Well of course it is. It is coming from my point of view, lol. Obviously it is going to biased to what I think.
That is why they conduct studies, to try and take personal bias out and just look at the facts.
Yep
I think I am a moderate..........

Maybe the majority of prejudice blacks are really conservative and simply unable to realize their own conservativism and prejudice?
Most 'whites' will never understand the hardships that African Americans endure growing up. Broad and shallow statements, and 'assuming' that 'we' understand the heartaches that cause reverse prejudice are equally insulting. It takes somewhat of a 'superman' to grow up repressed, and not have feelings of anger and resentment. Yet, I know many of these 'Supermen/Superwomen' who believe in forgiveness and love. We whites should be doubly thankful for our salvation in Jesus Christ....without this redemption, 'under the law', we would still be held accountable for our forefather's sins to our generation. There are many African decendants of racial injustice in nations all over the world....who 'do' believe in redemption and forgiveness. There are still millions who are 'not saved' and do not have a mind for forgiveness to our past and 'present' oppression. We should really pray.....Pray for All for salvation, because this is not over yet. The debt that we owe the African peoples is more than we are able to bear. The attrocities comitted are such that we would not survive even a fraction of the cost if it were required of us. This could yet be required of the US, of England and many other nations. If you commit a crime and you repent to God of this crime, God will forgive you. But if you go to court and tell the judge that 'God has forgiven you'.....You will probably still Pay. Pray. Pray earnestly for forgiveness. We cannot bear the cost of the retribution that is due.

Reason: add
We cannot be a true follower of Christ if we have any prejudice in us. Unfortunately racism will be with us until Jesus returns. We cannot heal generations of racism within our society, without repenting of our own prejudices.
I believe any study is personally slanted to begin with, because I don't really believe scientists are unbiased either. I think they pick their subjects very carefully.

When I am offended to the point of being speechless, I laugh.
So most racially prejudiced people are conservative in belief and not so smart in IQ, according to this scientific study.
Or maybe the study is suggesting that the average conservative is racially prejudiced and not smart.
Or maybe.... What are your thoughts?
No...it is not always a matter of IQ, it is very often an issue of being born to; and raised in a hateful bigoted family. There are 'still' people who 'claim' to know Jesus.....yet do not obey His commandments. Jesus said to "Love your brother as yourself". There are many who believe this only applies to whites. I FIRMLY believe that I will not see any of these so-called christians in heaven....unless they repent/change. However, I will continue to pray for true redemption and that people will be strong enough to open thier hearts to our Saviour's love. I also pray.....that I 'do not' share heaven with such people...unless they 'do' repent.

Not sure I could agree. I had no control over past generations sin. I think living in the now is what counts, treating all men with respect and love.

This is not 'my opinion'. It is scripture. Exodus 20:5-6 & Deuteronomy 5:9
for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

So you believe white people of today will be judged by God somethibng that happened generations ago?
