Study: Whites Find Black Men Hostile Even When They Smile
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2016 7:01 amThe Truth is written in their hearts:
“For example, the extent to which a subject’s hand initially veered toward the ‘angry’ response when categorizing a non-angry Black male face predicted the extent to which neural-activation patterns for Black male faces and angry faces were more strongly correlated in the subject’s fusiform cortex,” an NYU release summarizing the study stated. “[M]en, and particularly Black men, were initially perceived ‘angry,’ even when their faces were not objectively angry.”

Not only that, the study also found that Whites perceived all blacks as "masculine" regardless of their gender:
“In addition, Asian faces were initially perceived ‘female’ and Black faces were initially perceived ‘male,’ regardless of the faces’ actual gender. The researchers confirmed, using a separate group of subjects, that the specific pattern of visual biases observed matched prevalent stereotypical associations in the U.S. to a significant degree.”
