I made a post on Facebook, outraged by the events happening in Milwaukee, but decided to delete it. I posted: I didn't know that people who were subscribed to my page (didn't know you could do that on Facebook; never use it) could read it, even after deletion, since it was in their notifications, and doesn't go away until they leave the page. I have been "outed" as a racist by my mother and roommate, and lost a friend (sort of an uncle) online in the process, who is married to a black woman. I'm just not quite sure how to go about this situation. My family in general is liberal, and I tend to disagree heavily with their ideals. As a conservative, atheist (they're mostly theists) Trump supporter, I don't have many friends that way. Does anyone have any advice? Maybe even just some experiences they'd share?

So apparently this is a test that can determine if you are racist. http://www.understandingprejudice.org/iat/racframe.htm I figured I might as well try it.. Oh boy. My results: Welp, looks like I'll have to cut ties with all my black friends No but in all seriousness, it seems like the way the test is done is biased. It's a reaction based test, and on the second half it switches the controls around so that I went through much slower. Is this really a valid test as the site claims? I have a feeling if it were to reverse the order of races in the test it would show me as a strong automatic preference for "African Americans".. I wasn't very surprised with those results honestly. What really bothered me is the fact that a tool is on a website supposedly for "students, teachers, and others interested in the causes and consequences of prejudice.". Yeah it's been 5 years since I was in public school, but damn, indoctrinating students into feeling guilt by using pseudo tests? Seems they've really ramped up the propaganda. Apparently there are even textbooks conforming to the narrative of social justice in the USA.. http://www.understandingprejudice.org/anthol.htm
