Good reading on implicit bias.

So, there's no hope for any of us. We're all biased?

Yes. And only you can change your bias. just like everything else, a little bias is acceptable, obsessive bias based on fear and misinformation is not healthy for you or the country. Skepticism is a form of healthy bias, supporting somebody that has proven to be corrupt, crooked, and dishonest just to justify supporting them before you knew these to be fact is unhealthy. See how that works?

According to the article, and rocket, that is not possible.

I appreciate the link but I still could not see what was implicit about people's biases. It was not explained by the OSU webpage and that seems to be a common issue with the people that are trying to sell a lot of this stuff as science.

Saying that biases are implicit is a strong claim. It means that given parameters of a person's identity, we can not just assume, but gaurantee that they have specific biases.

I think that people that want to change the world based on these claims should, at the very least, be able to explain precisely what they mean.

We all have bias and we always will. Recognizing where our bias rests is what matters, and we need to make our decisions while taking into account our natural biases.

It's not that hard.

Absolutely priceless given the source.

....Waiting for 6 new threads later today about how terrible Trump is.

Wow. This is an absolute victory for science. They've even partnered with mtv.

The Kirwan Institute worked with MTV to create a seven-day race and gender bias cleanse. It provides daily tasks that will help you de-bias yourself.

Race and gender bias cleanse? Is that anything like conversion therapy? The staff looks like the who's who of sjws

What a joke.

I see you are still attacking me.

That's fine, but that is not the same as claiming that a bias is implicit.

And I think it is actually very hard to make a solid case that any given bias is.

I think everyone is okay with you claiming that all people have biases, but words have meanings and that is not the same as claiming that we can look at someone, size them up, and from that information, know their biases. And I will be happy to be someone's guinea pig if they want to demonstrate how they can use my personal information to imply my personal racial biases.

Just keep your attitude to yourself bro.

There are plenty of white folks on here who tell me all I need to know about how and what Blacks think.

Comedy Central should hire you. Grade AAA satire!

j/c...

Myles Garrett's latest retweet on his Twitter account, @MylesLGarrett, of the comments he's been receiving. Horrible.

Cannot link due to profanity.

Horrible.

Mason said it.

Forever waiting for you to post a single line of how terrible trump is for this country and why. Pffft trump supporters are always...”I don’t like trump but”. ....Then you all go into some tirade about Democrats, Antifa, BLM, Clinton, Biden or Obama. Then fall back in line supporting the pos.... trump and his army of racists. FYI. Most of us are on to this tactic. trump supporters... pfffft

It was disgusting.
