I took the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and tried to answer as quickly and automatically as possible. Here are my results:

Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for African American compared to European American.


Wow, I didn't realize I would learn so much about myself when I started to blog. I guess it's official now. Showing some slight automatic love for all my sistahs. Holla!

I wonder if the Nina Simone Live at Montreux 1976 on BETJZ blaring from the TV had any influence on my answers.

...was after mom's one-of-a-kind designer ring purchase when I realized that she was wearing a $1.00 necklace she had bought the day before on the street near battery park. We had a good laugh when I wondered aloud if they thought that the jeweler had noticed.

you remain

what do you do with old regrets
there’s a box full underneath the bed
just close enough not to forget
but do what do you do with old regrets

night and day
you remain

ghetto of my mind

I still have that leopard-skin hat
that you gave me way back
before it was cool
and they took it to school

Went to the Femme Femme Femme exhibit yesterday...

With paintings by such artists as Renoir, Degas, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec and Picasso, Femme, femme, femme celebrates the emergence of the modern woman as seen through art. This evolution of women's roles is presented through several themes beginning with timeless images of domestic life in the family circle from birth to death, progressing to the nineteenth-century phenomenon of women working outside the home and the emerging independence of the twentieth-century woman. This exhibition is the fulfillment of a promise made to New Orleans just two months after Hurricane Katrina as the French Minister of Culture and Communication, Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, and President of the Louvre, Henri Loyrette, led a delegation of French diplomats and art curators on a visit to the city and the New Orleans Museum of Art. They renewed their solidarity with our beleaguered city and their desire to assist NOMA during this unprecedented time by organizing this exhibition of nearly one hundred works from the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, and museums throughout France.
