Part 1 of 8:

"The discussion of race is never a black and white issue, and recent "AC360°" and CNN.com reports about young children's attitudes on race became one of the most discussed stories on the site, eliciting more than 4,500 comments. In the study, white children had an overwhelming bias toward white, and black children also had a bias toward white, but it was not nearly as strong as the bias shown by the white children. Many users of the site thought parenting was the issue behind the results, some thought the kids were too naive and others thought the testing method was flawed."

Short Video:  "A Look at Race Relations From a Child's Eyes"

Great glimpse into children's racial perspectives/perceptions.  Also shows how real the issue of racism (whether intentional or not) still is today.

Great discussion about various aspects of racism including everything from definitions to micro-inequities in regards to racism today.  Many of the points and perspectives on the issue that I bring up in my narrative are addressed.  It's a long one, but worth it.

1 The term victim may refer to a person, business, institution, or society as a whole.
2 The term known offender does not imply that the identity of the suspect is known, but only that an attribute of the suspect has been identified, which distinguishes him/her from an unknown offender.
3 In a multiple-bias incident, two conditions must be met:  (a) more than one offense type must occur in the incident and (b) at least two offense types must be motivated by different biases. Economist/YouGov poll asking Americans if they think that race and ethnicity will matter more or less in society as diversity increases.  Great conversation starter! http://today.yougov.com/news/2012/05/23/most-think-increased-diversity-will-reduce-racial-/
