"Even among the most extreme opponents of President Obama's push for health care reform -- those who equate his proposals to Nazi death camps or Soviet gulags -- there's little overtly expressed racism. Aside from the occasional slip by Republican officials in South Carolina, the public debate over expanding coverage to the uninsured has largely ignored Obama's status as the first African-American president. But implicit racism -- prejudice unacknowledged in public and, in many cases, hidden from conscious awareness -- is a factor in opposition to Obama's health policies. That's the conclusion of a provocative new paper that's one of two research reports on prejudice and the president just published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Interesting! Would love to see a backlash from some devoted skeptics/scientists who take down the many falsehoods and errors presented as truth in current political debate with cold, hard facts. In fact I would join that mission. - Lo the Baker
