This proves that you can create a 'study' to say or pretend to prove anything you want. Notice the number and make up of the participants. Doesn't look very scientific to me, and I know a little about how these studies are supposed to be conducted.

Study: New Drug May Curb Racist Thoughts - Barack & Michelle not interested.
(The London Free Press) — A common prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure may also curb racist thoughts, a new U.K. study suggests.
University of Oxford researchers found people who took the drug propranolol showed less implicit racism — automatic, subconscious bias — than those who took a placebo.
Half of study participants were given the drug and the other half received a placebo. They were given prejudice tests before, during and after taking the pills. Participants were asked to quickly categorize positive and negative words with the faces of back and white people.
Although just 36 white men and women took part in the study, it provides new evidence about the processes in the brain that shape implicit racial bias, co-author Sylvia Terbeck said.
“Given the key role that such implicit attitudes appear to play in discrimination against other ethnic groups, and the widespread use of propranolol for medical purposes, our findings are also of considerable ethical interest,” she said.
According to MedicineNet.com:
Propranolol is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent that is used for treating high blood pressure, heart pain (angina), abnormal rhythms of the heart, and some neurologic conditions. Examples of other beta-adrenergic blockers include metoprolol (Lopressor), atenolol (Tenormin), and timolol (Blocadren).
The findings, if proven out, would be really great in theory, but probably pose an infinitely innavigable morass of regulations and cable news yelling. A lot of the latter to do with racism-killing pills eliminating most of cable news’s content, but whatever. How would you even begin to prescribe this drug—especially against someone’s will? I’ll tell you how: GOVERNMENT-BACKED MIND CONTROL INITIATIVES.
Oh well, you can't please everyone, and apparently there is still no cure for Liberal bias or false claims of racism.
