UNLOCKING THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DISPROPORTIONATE KILLING OF BLACK MEN BY WHITE POLICE
Study shows Whites More Likely To Misidentify Tools As Guns When Linked To Black Faces:
...they hope it begins to shed light on how subtle racial biases may help lead to situations in which police accidentally shoot unarmed minorities.
Uhhhhh...just listen to what black folks have been saying for years and save money on all these studies! Free Tip of the day.
People don’t have to be bigots to be under the influence of racial bias.....
Yep...we have been trying to tell white folks that for years...but they think that racism = hate and bigotry.
Payne and his colleagues conducted two related experiments in which white and Asian Americans viewed on a computer screen a picture of a man, quickly followed by a picture of a either a tool or a gun. Both pictures were visible for only about a fifth of a second each.
When asked to identify – within less than one second -- whether the second picture was a tool or a gun, participants were much more likely to misidentify a tool as a gun when the preceding picture was that of an African American.
They were more likely to misidentify a gun as a tool when the preceding picture was that of a white man.
Uhhhh...no slit..what an epipheny!
The results show how unconscious bias against blacks may affect decision-making in cases of extreme time pressure, Payne said. The reason, at least in these experiments, has to do with failures to control bias under time pressure, not distorted perceptions of what’s being seen.
This displays what I have theorized, which is that most whites are subconsciously racist but consciously aware that racism is viewed as morally reprehensible, thus the conscious works to correct or control the subconscious beliefs. The subconscious is at the instinctive level because it needs to promote survival by processing external stimuli to sensory inputs rapidly. However, the conscious processes information much slower. Thus, the way to reveal the level of white racism is by not allowing the conscious to try to compensate or hide what exist in the subconscious. The subconscious is what you really believe and feel because it is the stored resultant of all sensory inputs and lessons of life in order that one can make quick life saving instinctive decisions.
As I and we on this blog have been saying all along….most whites are racist due to their subconscious beliefs, but most whites feel they are not racist do to their conscious efforts to see themselves as bad people…its called DENIAL.

How ironic, I was looking over some of my old writings from TBWT a week or so ago and found a post I did on this very subject. I will post it when I get home, but this study says the same as the old studies done by two College Profesors.
It is interesting and telling which essay topics inspire or insite the most comments. Here is a study that shows how white racism against blacks manifest subliminaly if not consciously, yet, you can hear the crickets chearp from the silence from NegroCons and our white reading audience.
Usually when there have been objective proof...one gets silence...but when there is conjecture or without scientific study to back it up...the dissenters come out the wood work to imply that racism exist...but has no negative effects that need to be offset and that we are simply suffering from the "victim syndrom".
Its a know fact, there is nothing to discuss.
I do wish the experiment had also tested black viewers.
To find out if it the whole society which is racist, or just white people in society.
Imagine if they ran the test and they found that black people saw guns even more often. What would that result mean.
But they were wise, don't ask questions you don't already know the answer to otherwise you won't give you money to do the research.
Here is a topic I would like to see. How big should our reparation check be ?
I know its just a thought experiment for now, but I find it very telling.
Here was an old post i made about it. I going to make another one on my blog later today.

Why would it be interesting to know if blacks associated blacks with guns more than tools? Do we not also live under the system of white supremacy and imagery? You must not be aware of the Doll test done on black youths in the 50’s and later in the 80’s when black kids preferred white doll over black dolls because they had been socialized (by white supremacy) to have negative connotation regarding black.
Hell…how do you think you became a self hating Negrocon Scott? You are also a victim of white supremacy gone astray…to the degree that you are now parroting white supremacy rhetoric cloaked in political conservatism.
because the study says "Study shows Whites More Likely To Misidentify Tools As Guns When Linked To Black Faces:" not people who grow up in America.
Another interesting test, Americans vs. French or Hatians.
The point is the study doesn't add any knowledge to the world because its was a poorly constructed experiment.
That is BS Scott. What is shows is that living under white supremacy conditions people to accept the belief of black inferiority, regardless of race (see the Asian used in the test).
More importantly it shows the people who are always denying that they are racist...are indeed often racist.
Yes, whites generally feel that if blacks are guilty of seeing other blacks in a similar way as whites, that it exonerates them. That is the primary reason that the like to use and promote NegroCons to speak out in a conservative voice condemning the black masses and their problems to be the cause of personal irresponsibility and not linked to the effects of past or present racism. This, they hope, works to exonerate them from the guilt or suspicion of racist motives, because it is parroted from the mouths of blacks.
White supremacy is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It works by first making a claim, then treating people in such a way that makes the claim appear true. But had they never treated the people based upon that presumption, it would have never manifested the reaction that worked to prove it true. Living under white supremacy for 400 years has undeniable had the impact psychologically upon blacks to condition a good percentage to see the black masses, if not themselves, as inferior. If you tell people enough times, they begin to believe it. If you then create a society of white privilege and dominance, then folks will consciously reconcile it by accepting the propaganda of black racial inferiority and white superiority.
As Promised here is the piece I wrote and posted on TBWT back in tha day. This study did include Black men and women and as NOah has hinted at in his response to Scott asking about it, Black folk reacted the same way shooting Black men more than white men. Scott you can research these stsudies if you want.

Professor Charles Judd from the University of Colorado and Professor Anthony Greenwald from the University of Washington have each done independent studies on racial biases people have. These tests were conducted without one knowing of the other and yet both of them yielded the same results. The test was a virtual reality test where an individual is sat at a desk and a device with two buttons on it is placed in front of them, they are then presented with pictures of men holding a gun, coke can, cell phone, or a wallet. The person taking the test has a split second to think about what to do, press the green button to shoot the person holding the object in his hand or press the red button to not shoot the person holding the object in his hand. The majority of the test takers shot Black men holding coke cans, cell phones etc more than they did white men holding the same object. The shocking part of the test is that Black men and women who took the test shot Black men at the same rate white men and women shot them.
The demonization of Black men is not only affecting the psyche of white men and women but it has infected the mind of Black men and women. The destruction of the Black male image is real and has been an ongoing thing for hundreds of years.

What is the CONTROL group in the experiment ?
Crap science is rampant.
So you made the point that blacks can't be the control group.
But the point is you still need a control group.
Otherwise its not science.
