I performed the light skinned versus dark skinned test on IAT. The results from my test showed that I favor dark skinned versus light skinned people. I do think the test produced valid results. I have a sister that is a darker skinned African American. I watched people treat her different than myself growing up. I have always made a conscious effect to make sure I block those negative prejudices. I think it is possible to point out prejudice but not to accurately measure them. I feel there is no
