[All Along The Watchtower]

Majority admit it.

I remember hearing about a study that was done, in the recent past,  to test racially-based fears among the white American population. The participants in the study would be shown certain images (say, a photo of a black man's face) and brain activity would then be measured.

Over 90% of the white participants had increased measurable brain activity in the amygdala (IIRC) when the photos of black people's faces were shown to them.

Can't remember the specific study though.
