“White people are weary of the kinds of black people who are dedicated to indicting whites as racists. So, to be ‘too black’ is to carry an air about you that whites have something to answer for.”

"Our data suggest that such resistance is not because white Americans are mean and uncaring, morally bankrupt or ethically flawed," adds Dr. Mahzarin R. Banaji, a professor of social ethics at Harvard University. "White Americans suffer from a glaring ignorance about what it means to live as a black American."

That experiment -- in which whites had to say how much money they'd want in exchange for being black for the rest of their lives -- strikes me as totally bonkers. The subjects gave low numbers, so the experimenters say they're underestimating black hardship. But I'd think there'd be a strong bias against giving a high number since that so easily sounds racist, i.e. "You'd have to give me a million dollars, buddy!"

To whom it may concern,
There has been alot of canceling god going around lately. Why? Because some people are offened or get
offened when the name of god is spoken. Well I have to say that I get offended when, after all of my life,
of praying and talking to my god , who I might add has answered alot of prayer's for me, that someone
can all of a sudden think that it's o.k. for them to, just because they don't have the same beleif's as I do

that my children can't say the pledge of elegance in class ,the way I did and many of generations

before us did. And I should'nt say merry christmas any more because it's not exceptible any more,

now I hear that they want to take televised church off of television, along with all christmas programs
.
Well I'd like to know how long it's going to be before we are told we have to close our churches or our

children are not aloud to attend sunday school.

She should pray for a dictionary

Isn't that kind of the point though, Charlie? As part of the study white participants were asked to put a dollar value on living as a minority member of a fictional society and the necessary pay-off was much higher than what was deemed the trade-off to live as a black American. Whether or not people underestimated the cost of living as black person due to social pressure or because they legitimately felt that the cost of doing so was trivial it's still fucked up, no?

Sorry, seriously, I'm posting through a haze of alcohol and jet lag but the last paragraph I posted seemed to me be pretty apt.

Right, but I'm saying my intuition is that many (most?) study participants would feel as much pressure to give a low number as a high one, because of the way the question was put to them. People tend to try to give the "right" answer, à la the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect";>Bradley/Wilder effect</a>, and enough people are going to be motivated by that to render the results moot: a high number feels like a racist answer, so they give a low one. If you ask someone a question with a potential "gotcha" waiting in the wings, they're likely to triangulate based on what they think they're supposed to say -- and questions about race are the ultimate "gotcha", at least in the present era. So comparisons to a hypothetical become kind of bogus, because people aren't really giving authentic answers in the first place -- whereas of course the numbers go up when they give them a list of costs associated with being black, because then the prompt is clearly towards a high number.

Basically, I just think it's a poorly-conceived study, though its heart is in the right place.

Aww, crap.

hey ethan you're a smart dude but i really think it's a character flaw that when someone calls you out, or at least makes it clear you misinterpreted somebody, you NEVER seem to apologize. you might sort of back off which is closet we're going to get. but it'd be nice if once and a while you wrote something akin to, "sorry dude. no offense."

obv i'm only talking about your "online persona' or whatever.

"I don't see color....BUT IT'S WITH AN ATTITUDE!"

lol great thread title imo

amt u got some nuts to try and call anyone out on their 'character flaws' u neurotic fuck

oooh, this should start getting good real soon

I say, if you play good paintball, who the **** cares if you're straight, gay, bi or alien. Being a team is being a team.

i think cutty was quoting one of the "gay+paintball" google search results 'and what'-style, w/ no italics or quotes.

i know

i thought that would be obvious

It was.

Good work.

How do I handle this?

Swiftly.

i don't care if you're a gay, black, paintballer, pizza is delicious

I don't care if you're black, white, purple. There, I said it.

There are two faults with this argument. First of all, when it came to musicians, Motown had no racial or gender bias. They were all faceless cogs to them. Regardless of whether they were black, white, female, male, or Martian, they weren't going to get any recognition-period! It was a star driven phenomena and the company never gave the slightest thought to publicizing background figures. In addition, the Motown studio band (which was called the Funk Brothers) was not exclusively black. Guitarists Joe Messina and Dennis Coffey, percussionist Jack Brokensha, arranger Dave Van dePitte, and bassist Bob Babbit, who also played quite a few important Motown dates, were all white.

Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell says a drowning man doesn't care what color the person is who throws him a life preserver.

"This election is going to be decided when a husband and wife sit at a kitchen table, or a single parent sits at the kitchen table, looks at their bills and figures out who is most likely to help them with their financial condition," Rendell said. "If the answer's Barack Obama, nobody's going to care whether he's black, green, orange, purple, fuchsia or whatever."

Yeah I saw that quote, too, PP. I think it's hilarious the way this election is about to be decided by racist, uneducated, homophobic, pro-life, pro-gun nitwits who suddenly and miraculously decide that when their own WALLETS are at stake, a black Democrat for president starts seeming like the best choice.

Much like the hardline economist neo-cons who have insisted at every turn that in order for the economy (and everything else) to function well, government has to stay out of things and who are now (surprise!) turning to the government to bail out a problem created by the unbridled free-market capitalism they praise so highly and so often. I've got half a mind to look up my Republifascist economics professor from the early 00's and ask him how he feels about government intervention NOW. Then kick him to the curb.

that's an awful reason to date someone, you cruel heartbreaker

Now, as to Tommy Dell'ar, if he'd of been white, purple, green, chartreuse, he would have been a knothead.

JP: Dizzee Rascal, Mr Rascal, do you feel yourself to be British?

DR: Of course I'm British, man! You know me! ... what's good. I think it don't matter what colour you are, it matters what colour your heart is and your intentions. I think a black man, purple man, Martian man can run the country ... as long as he does right by the people.
