What horrible news reporting, especially the Klu Klux Klan pictures.
I think what they've actually shown (and I'm a liberal) about social politics is that people who aren't very smart and hang out with liberals would knee-jerk respond to statements about racism negatively, because that's what liberal politics says to do.
At least the Huff Post links to the study-- most other articles don't. http://pss.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/01/04/0956797611421206.abstract
