COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- In a study co-authored by an Ohio State professor, whites were asked how much money they'd want if they had to live the rest of their lives as blacks.
The typical answer was about 15-hundred dollars.
Compare that to the one million dollars the same people said they'd need to swear off T-V for the remainder of their lives.
Psychology professor Philip Mazzocco from Ohio State's Mansfield campus says the findings suggest whites aren't bothered by the idea of being black. He says whites may be ignorant of the difficulties many blacks still face because of their skin color.

I’d cough up fifteen-hundred bucks if it guaranteed that academic jackasses would stop these foolish studies.

I had a bunch of well of black friends in prep school, and they were hassled purely because of their skin color.Yea... I know the feeling. I went to school in what has become a predominately black college and got the same treatment. Come to think of it... I also had to contend with getting overlooked for grants, jobs and other perks because of my skin color.

Thwt’s because quite honestly, an educated black person has an advantage over a white person with the same education, due to preferential hiring, preferential contracts, and everything else.

I’d trade my 7 years of college and law school (and one-bedroom condo to show for it) for 50-Cent’s life. I’d even take the 9 bullets.

Wait a minute, do I need to trade my music for RAP and trade my Taurus for an Escalade? What do I do with my legitimate children?
This will take a little time here.

No thanks, I like driving, shopping, etc, without constantly being a suspect. So you've bought into the Driving While Black propaganda too?

Wonder who paid for this scholarly research. This kind of crap is what college professors get paid to crank out?

I know one White who won’t answer stupid hypothetical questions for less than $100.
To: flutters
If I accept the $1,500, is whitey indemnified from paying me reparations?
