Republicans don't like black people

We all know that. This is not late breaking news, but I've never seen actually empirically studied and quantified, not just anecdotal evidence.

1. What an interesting article.

I thought the bit about partisan mindset and the rejection of any negative info about "our side" was interesting, too.

My anecdotal evidence is nearly 100% bias on the part of registered repubs.

2. Thanks for posting

I'm sending this one out far and wide.

Notice that the Republican asked to comment tried to deflect attention:

Brian Jones, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said he disagreed with the study's conclusions but that it was difficult to offer a detailed critique, as the research had not yet been published and he could not review the methodology. He also questioned whether the researchers themselves had implicit biases -- against Republicans -- noting that Nosek and Harvard psychologist Mahzarin Banaji had given campaign contributions to Democrats.

Standard operating procedure.

3. I always thought this was the case with conservatives,

especially the fire and brimstone, vengeful moralists, not just republicans, so this was surprising.

The negative reaction of all test-takers to black images is troubling...
