A perfect example of how "scientists" can design their research to get the kind of conclusion they were hoping to get.
Interesting, in that it's predominantly the Democrats who use hatred and prejudice to motivate their base.
That's what I hate about these type articles. The liberal "researchers" and the liberal writers who cover them define racism as any failure to accept the Democrat Plantation platform as holy write, then "discover" that conservatives are "racist".
It's like those surveys that purport to tell what big cities are the best for kids to live in, but the criteria read like a Marxist shopping list. The survey results should be titled "10 Best Cities to Raise Socialist Kids". I was forced to "choose" CNN because I was in an airport recently and they determined the best states for health care. The criteria? Which states spent the most, had the most liberty stealing laws (helmets, primary seat belt laws, low speed limits), and various other Marxist claptrap. I think they had one actual good item on the list like tort reform within the state or something like that, but it was still predictive, instead of measuring results. I mean, if you want to measure the quality of health care, why not look at percentages of patients who survive? Why not interview patients about the quality? I'll tell you why, because if they did that they might learn something they didn't want to know.
That's liberalism in a nutshell, rename your values and beliefs as reality and proceed to judge others by it. Because if they had to use REAL reality, it wouldn't mesh with their skewed value system.
Actually the "science" part is objective. It's the interpretation of the results that can become politicized and agenda driven. Now if a project is undertaken with an agenda beforehand, as many are, the process can be manipulated in such a was as to profce data that supports the agenda or politics. This is what often happens.
More propoganda to keep the blacks on the Democratic train. Without them, the part is without money and hopelessly in the minority.
I find some black women--I mean BLACK black women--beautiful, but white women, as a rule, more so. Does that make me a bigot?
Well, DUH! You're only not a bigot if you prefer black women to white women.
Yep...it's probably considered a hate crime to boot
