"We're all racists, unconsciously."

"Author Michael Shermer talks about his op-ed that appeared in The Los Angeles Times. He explains how unconsciously and privately there is a little bit of Michael Richards inside us all." I heard this story on National Public Radio. Here's a link to the broadcast.

Shermer refers to this implicit prejudice exam from Harvard. I've taken a few of them already. It only takes 15 minutes. They're about 100 topics given randomly. Apparently, if I had to choose between the mountains and the ocean, I'm subconsciously biased towards the mountains.

But remember, when it comes to race...God does not show partiality. (Romans 2:11) Let's show ourselves to be children of God.
