One question. Do you think in general there are more racist on the right or on the left?

To be honest , I’m not sure Mike . Based on your question, I would infer that you believe there are more “racists” on the right , correct ? My girlfriends brother in law , is a die hard liberal and a big racist IMHO . Past few months , he’s used the N word , a big no no to liberals , a few times in our presence when going off about this black guy his son got I a fight with- and he wasn’t joking . So you tell me : are there are more on the right than left? Maybe- you might  be surprised though .

IN GENERAL:  The side that sees the color of one's skin as the primary indicator of the person inside, is the racist side.  Defining people for good or for bad, by their skin color is the definition of racism.

The left is the side that proclaims minorities need government help to succeed.  That's Racist!  The left is the side that demonizes whites.  That's racist.

The side that says all are equal and deserve equal opportunity, is not the racist side.  The side that believes all deserve equal opportunity, but not equal outcomes is not the racist side.

Now individuals may not conform to the ideology of either side, but that has nothing to do with the sides IN GENERAL.

I dated a black girl when I was a teenager and she told me about one of her also black friends dating a neo nazi. I guess that guy thought it is fine if she is fine.  That is anecdotal,the exact  opposite of in general...

We've done a bunch of training lately on implicit bias, and frankly I'm surprised to find that some of my attitudes are, while not blatantly offensive per se, perhaps less homogenous toward race than I'd suspected. I've also found that as a medical researcher, race is absolutely something that needs to be considered, as it can affect disease susceptibility on a genetic basis, plus it gives us insight into racial disparities in health care. So, you can't be color blind, either.

It's a new world - adapt or become irrelevant. I'm trying, but I will be the first to admit, it's tough to be honest about things like racism. I'd guess that both sides are guilty, but the left disguises it better.

Interesting - can you provide an example of one of these attitudes ? 

I've done similar to knehrke, with results that really surprised me. A few years ago I participated in the NYS 4-H Diversity and Inclusion Cohort and learned a lot about biases that I have and didn't realize. Here's a simple one that anyone can try. From Harvard, so it's not some "Facebook Quiz".

I like to think i'm not racist. I like to think i judge a person by the content of their charactor. I have a very good friend that is black. We bust eachother relentlessly about being black and white. Its all in good fun. One of my best friends is hispanic. If a black guy comes into my store dressed like a normal everyday person, like many do, i don't even think about it. If a black person comes into my store looking like a gang banger with his pants half down his a$$ i watch him like a hawk. Is that racist? Now if a white person comes in the same way. I watch them as well.  Is that racist? 

Now i will admit right or wrong. not that i find myself in many dark alleys but if i was stuck in one. I would feel more comfortable with a white person walking toward me than a black person. Is that racisim or statistics? 

The one thing i do know, is the race card is used way to much to the point it has gotten ridiculous....

I took the test but fail to see the connection- isnt the test designed to demonstrate racial bias via word association? I dont think that test has a lot of validity , to be honest; by saying that, however, Im not suggesting that there is NOT inherent  bias shared by most of us. I just dont think that this analysis accurately reflects that.  I wonder how individuals would score that can word associate extremely well despite their race?  Or, conversely, those that cannot? what about those that are bi or multiracial? Would they exhibit mixed results?

Racial wokeism posits that the race and gender of the vice president and the next Supreme Court justice subordinate all other considerations.
 
But will the current vice president and next Supreme Court justice commensurately select their own future surgeons, or their upcoming airline pilots, on the same predetermined race and sex criteria?
 
What—other than ideology—explains why rejecting nominations of African-American judge Janice Rogers Brown in 2003 and 2005 was not racist and sexist, but blocking Joe Biden’s upcoming nomination of a preselected African-American female would be?
 
Why were most Antifa and Black Lives Matter criminals who looted, destroyed, and assaulted during the 120 days of summer 2020 not charged, much less tried? Why, in contrast, were the January 6 rioters or the current Canadian truckers treated disproportionately harshly by the media?
 
Had the same rioters on January 6 been waving pride flags and BLM banners, would some of them have been sitting for a year in solitary confinement and still uncharged?
 
Had the criminal protestors and looters of summer 2020 been wearing red MAGA hats, would they also have mostly gotten off without charges?
 
What would have happened had conservative demonstrators cut out a police-free “MAGA Zone” in Seattle rather than the exempted Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone? Would police have similarly left it alone, and the media similarly romanticized such illegality?
 
One of the reasons the COVID-19 lockdown and mask policies lost public confidence was their utter corruption by ideology.
 
When thousands in June 2020 brazenly defied quarantines—and yet were excused by over 1,000 healthcare professionals claiming that woke agendas justified violating quarantine laws—then millions of Americans concluded government policy was as much about identity politics as saving lives.
 
Which politicians in 2020 trashed the vaccine programs and declared they would likely not get inoculations—if they were endorsed by then-President Donald Trump?
 
If Trump is demonized as a destroyer of election legitimacy, what then are we to say of the beatified Stacey Abrams? She lost the Georgia gubernatorial race by more than 50,000 votes. Yet for years, she has maintained the voting was rigged and the elected governor is illegitimate.
 
In 2000, who challenged for weeks the vote count, despite numerous public and private audits confirming George W. Bush’s popular vote victory in Florida?
 
Who in 2004-2005—for only the second time in history—challenged in Congress the Electoral College vote? In whose party were the 31 House members and one senator who forced a congressional vote in a failed effort to overturn the election?
 
Who in 2016 ran ads for weeks after the election, beseeching the chosen electors to violate their constitutional duties, ignore their state vote tallies, and instead vote for Hillary Clinton?
And who in 2016 claimed her victorious opponent was elected president illegitimately? Who bragged she was joining the “resistance” to undermine his presidency? Who advised Joe Biden in 2020 not to accept the election result if he lost?
 
If conservative zealots were ransacking American stores, carjacking innocents in the major cities, and spiking murder rates to historical highs, would the Biden Administration be mobilizing law enforcement to ensure arrests, prosecutions, and incarceration? Would current city and county prosecutors continue to turn a blind eye?
 
If anti-communist Cubans by the millions were illegally crashing the southern border, would they be welcomed in as are those from Mexico and Central Americans?
 
If, by 2024, a Republican president enjoys a Republican Congress, what would be the reaction to conservatives who advocated ending the filibuster? Ensuring a national voting law requiring IDs at all the polls? Voting to increase the Supreme Court to 15 justices to guarantee at least six new nominations for the Republican-controlled presidency and Congress?
 
When ideology in places like Castroite Cuba, the old Soviet Union, and Venezuela warped the application of the law, destroyed the role of merit in assessing qualifications, silenced speech, and unequally applied the law, then society unwound.
 
In such ideological dystopias, eventually even the shelves empty, the currency becomes worthless, and the nation regresses into poverty and chaos. Is that the future we await?
 
Scarier still, ideology ensures that such chaos is heralded as success. Critics are demonized and hounded. And the obsequious state media assures the public that things are going just great.

If you consume any content on the Internet, you’re mostly consuming content created by people who for some reason spend most of their time and energy creating content on the Internet. And those people clearly differ from the general population in important ways. 

Most of what you read on the internet is written by insane people.
