Study: Whites would want $1,500 to live as blacks
WSYX 6 News ^ | July 19, 2007

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.

How much did taxpayers have to pay for this “study”?

I’d consider paying a one-time fee of $1500 if “studies” like this were never, ever conducted at tax-payer expense, ever again.

better off as illegals, too, huh?

“He says whites may be ignorant of the difficulties many blacks still face because of their skin color.”

1. Personal responsibility or
2. All Whitey’s fault (as usual)?

On the whole, how are blacks faring in Africa?

Is that Whitey’s fault too?

Yes, it’s the whites who are always ignorant and the blacks who always face difficulties.

It’s just that your previous statement made it sound as if blacks were the only ones who received such treatment.

They say black is in and the white chicks think its cool to date a black guy. whatever....

Its "in" because every black guy on TV is hooked up with a blonde.

One day it won't be in, but the white girls will still have their fatherless half-black kids.

I was thinking it should be about Tree Fitty.

Chef's Father: I remember when Chef was just a three-year-old little man, he came runnin' into me with a big smile and his little chef's hat on, and he says to me, "Poppa, poppa." I said, "What do you need, Chef, my boy?" He said, "I need about tree-fitty."
Chef's Mother: Tree-fitty!
Chef's Father: Well, it was about that time I begin to get suspicious. I said, "Chef, my boy, why do you need tree-fitty?" He said, "My imaginary friend Boo-Boo the dinosaur wants it." So I went to my son's room, and sure enough, there was that damn Loch Ness Monster!
Chef's Mother: Lord, it was scary!
Chef's Father: I said, "Dammit, monster, you quit bugging my children, now. We work for our money in this house - we don't just give money away!"

Why is this important? Are whites supposed to feel bad? Should whites hate themselves? Am I supposed to want to be black? Will this crap, and it is crap, ever end?

I don’t recall making such a claim. All races experience some kind of different treatment. I used to get treated differently than the chinese when i went into the small chinese (real chinese, not tourist trap chinese) restaurants in Boston, NYC and Oakland, etc., until I started talking the language, then they were much nicer to me.

Am I supposed to want to be black?

Every time I fill out an online job application, and come across that EEOC thing that asks my gender and race, I ask myself the same question.

I wonder what would happen if I said female and hispanic? Who's going to tell me that I'm not Latino enough? I'm adopted, I just might have Spanish ancestors in the mix, and besides, it's who I feel I am right now...
