The Clark Doll Test was created by Dr. Kenneth Clark and his wife, Marmie Clark. It focused on stereotypes and self perception in relation to race. Clark wanted to show that segregation in schools was misconstruing the mind of young African American children and causing them to internalise racism and view themselves as lesser. In the test, African American children ranging from 6-years-old to 9-years-old were shown two dolls - one was white and one was black. They were asked a number of questions such as: Show me the doll that you like best or that you would like to play with. Show me the doll that is the ‘nice’ doll. Show me the doll that looks ‘bad.’ Give me the doll that looks like a white child. Give me the doll that looks like a coloured child. Give me the doll that looks like a Negro child. Give me the doll that looks like you. The test showed that the children preferred to play with with white doll as opposed to the black doll. The children were then asked to colour in a human figure with the colour of their own skin - the majority chose a lighter shade. As well as this, the children gave the white doll positive attributes such as “good” and “pretty” while describing the black doll as “bad” and “ugly”. 44% of the children said that the white doll looked like them as opposed to the black doll. This test indicated that African American children, even as young as just 6-years-old, suffered internalised racism due to segregation. The findings paved the way for an increase in psychological research into areas of self-esteem and self-concept.

Note the tested kid is a mulatto. I have no idea why should he be expected to identify with a black doll.

Then note another thing:

The skull shape of the white doll and skull shape of the black doll.

From what I see the black doll has a completely different skull shape than the kid and the testing guy. Weird skull shape with bulging forehead like a cartoon villain and is overall sinister looking. I don’t know why any kid would like to identify with it.

What if the black doll would actually have similar skull shape and skin tone to the tested persons and you know, like actually wouldn’t be ugly?

I speculate that the kids picked white doll, not because of internalised racism, but because the white doll was more similar to themselves!

None of the children in the experiment were mixed race and the dolls were exactly the same other than the skin colour and hair colour.

The hoops that people will jump through in order to deny that racism exists. 😒 Thanks for setting them straight, Ems.

I feel like I’m the only one who misses the guy on Tumblr who used to put things under his man boobs.

In 2012, water mysteriously started dripping from the toes of a Jesus statue in India, and people began to worship, collect, and even drink it. When a local ‘miracle buster’ found it was coming from a nearby clogged toilet, he was threatened, charged with blasphemy, and had to flee the country to avoid arrest. Source

When depression-era farmwomen had to start using flour bags and feed sacks to make clothes for their families, manufacturers began making their bags out of brightly-colored and printed fabrics to boost sales and add a little flair to the common sack dress.

Once the trend caught on to the point that manufacturers were confident it would stick, they started making fabrics in an even wider variety of patterns and colors:
