Abstract in brief

  • This article discusses how, despite the decline of explicit racist imagery, many Americans still subconsciously associate Black people with apes, which influences their perceptions and judgments.
  • Through experiments and analysis of news reports, the researchers show that this implicit association affects people’s visual perception, attention, and even their likelihood of supporting violence and executions of Black suspects.
  • The study emphasizes that understanding these subtle, historical representations and biases can help us better recognize ongoing forms of discrimination and improve efforts to address dehumanization in society.]
