Gordon Parks, Dr. Kenneth B. Clark conducting the Doll Test, Harlem, New York, 1947

In the “doll test,” psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark used four plastic, diaper-clad dolls, identical except for color. They showed the dolls to black children between the ages of three and seven and asked them questions to determine racial perception and preference. Almost all of the children readily identified the race of the dolls. However, when asked which they preferred, the majority selected the white doll and attributed positive characteristics to it. The Clarks also gave the children outline drawings of a boy and girl and asked them to color the figures the same color as themselves. Many of the children with dark complexions colored the figures with a white or yellow crayon. The Clarks concluded that “prejudice, discrimination, and segregation” caused black children to develop a sense of inferiority and self-hatred. This photograph was taken by Gordon Parks for a 1947 issue of Ebony magazine. (via)

How rape trials should go?

Lawyer: Did he rape her?

Witness: Yes, but she was drunk and passed out.

Lawyer: That's not what I asked. Did he rape her?

Witness: Yes, but she was wearin-

Lawyer: I didn't ask what she was wearing. Did he rape her?

Witness: Yes, but-

Lawyer: I didn't ask anything else. It's just a simple yes or no answer. Did he rape her?

Witness: Yes.

Laywer: Yes, he raped her.

Rape is rape is rape, no matter the context.
