Implicit Bias - Take The Test

[IM2]

But do you have an automatic preference between black americans and white americans?
I ask because there are very few "african" and "european" americans. Most of us are just "american"

Funny how whites ignore how they call themselves German American, italian American, etc. then tell us how very few others see that except African Americans.

I dont ignore it. Its the same thing.
Maybe you shouldnt racially generalize so much. It is pretty fucking ignorant

This is the race and racism section crybaby. You said nothing about any group but African Americans.

Implicit Bias Gets an Explicit Debunking
By DAVID FRENCJanuary 10, 2017


..There’s no way to show that you’re immune to implicit bias, because you are by definition unaware of your own subconscious. Indeed, even if you do well on the IAT, take it again and you might flunk. I’ve taken the test at different times on different days and achieved wildly different results. Is my mind that malleable, or is the test mostly a game, a Ouija board of the mind conjuring up the ghosts of our own bigotry? After all, we’re talking about the hocus-pocus of the unconscious, the part of ourselves that we don’t even know exists.

Last week The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that researchers — including one of the founders of the IAT — from Harvard, the University of Virginia, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison had analyzed the results of hundreds of studies of the test involving almost 81,000 participants. For those who believe in the power of the unconscious, the results (to quote one of the researchers) “should be stunning.” For the rest of us, they’re unsurprising. The researchers find

that the correlation between implicit bias and discriminatory behavior appears weaker than previously thought. They also conclude that there is very little evidence that changes in implicit bias have anything to do with changes in a person’s behavior. These findings, they write, “produce a challenge for this area of research.”




You don’t say.




It turns out that even if you look at the studies advanced by the IAT’s defenders, the link between implicit bias and discriminatory behavior is “slight.” ....

The national review?



Of course implicit racial bias doesn't exist to "conservatives". Unless you are talking about white racism.

The national review?

The words they use are too big for you?

The word I is too big for your dumb ass. The national review is an anti intellectual waste of time.

 

[Paul Essien]

Hi, Paul Essien. Respectfully, could you clarify your reference to "black (African Americans)"?

To tell you the truth. I don't really use the term African Americans because I mainly hear it in the mouths of well-to-do whites, for me it has come to mean something like “those poor people who cannot help being screwed up because they were born black”

Paul Essien, when you write about "black (African Americans)", are you referring to our successful, accomplished black or American friends, neighbors, co-workers and family members of African descent choosing to peacefully pursue THEIR OWN unique vision for L, L, (Love) & Happiness...

ALL SLAVES ARE EQUAL....dude

They don't give care about much money a black person has got

Ask Bill Cosby. They can take all that stuff away when they mobilize and have lie that they think will stick.

Are you referring to significant numbers of segregation-minded

How can black people segregate in the USA with the permission of the white supremacist ?

apparent slow-to-evolve

I don't understand what you mean here. What do you mean when say "slow to evolve"

freedom-loving "PRO BLACK, Woke or Conscious Black Community" minded American citizens,

Don't talk to me in cliches and soundbite. What do you mean when you say Pro black ? What do you mean when you say "Conscious Black Community" ?

ILLOGICALLY believing they have a right, as well as duty to LOUDLY and HATEFULLY demean, denigrate, bully, taunt, harass, and in some instances threaten with violence, our successful, accomplished black or American friends, neighbors, co-workers and family members of African descent?

Again. I don't understand what your saying but it sounds like your bringing whatever personal shit you have had with black people and the emotional of that personal shit is affecting your world view ? You're not making any sense.

Paul Essien, "Sell-out" "C^^n" and "Uncle Tom" are just a few HATEFUL, denigrating terms "PRO BLACK, Woke or Conscious Black Community" American citizens use to LOUDLY demean and intimidate our peaceful, accomplished black or American friends, neighbors and co-workers of African descent.

Maybe you are Coon and Uncle Tom ? If so many black people are telling you this. Maybe these is some truth to it ?[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

He was born and raised on africa. Being african doesnt mean you are black.
What a fucking selfish bigot

No dummy. Africa is not a country. Its a continent. Being African means youre Black.

I didnt say it was a country asswipe.
You can be white and be african. Sorry. I know that makes your insecurities run wild but it is what it is

No you cant be white and be African. You sound like an idiot. You can only be whatever country you are from. Whites are not from Africa.

Africa is a continent.

Yeah thats what I said earlier. You have to keep up.

Because I read all 4,000 of your hourly posts.

Implicit Bias

What it is:
Thoughts and feelings are “implicit” if we are unaware of them or mistaken about their nature. We have a bias when, rather than being neutral, we have a preference for (or aversion to) a person or group of people. Thus, we use the term “implicit bias” to describe when we have attitudes towards people or associate stereotypes with them without our conscious knowledge. A fairly commonplace example of this is seen in studies that show that white people will frequently associate criminality with black people without even realizing they’re doing it.

Why it matters:
The mind sciences have found that most of our actions occur without our conscious thoughts, allowing us to function in our extraordinarily complex world. This means, however, that our implicit biases often predict how we’ll behave more accurately than our conscious values. Multiple studies have also found that those with higher implicit bias levels against black people are more likely to categorize non-weapons as weapons (such as a phone for a gun, or a comb for a knife), and in computer simulations are more likely to shoot an unarmed person. Similarly, white physicians who implicitly associated black patients with being “less cooperative” were less likely to refer black patients with acute coronary symptoms for thrombolysis for specific medical care.

No but Ben Carson, Clearance Thomas, and Zimmerman are.

..There’s no way to show that you’re immune to implicit bias, because you are by definition unaware of your own subconscious.

But that's the point, we all have biases and by becoming aware of them then we can begin to change our behavior by not allowing them to color our decisions.

Maybe you shouldn’t have snipped out that one small section since the piece goes on to say that subconscious implicit bias BARELY AFFECTS OUR BEHAVIOUR.
Didn’t you spot that???

Nope. The point is subconscious bias barely affects behaviour.

Didn’t you spot that???

One of the tactics of the left is they always avoid the averages and always cling to outliers to justify any position.

For example, they are offended if one says the average man is stronger than the average woman.

They will then point out and yell about an Olympic female weightlifter.

They do that with everything.
