"Another study presented at the conference, which was in Palm Springs, Calif., explored relationships between racial bias and political affiliation by analyzing self-reported beliefs, voting patterns and the results of psychological tests that measure implicit attitudes -- subtle stereotypes people hold about various groups.

That study found that supporters of President Bush and other conservatives had stronger self-admitted and implicit biases against blacks than liberals did."

"If anyone in Washington is skeptical about these findings, they are in denial," he said. "We have 50 years of evidence that racial prejudice predicts voting. Republicans are supported by whites with prejudice against blacks. If people say, 'This takes me aback,' they are ignoring a huge volume of research."

I was not really suprised by the results of this study, but I wonder why conservatives are more racist that liberals? I guess this explains why conservatives believe that actually claims of racism is just a silly case of "playing the race card."

If the results aren't surprising, then why is this worth discussing? Are you trying to be a troll?

Conservatives have been pretending this is a non-issue a lot lately, it deserves a quick statistical beatdown.

If you read my post, I asked why are conservatives more racist that other political ideologies. Also, many people contend that racism in conservatives is not an issue, so I think it was beneficial to show this information.

Also, your constant attempts at ad hominem are getting wearisome.

HOLY (*)(*)(*)(*)!

God(*)(*)(*)(*)! The propaganda machine is gaining its momentum. This is a pandemic; we have a serious problem.

Welcome; to the 21st Century. The crusade on racism; Neo-Racism.

Can you explain what you mean, LM?

I read that the meaning is there is no such thing as a race card. Racism is real, and its depths are only reached through experience. Racism has many faces. It's about race. It's about power. It's about superiority.

So why would conservatives be racists and not liberals?

There's racism that comes from positions of power, but the pawns they create are usually just unknowing bigots.

All Republicans and Conservatives are now racist.

The only non-racist, rational thinking, good-hearted are Liberals. If you are a Conservative or a Republican you are a hateful racist.

Seriously, this is (*)(*)(*)(*)ing disgusting. This is intellectually dishonest, ignorant, manipulative, and down right wrong. Propaganda at its finest.

If you can dispute the findings, please go ahead. However, if all you can do is shout, you are proving nothing. In the end, the post above has no logical premise or argument, and, therefore, no substance or credibility.
