. NO JOKE! DRUG TESTING FOR MEDICINE TO CURE RACIST THOUGHTS! Only Whites Tested Racist Meds + Obama Gov't Healthcare is not a good combination. From The Washington Times: According to reports, a common drug used to treat high blood pressure is believed to also "curb racist thoughts." According to the London Free Press, a new study from the University of Oxford, which was published at the Psychopharmacology journal, claims that people who took the medication known as propranolol "showed less implicit racism — automatic, subconscious bias — than those who took a placebo." The study was composed of 36 white men and women. The co-author, Sylvia Terbeck, told LFP press that she believes the results contain new evidence about brain processes and implicit racial bias. The U.K. Telegraph describes how study was administered, saying that the test "requires participants to visually sort particular words like 'joy' ,'evil', 'happy' and 'glorious', as well as black and white faces, into the correct categories." Researchers are working off of the idea that "Implicit racial bias can occur even in people with a sincere belief in equality." "Given the key role that such implicit attitudes appear to play in discrimination against other ethnic groups, and the widespread use of propranolol for medical purposes, our findings are also of considerable ethical interest," Terbeck said. The direction of this kind of psycho-medical discussion is going in does not look pretty at all, considering the abundance of individuals who use the "racism" accusation against their political opponents on a daily basis. One can only imagine the day when someone suggests that we should all be taking a pill to cure our inherent racist tendencies, because it would be in the "considerable ethical interest" of society. http://p.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2012/mar/9/picket-anti-racism-pill-way/ .

You know how people claim that whites panic when they see blacks coming toward them. Then everyone claims that it is because of racism that whites are discriminating against blacks. Well, this drug solves that problem. Propranolol (INN) is a sympatholytic non-selective beta blocker. Sympatholytics are used to treat hypertension, anxiety and panic. It was the first successful beta blocker developed. It does not solve the racism problem. But it does prevent the white people from showing how scared they feel. Will even stop the tremors associated with it. hmmmm come to think of it I know people who are on that drug and continue to be racists. Maybe the dose needs to be higher. <shakes head> the study.

. Before Obama leaves he'll have the Dept. of Government Medicine working on Electric-Shock treatments to those that don't put the words / faces in the right order - or those that anyone alleges aren't sufficiently celebratory of a non-white race. . |

. It is time we had the national conversation of shocking those infants that linger too long on white faces in these studies. Modify the Gov't Head Start program to include Shock-Start. We can shock the **** out of the little Racists. Before they grow into oppressive Captains of Industry. Edited by Mason, Mar 10 2012, 09:56 PM.

Think how cutting edge this drug would have been if used in Durham in the spring of 2006. If administered to Crystal, she would not have screamed each time she saw a white, helmeted sport figure walking the streets. |
