Mamie's research involved a coloring test and a doll test. Three year old Afro-American children were given a sheet of paper with the drawings of an apple, a leaf, an orange, a mouse, and a boy and a girl. They were also given a box twenty-four crayons with the colors brown, black, yellow, white, pink, and tan. Mamie would then ask them to pretend that the little girl or boy was them, and to color the picture the same color they were. After the child responded, Mamie would ask the child to color the opposite gendered picture the color they want it to be. The results proved Mamie's suspicions. All Afro-American children with very light skin colored the picture correctly. Most of the darker skinned Afro-American children colored the picture with yellow or white crayons. Some children even used red or green. Mamie concluded that the children's choice of inappropriate colors indicates emotional anxiety in terms of the color of their own skin; that because they wanted to be white, they pretended to be (Clark 1944).
In the coloring test, children were shown a white doll and a black doll. They were asked simply, which doll they preferred to play with. Over half of the children rejected the black doll and preferred the white doll. The children were first asked to give the experimenter the colored doll, and then the white doll. This way, Mamie could be sure that the children could identify the difference between the two.
Ms. said:Related to your question, possibly: are you familiar with the experiments conducted in 1946 by Mamie Phipps Clark with her husband Kenneth? the following quote is from this site:

I find most of the discrimination these days comes from within rather than the outside! If you'd like me to explain more of what I'm talking about ask otherwise I'll save some space on the boards!

Minorities are just that because they choose to be most of the time. I know many ppl who are from so called minority races and you know what they don't represent themselves that way and then there are the ones that do.
I have busted my behind ever since I was 13, Others sit back and get what they want when they want it! Just like the Miss America Pagent...other races are allowed to enter it but yet there is a Miss Black America Pagent! I dont feel this is fair....If Blacks and others are allowed in the Miss America Pagent then why have their own????
Half the time gripe about how they were allowed to do it in their home country so they should be able to do it here.
You are just idealizing here. There is no such thing. What one minority likes the other has conflicts with.I knwo but I think each one should be. I dont like the idea of racism at all. by anyone. I am quite idealistic I know
