    tl;dr

    Electric shock applied to White women subjects. When told the "shocker" was white, they reported more pain than when told "shocker" was black.

    When the intensity of the shock was changed, the pain perception equalized.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Just assume that "racism" is a visceral reaction, which, due to cultural programming, causes great shame to those who feel it, and which can be concealed with the appropriately coded anti-racist words and actions. It then makes perfect sense that some of us more eagerly embrace the coded anti-racism than others. And this coheres with other findings, such as the fact that leftists talk down to black people more than conservatives do. In sort of a baby-talk way, where they think they're helping by using smaller words.

      Education is extremely important.

        This writer also has a long article looking at whether criminal sentencing is disproportionately more severe for blacks than whites. He looks at 41 states.

        The answer: No, it's not.

          Witness the power of the mainstream culture to shape the "social science findings" we all believe.

              Because he’s a racist?

                There's a certain amount of irony associated with the whole study.

                He's getting funded to torture white women and boast about it afterwards.

                Also, I thought the phrase 'Confederate Shock' was quite funny under the circumstances.
