But you seem confuse about the the word minority. Here I will teach you:

mi·nor·i·ty


/məˈnôrədē/


noun

noun: minority; plural noun: minorities



1.


the smaller number or part, especially a number that is less than half the whole number.

A marge of 2 on a score of 62 vs 65 is not a minority.

OMG, I'm literally crying.

Try adding the 2 together.

One is less than half.

Commiefornia made up the entire popular vote lead and more for Hillary. Commiefornia is a mess.

The left has gone so far to the left that if an actual Fascist ran against what the left in the USA is offering, I'd give them consideration.

We already had a fascist. Who's CIA do you think was eavesdropping on Trump’s campaign in violation of practically every law ever written? Who's IRS persecuted conservatives? Obama’s people spied on his political opponents like his IRS persecuted them.

Fascism is always from left not right who believes in personal and economic freedom and private property rights. Even Hitler was a leftist through and through. National health care, command economy, price controls, gun grabber, whole nine yards. Basically the modern Democratic platform and will do whatever to takes to achieve it like violence you see playing out with their acolytes.

It's not racism. It's bias. There's a difference.

Maybe it's just a matter of how we define the terms.

Please, read the definition of racism and then the definition of implicit bias. These are not the same. They are not interchangeable terms. At the end of your reply you linked an article about implicit bias to try to support a position that black cops are racist toward blacks, but you can't make this connection if you're using the terms correctly. Implicit bias is not racism.

And it's not subconscious fear of a black man. It's a fear conditioning response to something that looks different than you. Meaning if they replaced the black man with a Japanese person and gave the test to white people, you'd see similar results.

On what basis do you make this claim? Even assuming your statement about "fear conditioning" is accurate, do you reflexively "fear" Japanese men? I don't. I do reflexively fear black men, however (hey, speaking of recognizing and trying to address one's prejudices). I don't know if this is accurate (there's no data to back it up), but would be interested in knowing the answer.

It's not a reflexive fear of Japanese men either. You can reverse it: put white people vs Japanese people in pictures and give the test to Japanese people, and the shooting results will be skewed toward whites. That does not mean Japanese have a reflexive fear of whites.

People keep trying to make the results sound racist. Look, this test is very bad. It involves reacting to an image to press a button in less than 1 second. In that timeframe, what you get is primarily a response to anything that looks different than what the test subject is used to looking at. It's so broad and quite disingenuous to isolate specific groups.

This is why I went on to say, in the part of my post that you conveniently cut from your quote, that if we redid the test using sesame street characters or people in Halloween costumes, those groups would get shot more often as well (unless your test subjects were children/parents who spent a lot of time looking at sesame street characters).

You can design the test conditions to get any result you want. The university should be ashamed.

It's also old news with literally no new information. The Independent needed some clicks from outraged libs so they published the news again, and Pakman went with it.

Are you serious? You really think liberal progressive Pakman would have any bias?

Ummm, excuse me. BIGOTS but you can't just assume someones age. Just because someone has been on this earth a certain number of years does NOT mean that is the age they identify as. Crawl back to 4chan!
