Wasn't there some study done at --imagine this-- UC-Berkeley that basically said conservatives were small-minded racists who were only capable of seeing the world in black-and-white?
I guess if you let a liberal define what racism is, you might find some truth in this. I, for one, don't stick my head in the sand about a number of problems in the black community that they are going to have to fix before they'll ever begin to pull even with other ethnic groups in this country (e.g. childbirth out-of-wedlock, fatherless homes, emphasis on education, time spent working on schoolwork). And at this point, I place 75-85% of the blame on the individuals who fail in this respect.
Then again, I give 125% of the respect to those who pull themselves out less desireable circumstances and do well for themselves. Am I racist? Ha! According to a liberal, probably.
A perfect example of how "scientists" can design their research to get the kind of conclusion they were hoping to get.
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.
