What is the point of “surveys” like this? To foster more mistrust between the races? Who benefits from this?

"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..."

two words come to mind, eric holder.

Unfortunately America has to slip into Banana Republic status before white people come back into demand.

Life is just always like that.

The presumption that whites see race as a zero-sum game is ludicrous. The proper analysis is that people bending over backwards to provide preference to blacks has naturally resulted in pushing some deserving whites to one side.

My father was denied a promotion so that a politically correct black woman could be chosen. He had previously handled much larger offices, but they couldn’t even keep her on the job for long.

The reality is that making decisions based on racial preferences IS a zero sum game. Making hiring decisions based on merit is the only fair system.

It is not bias, it is negro racism that infects the population

Maybe if whites vocally and demonstrably pushed back HARD then others would mind our place.

If whites sees bias as a zero sum game it’s because leftists pushed to impose a legal framework that guaranteed it would be a zero sum game. The Communists do not believe all people can advance together. Now, something must be taken from one group and given to another — redistribution. They bastards love it so. We all have to pay for their economic, social and political insanity.

This is heartening. To the extent that whites begin to perceive the Donks as the black party, the GOP may begin to approach the kind of lock on the white vote that the Democrats have on the black vote - 9 to 1 vote margins.

There is a terrible simmering rage that is appearing here.

Obama and Holder and their statements and policies are at the root, yes?

I’d like to see the statistics on pat downs by TSA by race, and you can adjust it by % of population.

“I do so enjoy these money raising pleas. Too bad you kicked off so many patriots back in the day that criticizing the big spending Bush was a cardinal sin on the so called conservative free republic.

there’s always been racism against whites- it was called a double standard and accepted...thankfully people are starting to wake up in large part due to obozo’s class warfare...

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.
