Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald discuss two implicit bias experiments that were performed in order to reveal any underlying stereotypes when it comes to gender and race. The first one titled the \u201cBecoming Famous Overnight\u201d experiment revealed that within society, people tend to believe that a male has more of a potential to be famous than a female. Even when the subjects were explicitly asked if they believed this, they said they did not however their results said otherwise. Another experiment that was analyzed looked into the common inferences among the relationship between the black population and weapons. The results of these trials showed that \u201cthe automatic <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Black = weapons <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">association is much stronger among all groups who took the test\u201d (105). Through both of these experiments, it was proven that there tend to be negative implicit biases placed against women and the black population. These views cause both of these groups of people to be seen as \u201cinferior,\u201d even in the 21st century. However, what if you belong to both of these populations? What are the personal physical and mental implications of being a black woman? There are countless studies and trials performed on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">just<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the female or colored populations, but there don\u2019t seem to be many analyses carried out that combine the two. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the first portion of the Blind reading for today, Mahzarin R.
