The Washington Post writes about a study linking anti-black bias and Republicanism:

That study found that supporters of President Bush and other conservatives had stronger self-admitted and implicit biases against blacks than liberals did.

"What automatic biases reveal is that while we have the feeling we are living up to our values, that feeling may not be right," said University of Virginia psychologist Brian Nosek, who helped conduct the race analysis. "We are not aware of everything that causes our behavior, even things in our own lives."
Over/under on the number of days before AEI or Heritage produces a study indicating - using complicated statistical analysis - that Brian Nosek is simply trying to cover his own racism by accusing others: 12.
