    Well, all things being considered, we certainly don't fall short in the self-criticism and freedom of speech departments. Which is a good thing.

    And indeed, the video is very good at that.

    EDIT: Deleted my video post below. Too much controversy and issues as it is. Feel free to continue to discuss.

    With the voice of an angel Curtis Mayfield once sang this song. Childish Gambino may have set off some sparks but this, when you really listen unleashes hell in your mind. After listening fast forward to 2018 again and try not to facepalm. That Douglas Adams inspired song by A Perfect Circle sums everything up very nicely. Yes I kept in all my sarcasm writing this. (I am in a good mood today.) Even Dante did not go this far (his "Divine Comedy" is worth it!)



    Warning: one of the heaviest songs ever written. Listen with headphones at work!

    How does the paper resolve? When in the course of reducing prejudice in the disadvantaged group you diminsh perceptions its magnitude, do you counter this by explicitly increasing awareness, or is that contrary to the goal itself?
