Your Brain Is Racist! [THOUGHT]

Well not quite, but our brains make us empathise with people of the same race. At least according to a report published in Journal Experimental Social Psychology. The study which was performed with a group of white men by asking them watch videos of Asian, black, and white men drinking a glass of water. As they watched the film clips the scientists monitored brain activity to see whether their brains mimicked the action. The result? The men's brains lit up most when watching someone of their own race. Not imperical data, but this much I'm convinced by, people are born with a tendency to group others on how like themselves they are ...that being said, "racism still alive, they just be concealing it!"

Why White Supremacists Support Barack Obama

I remember catching a video on WSHH about this kind of thing...KKK members believe a black president will rally the troops, and are pushing for an Obama presidency.

"If recent polls are to be believed, white voters favor John McCain over Barack Obama by nearly ten percentage points, but the McCain and Obama camps probably haven’t factored in the following fact: In an informal Esquire survey, three out of four white supremacists prefer Obama, while McCain is the clear favorite among black nationalists. (Sure, our methodology suffered from an extraordinarily low sample size -- limited to four white supremacists and one black nationalist -- but just because it wouldn’t fly with Gallup doesn’t mean there ain't a kernel of truth in there.) This is just one of many surprising views that emerged after we talked to extremists about this historic electoral showdown between a 46-year-old black man and a 71-year-old white man."
