Title: Babies are RACIST
Post by: Rush on December 11, 2016, 09:07:07 AM
3 month old babies prefer their own race:

Perhaps even more surprising is that infants prefer the faces of their own race by three months of age, and have trouble distinguishing between faces of other races by nine months.

"You all look alike!"

But there is hope:

The good news is that exposure to people from other races on a daily basis can erase this effect.

For example, if children live in neighborhoods where they are exposed to people of other races, they will maintain the ability to differentiate between their faces. Similarly, if infants get brief daily exposure to photographs of individuals of other races, they will maintain the ability to distinguish between them.

Here's an entertaining analysis of this syndrome:

That video was a hoot! I wish my liberal friends had long enough attention spans to watch it.  :(

This all makes me realize afresh that the left glommed onto racism (and all the other -isms) as their rallying cry. And they're not letting go of it, just adding "fake news" to the mix. Good luck with that.

Maybe he meant "not liberal",
but I suspect he meant you are not one of the idiot liberal friends he was referring to.

Edit:  "Liberal" by itself is not necessarily a pejorative.

I think Becky is a female name, unless I missed something.

oops.   :-[

In my defense, I read Becky's post a while ago and was answering from memory and I forgot who said what.  I guess I was paying more attention to what was said that who said it.

Lol, just what I was fearing when I typed.   If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?  ;)

I am a deplorable troglodyte, unable to think critically, many have told me and we all know if it is said enough times it must be true!
