(Video)
Several psychologists, authors, & media personalities discuss how television and images impact the human mind's subconscious perception of race and racism. It is suggested that images on television can have an unconscious influence on your decision making and behavior beyond your conscious awareness. Some psychologists have created "Implicit Association Tests" (IAT) to measure the level of racial influences we may have latent within our subconscious. The results of these studies suggest that it is possible to harbor certain unconscious attitudes toward race/racism that are in direct conflict with our conscious belief system.
The video concludes, that the environments in which we live, where television is mostly dominated by (postive)White images and (negative Black Images), may affect how you feel and behave toward yourself and others without your conscious realization.
How much TV is your child watching? And how does it affect their self image?
