Ape-like Figure Was The Reason White Americans Discriminate African Americans

ScienceDaily (Feb. 8, 2008) — Crude historical depictions of African Americans as ape-like may have disappeared from mainstream U.S. culture, but research presented in a new paper by psychologists at Stanford, Pennsylvania State University and the University of California-Berkeley reveals that many Americans subconsciously associate blacks with apes.
In addition, the findings show that society is more likely to condone violence against black criminal suspects as a result of its broader inability to accept African Americans as fully human, according to the researchers.
The African Americans did enrich America’s culture.
Do you know in ancient China, the Chinese called the whites as Yang-Gui-Zi (洋鬼子）, which literally means ghost? This is because the white dudes have red beard, green eyes.
