I will admit that I had to watch the movie Memento two times because I could not understand the numerous stories that Leonard had.

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.

the story being told by the narrator must be true because they have lived it but i say the narrator is so unreliable that the only thing that can been seen as truthful in the film is the fact that a story is being told. In the films “Rashomon” and “Memento” the narrators tone changes throwout out the movie leaving the viewer in a situation where they don’t know what actually happened. This makes the film not to find truth‚ but to have the viewer create a hypothesis even if there are no results. During

White Privilege and Implicit Racism Racism doesn’t exist anymore right? The KKK isn’t roaming the streets lynching here and there. People aren’t glaring at black people as they walk past innocently. Bathrooms and water fountains are no longer segregated. It’s true that explicit racism no longer exists (in most parts of the world) but a topic many people avoid is white privilege.
