ferguson.
"The main problem nowadays is not the folks with the hoods,but the folks dressed in suits," says Bonilla-Silva.
"The more we assume that the problem of racism is limited to the Klan,the birthers,the tea party or to the Republican Party,the less we understand that racial domination is a collective process and we are all in this game."

This is the same social psychological nonsense pushed by Thur-not-so-good Marshall with "Dr." Ken Clark's trumped-up and utterly silly baby doll study in Brown v. Board. That, of course, was the ruling that ended the once-fine education system of this Republic. Clark's biased methods and the interpretation thereof were utterly flawed in every way but the Warren Court bought that psychobabble garbage hook line and sinker.
It’s getting deep,we may need a submarine;)
; )
Blake better hope racism doesn’t go away - he’d be out of a job
“The more we assume that the problem of racism is limited to the Klan,the birthers,the tea party or to the Republican Party,the less we understand that racial domination is a collective process and we are all in this game”
I feel so really they included the Democrats with us.
When printing goofy BS like this article, CNN never has a comment section afterwards.
Proves they can’t see debate or hear anything that would challenge the BS.
Watch what you are defending, which no modern person considers conscionable.
Showing that some are too lazy to write, ya know, the old fashioned letters to the editor.
Maybe we should think blimp.
The air might be easier to breath and we can scout out dry land.
But with Obama in the White House I doubt there is any.
;>)
And in another classic study (sarc), people were shown a picture of a man in a business suit holding a pitchfork while standing next to a farmer, and many people made the mistake of saying the farmer was holding the pitchfork.
What editor? It is CNN.
According to the left, since I am white, I am innately racist no matter what I do. So why should I waste any time caring about it?
“The more we assume that the problem of racism is limited to the Klan,the birthers,the tea party or to the Republican Party...”
Wow. Angry old communist and angry old racist spills his ad hominems all over, with CNN blessing.
Blacks are in danger of being wiped out by white intrinsic racism -- even if whites don't realize they are doing it?
Somebody tell the FBI they got these numbers wrong.

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..
So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.
