Free Your Mind: Contemporary Racial Attitudes and Post Racial Theory

The inauguration of the United States first Black President has prompted mass discussions of race relations in America. It is often articulated that America is now in a post-racial society. However, the question still remains: does the election of a Black president demonstrate that America is now a color-blind society? To answer this question, we rely on data collected by PEW (2007). Our results suggest that white and African Americans differ significantly in the extent to which they express post-racial attitudes. Specifically, we find that whites more commonly express post-racial attitudes, claiming that racism and discrimination are rare, in opposition to African American views. On the other hand, blacks are more likely to believe that discrimination still occurs. We further find that whites\u27 post-racial beliefs are significant determinants of their attitudes towards race-related policies, such as affirmative action.

Codes of Ethics in Research and Experimentation in Man

Professor Liley\u27s most notable contribution to medicine was the introduction of intrauterine fetal blood transfusion in the management of Rh sensitization. His work has had worldwide recognition. He is Research Professor in Perinatal Physiology, Postgraduate School of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Auckland. It would be illogical for the founder of fetology to accept the thesis that his intrauterine patients had no right to life. Dr. Liley is the first president of the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child. Not a Catholic, his leadership is particularly effective in a pluralistic society that sometimes regards abortion as merely a Catholic issue
