Both white Americans and black Americans perceive significant progress in the fight against anti-black bias, but white Americans believe the progress has come at their expense, a new survey finds.
The researchers contacted a random national sample of 209 whites and 208 blacks, and asked them how much discrimination each group faced, on a scale of one to ten, for each decade since the 1950s.
Black Americans saw anti-black bias as declining steadily, from 9.7 in the 50s to 6.1 in the 00s. Over the same period, they perceived a small increase in anti-white bias, from 1.4 to 1.8.
White Americans saw an even steeper decline in anti-black bias: from 9.1, in the 50s, to 3.6, in the 00s. But more striking, according to the researchers, was the sharp increase in perceived anti-white bias: Among whites, it shot up from 1.8 to 4.7.
White Americans, in short, thought that anti-white bias was a greater societal problem by the 00s than anti-black bias.
The researchers described the patternwhich did not vary markedly with regard to age or education levelsas evidence that white Americans see race relations as a zero-sum game, in which one groups gains must be offset by anothers loss.

The game was being played long before Obama arrived on the scene.
Think UN and think Uncle Sucker’s inherent subservience to this evil organization.
Notice the direction of flow of international migration ever since the creation of the UN. It is ALWAYS towards the West and NEVER in the other direction.
Then ask yourself: How did this migration ever benefit the West?
All racists can take a leap! Unfortunately, there are some in governmental positions that are obviously biased and seem to have power over you.
No matter what people do or say, the black population hates whites more than we know. Its obvious to most, yet it seems PC police say racism is wrong, but only for white people.
Its a hate crime if a white man kills a black crime, but that never applies if a black man kills a white man. I guess that was done out of love..it always amazes me that people eat this pile of crap.
Cities are destroyed and turned into crime pits, and slums, and yet that is to be accepted. Accept it in your neighborhood, or the government will come after you. Rising crime rates as the big cities are destroyed and they move on into the suburbs, and it is to be accepted and you better like it. Its pushed into your face, and the crackers with white guilt add to it. These liberal white guilt morons live in Lilly white neighborhoods, and preach to rest of us about diversity. But they don't live it, and they make sure they don't.
I am sick and tired of this whole racist pile of garbage. No one as a free man has to like anyone. They don't like white people! They like your money and their free ride, section 8, welfare and food stamps. They laugh at us.
Now go to work, and pay your taxes, like a good cracker. We are now the slaves.
Your tagline should say(2nd Amendment of Re-education Camp). Cause the second is the only thing holding this lot in Washington from firing up the 40X8s!
From the article:
“Both white Americans and black Americans perceive significant progress in the fight against anti-black bias, but white Americans believe the progress has come at their expense, a new survey finds.”
Indeed there is an “anti-white” bias, and it is ever-growing. It will eventually morph into an “anti-gentilism” (for lack of a better term) which will resemble the classic anti-Semitism expressed against Jews. Euros will become a shrinking portion of the population, reduced in numbers but perceived (by non-Euros) as hoarding a lion’s share of influence, power, and wealth. Eventually, they will become the target of political and cultural demonization, which will intensify as the Euros decrease in numbers. The more that Euros attempt to refute this, and the regardless of how “fair” they try to be, the more bitter the chorus against them will ring.
What is the _real_ source of such bias, though?
Where did it originate from?
I contend that it began with the passage of the Civil Rights Act and subsequent “anti-discrimination” laws and court decisions that followed.
By codifying in law the very concept of “discrimination”, and that one or more racial or ethnic groups had been “wronged”, we opened the door to everything that ensued. We should NEVER have elevated ANY class of people, ANY ethnic or racial group to the equivalent of a “super-protected” status that some such groups seem to enjoy today.
Once they achieved such protection, it paved the way for such things as affirmative action, deemed necessary to repair prior “wrongs”.
As Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, “the way to end racial discrimination is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” (hope I got the quote correctly)
There should never have been a “Civil Rights Law”, for the same reason there should not be “hate crime laws”.
In a country where the premise is that everyone is equal, there should be no need for such laws.
Justice Roberts recognized the truth:
The more anti-discrimination legislation that is passed, the more DISCRIMINATION there will be.
Outstanding :-). Consider it copied.
That’s an interesting point. Put Holder and Obama next to Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, Walter E. Williams, and Clarence Thomas — and then tell us who the authentic blacks are, at least according to skin color (which liberals are obsessed with). Obama is particularly inauthentic in that he doesn’t have a single drop of slave blood in his body. Half white hippy chick, half African Muslim — yeah, he’s the real deal.
Know your Dad’s situation all too well.
That is just the kind of small-mindedness the WSJ is invoking against. In your example, the white guy also wins because his loss serves to partially atone for his inherited racial guilt. Thus a win-win situation!!!
In Montgomery County MD the politicians and their liberal asshat minions have dispersed the illegals and minorities throughout the county through welfare chits for housing and extensive bus routes (although, not for the politicians’ neighborhoods). This leaves many afraid to go out (especially at night) for fear of having their wealth “redistributed” by these ferals. Maryland THE Freak state.
This is ridiculous, to be called racist by a sleazy white guy who is pretending to be black. Coward, indeed.
What if we actually start calling them on it?
listen to his words.
How is related to the topic of bias?
