A Brief for Whitey » Patrick J. Buchanan - Official Website

A Brief for Whitey » Patrick J. Buchanan - Official Website Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Fair Sentencing Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Sentencing_Act The  Fair Sentencing Act of 2010  (Public Law 111-220) was an  Act of Congress  signed into law by U.S. President  Barack Obama  on August 3, 2010. Similar bills were introduced in several  U.S. Congresses  before its passage in 2010. The law reduced the disparity between the amount of crack cocaine and powder cocaine needed to trigger certain United States federal criminal penalties from a 100:1 weight ratio to an 18:1 weight ratio and eliminated the five-year mandatory minimum sentence for simple possession of  crack cocaine , among other provisions. [ 1 ]  Courts had also acted to reduce the sentencing disparity prior to the bill's passage. Sent from my iPad

U.S. Attitudes Toward Interracial Dating Are Liberalizing - Population Reference Bureau

http://www.prb.org/Articles/2005/USAttitudesTowardInterracialDatingAreLiberalizing.aspx U.S. Attitudes Toward Interracial Dating Are Liberalizing by Alison Stein Wellner (June 2005) As the United States population becomes ever more diverse, are more people dating across race lines? The question isn't simply a matter of whom you'll be going out with on Saturday night. Since interracial dating (or "interdating") and interracial marriage were outlawed or ostracized for so long in U.S. history, many sociologists see the incidence of these relationships as a key indicator of the state of U.S. race relations. Indeed, despite its increasing depiction in the media, interracial romance is still America's "last taboo," according to Tom Smith, director of the General Social Survey at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. "Many people who are honestly accepting of equal treatment across ...

Racial Ideologies and the Social Construction of Race » Sociological Images

Racial Ideologies and the Social Construction of Race » Sociological Images Last month, Lisa posted a video of Jennifer Lee discussing the U.S. racial ideology with Dalton Conley . Jennifer (who teaches sociology at the University of California-Irvine) emailed us to let us know there’s now a second video, in which she discusses the difference between race and ethnicity, as well as how racial ideologies are socially constructed:

The New U.S. Racial Ideology » Sociological Images

The New U.S. Racial Ideology » Sociological Images Enjoy Jennifer Lee , professor of sociology at UC Irvine, discussing how the American concept of race has been changing as we’re confronted with a more complex racial landscape. Are we forcing all racial groups into the pre-existing black/white binary?  A white/non-white binary?  A black/non-black binary?  Or something else?

As Black as We Wish to Be - NYTimes.com

As Black as We Wish to Be - NYTimes.com According to the Pew report, while 9 percent of white newlyweds in 2010 took nonwhite spouses, some 17 percent of black newlyweds, and nearly one-quarter of black males in particular, married outside the race. Numbers like these have made multiracial Americans the fastest-growing demographic in the country. Exhortations to stick with one’s own, however well intentioned, won’t be able to change that.

Affirmative Disaster

Affirmative Disaster | The Weekly Standard Duke admits black students with SAT scores on average over one standard deviation below those of whites and Asians (blacks’ combined math and verbal SATs are 1275; whites’ are 1416, and Asians’, 1457). Not surprisingly, blacks’ grades in their first semester are significantly lower than those of other ethnic groups, but by senior year, the difference between black and white students’ grades has shrunk almost 50 percent. This convergence in GPA might seem to validate preferential admissions by suggesting that Duke identifies minority students with untapped academic potential who will narrow the gap with their white and Asian peers over their college careers.

Affirmative Action - Could Justice Alito's Vote Change the Game? - Yahoo! News "Brown v. Board of Education is the greatest case ever decided, and it held that racial discrimination in public education is unconstitutional. I think we need to re-establish that principle, and Grutter deviated from it. Today, on applications race does matter, and to me that's a sad testament. I don't think that diversity is a sufficiently compelling reason to use race."

IAT race

Implicit Association Test This distribution summarizes 732,881 IAT scores for the race task completed between July 2000 and May 2006. The dark bars indicate faster sorting of African American with Bad and European American with Good , gray bars indicate faster sorting of European American with Bad and African American with Good . The bar height indicates the number of people who scored within that range. The IAT effect (a D score) has a possible range of -2 to +2. Break points for ‘slight’ (.15), ‘moderate’ (.35) and ‘strong’ (.65) were selected conservatively according to psychological conventions for effect size. Scientific reports of the IAT D effect are available in Greenwald, Nosek, & Banaji, 2003 and Nosek, Greenwald, & Banaji, 2006. More information about results for the race IAT is available in Nosek, Banaji, & Greenwald, 2002.
