Here's where you can take a test to determine your "implicit association"
for racial attitudes. It is very interesting to take (I did). I'm not sure that I agree with its findings but it's worth trying it.

This test was mentioned by OpEd columnist Charles Blow in yesterday's New York Times. You can read his column here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/21/opinion/21blow.html

1. Did that a year or two ago. No leaning either way.

2. I found the need for speed was a bit too much for my old brain.
I couldn't switch my fingers fast enough and caused errors which the program tabulating results probably interpreted as somehow racist.

Maybe people past the age of 60 shouldn't attempt it or it should be modified for us old liberals...

6. kinda weird...
I had a strong preference for Obama over McCain - no surprise there, but...

a slight preference for black people over white people?

That's...odd.
