1947 NEGRO DOLL RACE CHILD PSYCHOLOGY EXPERIMENT PHOTO

This photograph shows a child participant in Dr. Kenneth B. Clark's 1947 "doll" test; an experiment in which children were given a choice of black dolls and white dolls. The majority of Black children chose to play with white dolls and identified the Black dolls as "bad." Clark's testimony in Brown v. Topeka Board of Education was pivotal in the Supreme Court's determination that segregation was damaging to the hearts and minds of Black children.

Why would an 8 year old boy be given some dolls?

maybe in "47" 8 year old boys still playing with dolls was acceptable IDK....

I feel like this is the quintessential example of whats wrong with the youth today.

Everything just has that subtle feel to it

Why would an 8 year old boy be given some dolls?

For the purpose of the experiment maybe?

shyt is depressing.

I don't even know where to begin to change this...outside of drastic moves...like complete cut off from them and their culture.

I did this test with daughter a few months back..

"I don't like the pale one it looks like a ghoul"

"I like the brown one it looks like my dad"

There's a scene in a movie that I think shows this study.
It was a movie on Thurgood Marshall with Sidney Poitier.

Just found it.
It's called "Separate But Equal" (1991)
It was a TV movie. I saw it about 2 months ago.
