Abstract
The result was a veritable feedback loop whose cognitive output, the mental imprint of "morally impoverished" "super- predators,"14 continually fed its input. [...]even as crime rates among black youth have dropped steadily since the mid-1990s, these selfreinforcing associations and dissociations have prompted lawmakers and their constituents to continue to support laws and policies that they know disproportionately punish and incapacitate young black males. [...]is the apparent extent to which even subliminal racial primes can influence our perceptions of individuals.
