[lbo-talk] racism and wapo

[info at pulpculture.org]

The Washington post has an article on the social psych research behind 
political proclivities. what they find isn't especially surprising: people 
make emotionally- and ideologically-based decisions; partisans can't deal 
with criticisms of their party/candidate; they reward themselves like 
addict for ignoring the truth about their preferred candidate/party; and, 
while US society is racist in general,the correlation between racist 
prejudice and support the republican party is higher and consistently so, a 
finding backed by plenty of othe research.

What is truly outrageous is the structure of the entire article. Excellent 
of example of structural racism.

"Scream-of-consciousness prose, peppered with
sociological observations, political ruminations, and
in-yore-face colloquial assaults."
