And the greater a physician’s racial bias, the less likely he or she was to give a black patient clot-busting thrombolytic drugs.

That sounds like pure BS! Here's a link to the study:

Implicit Bias among Physicians and its Prediction of Thrombolysis Decisions for Black and White Patients

Is the Criminal-Justice System Racist?

Scientific American claimed that the Wright brothers' airplane invention would not work three years after it already did.

Then, later, the Communist Piel (his wife was head of the Communist Emergency Civil Librties Union) took over Scientific [Un]American in the 40s I believe.

Yeah, we probably all have biases, but if we hate those biases, know they are wrong, we are more than likely to overcome them when we have choices we consciously make.

Sorry, I'm not buying the claims in this article.

What a pant load!

Is this the reason for all the black on black crime in the USA or the reason they still sell each other as slaves in Africa?

Uh....bias is the way the animal brain works.

“For instance, about two thirds of whites have an implicit preference for whites over blacks, whereas blacks show no average preference for one race over the other.’

huh

This is crazy. People feel guilty for possessing common sense and looking at percentages and statistics.

You know what? In certain areas of town, I feel uncomfortable. I generally don’t go there.

You know what else? If people don’t look right to me, I treat them more cautiously than those that appear less threatening or uncertain. And color makes no damn difference. White skinheads that look meaner than hell, hispanics than look meaner than hell, blacks looking around like they’re pissed off at the world, acting nervous, all of these things are red flags ANYONE, no matter what color, ought to clue in on. It isn’t about racism. It’s about picking up signals that OTHERS are broadcasting by their look, their dress, their mannerisms, and their language and attitude. Doesn’t matter what color they are.

Geez. You’d think Jesse would be smarter about this kind of thing having lived a pretty long life.

Humans are imperfect?!! Well knock me over.

What are the chances that the writer is a Republican?

I would say the chances approach zero.

The DNC is the party of the race-obsessed. They imagine that the whole world shares their obsession, that anyone who claims not to share their obsession is either lying or kidding themselves.

But for those souls who believe everything is a function of race, and response to race, and bias about race, and phobias about race, I would invite them to just let it go.

Let it go.

Life is about so much more than that. Build, create, love, and learn to see people as people, learn to see character as the primary determinant in a person’s life.

Until they are ready to do that, the DNC is where they belong.

Reverend Wright sure has some racial prejudice buried in his mind.

[count-your-change]

If only we all could be psychologists, free of bias, objective in all things, and able to pierce to the core of other's hidden attitudes. And better yet, get our stuff published in SA!
