Overt racism - burning cross on the lawn, owning apartments and not letting blacks move in. Implicit bias = very complicated, appreciated way our own biases can influence our own processes in a way we"re not aware of. People who have this might have it for reasons they"re not responsible for. Master i know my slave better than slave knows himself .
