This
excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary American Denial looks at
the “Implicit Bias Test,” which was created to test people’s unconscious
bias toward words, and races. It is not about conscious attitudes and
beliefs, as one researcher tells us in the film, but about something you
yourself may not know you have.
American Denial sheds a unique
light on the unconscious political and moral world of modern Americans.
By highlighting the social research unearthed by a Swede's research in
the 1940's, the film weaves a narrative (using research footage,
newsreels, home movies, and modern short films) exposing some of the
potential underlying causes continuing to affect implicit racial biases
inherent in America’s institutions today. Timely given recent events
that have sparked a national dialogue on race dynamics, the provocative
film’s exploration of “stop and frisk” practices, the incarceration
crisis, and racially-patterned poverty challenges our assumptions about
who we are and what we really believe.
