• http://buster.cs.yale.edu/implicit/measure3.html
  
The following explanation is taken from different portions of the web site and edited for coherence:
It is well known that people don't always 'speak their minds', and it is suspected that people don't always 'know their minds'. Understanding such divergences is important to scientific psychology.  This web site presents a new method that demonstrates public-private and conscious-unconscious divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous methods. This new method is called the Implicit Association Test, or IAT for short.  There are several different IATs on this site, including the Race ('Black-White') IAT.  This IAT requires the ability to distinguish faces of European and African origin and basic fluency in English.  The Black-White IAT may be our most distressing test because it indicates that most Americans have an automatic preference for White over Black.

• http://www.thielen.com/barbie/
Created by the family whose 8-year-old girl did the "Barbie" experiment in which she showed adults and children two Barbies (one white, one black) and asked them which they preferred.  The school took down her poster because school official were afraid it would make other children feel uncomfortable, which is when the national and even international media picked up the story.
 
• http://www-personal.umich.edu/~eandersn/biblio.htm  This is an annotated bibliography of resources on race, gender, and affirmative action intended for the use of faculty who are designing courses concerning race, gender, and affirmative action, and for students and browsers interested in a guide to the literature.  This bibliography cites three types of sources:  (1) short, accessible articles suitable for undergraduate teaching (noted with an asterisk); (2) longer and more technical works useful for graduate instruction or faculty reference; (3) sources available on the web (underlined, with links).

• http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Essays/Racism.html
This site is supposed to be about racism in Star Wars and Star Trek.  I say "supposed to be" because the author doesn't have a mainstream definition of racism.  For example, some of the issues that the author takes with Star Trek are not so much about racism but about how Star Trek TNG essentializes race, that is attributes characteristics like courage to race and assumes that they are unchangeable.  In any case, an interesting web site for fans of science fiction.

• http://www.racialcompact.com/  "Promotes preservation, independence and legitimate rights and interests of all races"
• http://sonsofliberty.org/americanpride/allegnce.html  Is Americanism Racism?  This article argues "no" but also argues that it is not possible to have multiple identities and loyalties, meaning that it is not possible to be a "hyphenated American."

• http://racetraitor.org  This site argues for the elimination of the white race.  The following is taken from the homepage:  "The key to solving the social problems of our age is to abolish the white race, which means no more and no less than abolishing the privileges of the white skin. Until that task is accomplished, even partial reform will prove elusive, because white influence permeates every issue, domestic and foreign, in U.S. society.  The existence of the white race depends on the willingness of those assigned to it to place their racial interests above class, gender, or any other interests they hold. The defection of enough of its members to make it unreliable as a predictor of behavior will lead to its collapse."
