Unbewusster Rassismus

Nachdem ich vor einer Weile das Buch Blink! Die Macht des Moments gelesen hatte, in dem es um unbewusste Entscheidungen geht, die wir Menschen aufgrund unserer Prägung beinahe automatisch treffen, habe ich mich mehrmals an Tests bei Project Implicit der Harvard University beteiligt. So habe ich z.B. herausgefunden, ob ich Japan oder die USA bevorzuge, Bill oder Hillary Clinton besser finde oder zu Pro-Choice oder Pro-Life tendiere. Nun geriet ich an einen Test, bei dem es um die Verbindung von Schwarzen und weißen Menschen mit positiven und negativen Konzepten ging. Wie mein Ergebnis war, verrate ich jetzt mal nicht, aber hier Screenshots der für mich relativ schockierenden grafischen Zusammenfassung der Gesamtergebnisse:

Victoria, thank you for your comment at Jewels re: our Spring 2007 series on Black History in Germany and Europe. It is interesting that you have found those posts recently as they have been very popular with readers around the world for months.

The fact that you are working with the BEST team at Uni-Mainz is very interesting and yes my team would like very much to have good contact with you in Hamburg. My circles of influence via Jewels is quite large and significant but we can discuss that in later comms.

My friend Jörg Wolf, a German Fulbright scholar and author of the blog Atlantic Review has just today published the German version of Patricks essay on Black History Education in Germany. I've already weighed-in on the building debate and you may be interested in reading what Jörg and others have to say about the subject. It's guaranteed that the dialogue will get hot over at AR hour-by-hour as he has a very large readership.
