Apparently, academics at Harvard can test whether or not you're really racist, subconsciously or otherwise. It's a bit difficult to get started but worth a go.

Luckily, it concluded that I have 'no preference' for either black or white people. Not that I expected any less, but it's nice to have it validated!

I took a wrong turn somewhere, I got lost and didn't find the test!The initial pages are really badly organised. Click on the flag at the bottom that represents where you come from (if there is one - otherwise just pick a random one, I suppose), then click 'Go to the Demonstration Tests', then 'I wish to proceed', then 'Take the Race IAT'. You can also find out if you're sexist or ageist by clicking the Gender or Age IAT links! Haven't tried them myself yet, though.

Because I hate everyone equally. At least now it's a proven fact now that not all extreme conservatives are racists.

Thats a pretty badly designed test. Learning to switch black and white face from left to right didn't make me learn to do it while also classifying words. I made no mistakes on the first part of the test, several when the back and white faces were left-right reversed, and even more when the faces were referces and I had to choose words too - but all my mistakes were from classifying faces instead of words. I'm pretty sure that I would have demonstarted a strong anti-white bias if they done the test in the opposite order.

My results haven't posted yet, and its been 15 minutes! But I must say that I don't see an automatic racial connection between rap music and classical music. What if you're black and raised listening to classical music or are white and raised listening to rap music? I think this survey is stupid.

It tries to measure whether you associate bad connotation with black people and good connotation with white people or vice versa. If it is easier when good is on the same side as white, then you probably prefer whites. Needless to say, there are a million things that could go wrong with this test.

Its more the fact that you get used to whichever came first and so keep prtessing the wrong button when it changes over. Whichever way it starts affects the results.

It gives you an equal amount of time to get accustomed to the second setup as well.

But I agree that this test is flawed. I'm apparently automatically moderately preferencial to blacks.

not sure if the test changes every time, but for me it was

white black
good bad

then it switched to

black white
good bad

and that was the end of it....

Perhaps if they had done a few more rounds, swapping good and bad etc.

And starting the test with associating white=good and black=bad might not have been a good idea either. I see slanted results coming from this test.

Anyway, I got no preference.

Strongly prejudiced towards whites.. which is bullcrap. Most of the good guys I know happen to be blacks, so I have come to hate whites, although I am one.

But, on a more positive note, no preference of straight people over gay people, which is awesome. :)

Even though he's not racist, my boyfriend was told he favoured black people over white people, even though he is white - is he actually meant to be racist against 'his own' in light of that?! :confused: Makes me wonder how good Harvard University really is...

Okay, I just took the 'prefer Canada or US' test, and now I have serious problems with the way they tabulate results.

They were going by speed and I was going by accuracy. I had real trouble associating the bad words with Canada. I got a lot of red X's as a result, it wasn't funny.

And yet, the test tells me that I 'moderately prefer the US to Canada'. Well, I don't hate the US, but I can guarantee that I prefer the 'true north strong and free'. Otherwise I would be less likely to participate in the Canadian swarmings (as 31 calls them) of anyone who hints their might be something wrong with Canada. :)

This is fairly common from what I understand...

The interpretation shown above is described as 'automatic preference for Black' if you responded faster when Black faces and Good words were classified with the same key as opposed to White faces and Good words.


I think it has to do with the order in which two halves of the test are taken. Harvard apparently concludes that the faster you go, the more you like the race they're testing for.

The first stage I was confused about what I was expected to do and went slow. Then I caught on and went faster the next time around.

Coincidentally, the first stage was testing for how much you liked white Americans, while the second was testing for how much you liked black Americans.

The result said "You went faster for black people! You must like them more!" But I think it was just the learning curve of the test. I bet if they switched the two there would be a magical preference among testtakers for white people.

Did harvard take this test themselves?

=====================================
Harvard Hates The White Race?

According to Dr. Ignatiev,

“The key to solving the social problems of our age is to abolish the white race.”

“Make no mistake about it,” he says,

“we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too,until the social construct known as ‘the white race’ is destroyed--not ‘deconstructed’ but destroyed.”

What “social construct” will be left? A black one? An Hispanic one? Muslim? Asian? What about Jewish?

The Washington Times reports that Dr. Ignatiev is himself Jewish. If Jewish intellectuals and Israeli political leaders can be believed, Jews have a cultural and racial consciousness.

Israel is the Jewish homeland, and Israelis seem determined to keep it that way.

Can anyone imagine a gentile at an Israeli university founding a magazine devoted to abolishing the Jewish race?

http://www.vdare.com/roberts/harvard_genocide.htm

===============================================

There's Nothing Wrong With Racism (Except the Name)
THAT TORY ESSAY WHICH CAUSED UPROAR

Over the last half century, the situation has been transformed through massive immigration flows, so that now England is less like an extended family, more like a hotel.

It is now very easy to find pairs of English residents who share no common ancestor for tens of thousands of years past, perhaps longer - and who know this as soon as they see each other. Our governors, by permitting large-scale immigration, have destroyed the mechanism which previously guarded against adverse consequences of natural racial feelings.

But, while destroying one mechanism, with mulish stupidity they have refused to recognize the problem which that mechanism solved. No British government in my lifetime has ever said 'We are going to change the racial make-up of the population, and here is how we are going to solve the resulting problem of racial animosities ...' Instead, they have introduced
a series of laws and social policies whose intention seems to be to root out natural racial feelings from people's minds.

MULTICULTURALISM: THE PIT OF NO RETURN

Who are the racists? Are racists those, who destroy races and cultures by racemixing, or are people called racists, those who respect God's unique creation by protecting all races through racial separation in line with God's chosen people, the Jews, who continue to follow the almighty's original design by strictly obeying the policy of marriage between Jews only.

"Multiculturalism has no place in Israel. Israel was created as a Jewish state for the Jews"

Multiculturalism not for Israel - Leibler

By John Masanauskas

Melbourne - Jewish leader Isi Leibler, a staunch defender of Australian multiculturalism, says the policy has no place in Israel.

"This is a country which was set up and created as a Jewish country for the Jews," he told a Jerusalem newspaper.

Mr. Leibler has previously said that multiculturalism in Australia was something that "we are all proud being part and parcel of."

In fact, taking more of them - I am seeing a pattern here. They *always* seem to associate the things they want to prove go together first. Thus, if they want to prove most people have a preference for white and good - they always put white on the left side, then good on the left side, then white and good on the left side. Then they switch it on you.

The Passover
News; Posted on: 2005-04-22 20:50:00 [ Printer friendly / Instant flyer ]

A tradition of hate is kept alive.

The Jewish "Passover" is an eight-day affair that will begin at sundown on Saturday. It commemorates the mass slaughter of gentile children at the hands of Yahweh, their tribal god. According to Jews, Yahweh sent a plague which passed over Jewish kids, targeting the first-born of the goyim.

Jews will gather and feast in celebration of the killings. The lavish meals feature special foods to remind them of why the gentile children deserved to die. Those foods include Haroseth, a mixture of chopped walnuts, wine, cinnamon and apples that represent the mortar the Jewish slaves used to assemble the Pharaoh's bricks; parsley dipped in salt water to be a reminder of the tears of the Jewish slaves; and bitter herbs, which is freshly grated horseradish that reflects the bitter affliction of slavery.

Many Israeli Jews are expected to celebrate Passover with a visit to one of Tel Aviv's 250+ brothels, staffed by bitterly afflicted sex-slaves from the former Soviet bloc countries.
