Stealth racism abounds, research finds
Karen Franklin, Ph.D.


Research on racism has come a long way since the old days of searching for the "racist personality." In recent years, researchers have focused on the subtle, modern racism that pervades our culture and that perpetrators can plausibly deny.

Individuals who practice this subtle racism may not even know it. They may believe in fair and equal treatment for all, yet unconsciously harbor negative feelings toward other races. Becoming anxious and uncomfortable in interracial interactions, they adhere to formal rules of behavior while expressing their negative feelings in subtle ways that can be denied or rationalized.

The implications extend into the forensic realm. Studies of police and probation officers show that they often use racial cues to assign blame. An African American who commits a crime is likely to be seen as inherently bad or criminal, while a white person who commits a similar crime is more likely to be excused based on external factors, such as peer influence, poor parenting, or mental illness. Recommended punishments differ accordingly, resulting in greater likelihood of arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment for African Americans.

The unconscious nature of these biases helps to explain divergent rates of arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment despite a lack of conscious racist intent on the part of criminal justice professionals. (Other forces, of course, include persisting economic equalities.) Interestingly, the race of the professional is irrelevant. African American police and probation officers engage in just as much negative racial stereotyping of African Americans as do whites.

Research continues to flesh out the specifics of modern racism. Now come two new studies, one about its pervasiveness and the other about its harmful effects.

The current issue of the American Psychologist reports on "racial microaggressions," which are defined as everyday indignities, often unintentional, that communicate hostile or derogatory feelings toward racial minorities. Such microaggressions are divided into microassaults (purposeful discrimination or name-calling), microinsults (rudeness and insensitivity), and microinvalidation (exclusion or negation).

The invisibility and deniability of these subtle forms of racism make them especially problematic. The recipient must try to decide whether the offensive behavior was deliberate or unintentional. If the recipient confronts the aggressor, he or she is typically labeled as oversensitive or even paranoid.

The current issue of the American Journal of Public Health reports that subtle racism is more psychologically damaging than overt discrimination. Whereas recipients can "shrug off" overt discrimination, subtle racism is more likely to be committed by colleagues, neighbors, or friends. As such, it causes recipients to feel that people do not like or accept them, thereby lowering self esteem and leading to depression.

Similar research with African Americans has found that subtle racism is most damaging to their physical health.

Stealth racism is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

I'll be more direct than the US government:

N1GGER N1GGER N1GGERS BANANANANANA N1GGER





How's that for conventional racism?

Btw the Ptolemy kingdom was a Macedonian creation. We were on this continent having Turkish coffee together in Athens with Zeus and Hera writing philosophy when you people were still Neanderthals banging on drums and swinging from trees.

Unless, Macedonians were black! Omg I get it now! It's so obvious! Macedonians are black when it comes to Cleopatra but they're white when it comes to Colonialism, yet we never entered Africa after Anno Domini.

You contradict more than Balkan nations do, pick one strategy and stick to it.

I truely believe in stealth racism---whites are too coward to let a brother or vato knw hw they REALLY feel, so they do lil bitch shit like writing you up for being late -or finding ways to get under your skin but not enough to let it be known their racist --such lil cowards --kinda upsets me when I see the mexicans in Cali sticking up for them and not letting them get raped in their ass by the brothers---cuz we all know that if mexicans didnt have white boys backs theyd get gang raped and sold by the brothers just to pass the time. You cant ever compare the viciousness of a street vato or brother to a white boy on a harley ---if WE ever started acting the way we do on the streets --in the workplace or schools you whites wouldnt know what to do ---if we wanted to we'd just sock you right in your face for fun --and 99% of you wouldnt do a thing! Its that coward ass feminent side to a whiteboy --i purposely say whats up to all the brothers shake their hands give them a heads up whats up to let them know i know what time it is with them weenie whiteboys on the job, back stabbing women --if you got such a problem why dnt you voice it to the next brother you see??no way ! he'd knock your teeth out

Lets all beat a dead horse and argue over who is more racists, who started low-rider culture, why the white man is controlling everything and just keep repeating ourselves....

matter of fact --most latinos are employed--I am mexican...we have less unemployment then whites---its just I believe that mexicans (most) dont see you devils for what you are--and are actually backing your play in the pen and county or else ALL whiteboys in the system in cali would be PC'd....were it not for surenos in cali you white boyz would be blowing every brothers knob on the yard...i swear on that...weak sissy ass fools---

[Azure9920]

Obviously I was exaggerating.

You know those statistics don't count the illegals, right?

Sooo...in a conversation about Mexicans having jobs, those of you who are hard working, contributing citizens, you have to fall back on the behaviour of criminals?

As if you consider that an actual argument.

[perongregory]

Azure, weren't you perpretratin as a GD and a crip (sayin nigga), now you some super smart regular Canadian white dude... what the fuck?

Well that's why they don't pay minorities to think.

Since when is being an illiterate crackhead cool?

Lol the irony of this statement is too much...apparently you thought being an illiterate crackhead was cool, since you were seeking the approval of "illiterate crackheads", gangsta "Chalkfarm Blood".

Why?

I found it pretty hilarious that I had self-proclaimed "gangbangers" hundreds- if not thousands in some cases- devoting time to "pulling my card" as you put it.

Your a fuckin weenie,

whites are too coward to let a brother or vato knw hw they REALLY feel, so they do lil bitch shit like writing you up for being late

Give me more examples

In this world, people need to work for a living, and if your going about being stupid and getting yourself late at work. Its your own fault, take responsibility for your lack of responsibility... Quit being so paranoid,and blaming white people for your lack of character.. Grow up and be a man, little boy...

matter of fact --most latinos are employed--I am mexican...we have less unemployment then whites---its just I believe that mexicans (most) dont see you devils for what you are--

You have no substance in your arguments, you just post what X messages you... If whites were really the devils as you see them, then you would have more unemployment then white people. Mexicans and hispanics have historically been better off in america then blacks.. Your just some little peon that is being recuited by racial extremists...


Your just a little boy, fantasing about laying pipe into a white person, queer..
