[NIMC] Race relations--keep this in mind

[Allen Ivey]

In short, never forget oppression!!

 Current Directions in Psychological Science

John Dixon, Linda R. Tropp, Kevin Durrheim, and Colin Tredoux Harmony is not always what it seems. When advantaged groups have positive interactions with disadvantaged group members, they tend to support programs fostering equality. However, a paradox occurs for disadvantaged groups: Following those positive interactions, they tend to underestimate their suffering, making them less supportive of actions challenging inequality. This suggests that psychologists' tendency to treat conflict between groups as the problem and harmony as the solution may be limited.
