Here's where you can take a test to determine your "implicit association" |

for racial attitudes. It is very interesting to take (I did). I'm not sure that I agree with its findings but it's worth trying it. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/Study?tid=-1This test was mentioned by OpEd columnist Charles Blow in yesterday's New York Times.

2. I found the need for speed was a bit too much for my old brain. |

I couldn't switch my fingers fast enough and caused errors which the program tabulating results probably interpreted as somehow racist.

I had a strong preference for Obama over McCain - no surprise there, but...
a slight preference for black people over white people?
That's...odd.
