Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.
Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some Americans' more favorable views of blacks.
Racial prejudice has increased slightly since 2008 whether those feelings were measured using questions that explicitly asked respondents about racist attitudes, or through an experimental test that measured implicit views toward race without asking questions about that topic directly.
In all, 51 percent of Americans now express explicit anti-black attitudes, compared with 48 percent in a similar 2008 survey.

Whether something is “implicitly” racist is a matter of interpretation, and I would not trust the agenda driven leftist grievance mongers to interpret such things fairly. Thus I discount this entire exercise. I know what real racism is, having heard rather naked disparagement of different races from those in my grandparents’ generation, but that kind of stuff is not to be compared with the silly things that he left calls racist today.
If your poll were true... you could find all of this right wing hate... but you cannot because it does not exist. Racism is alive and well in the black community... that is where you will find it... and at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue... there is plenty to be found there.
LLS
Oh sure.....when he loses, the Left will insist it’s because we are racists, not because he is a Communist. They will never believe it’s because we still want to have the liberty that many better men than Obummer died for in our past.
“Experience” is not a “prejudice.”
America was growing steadily more colorblind until Obama. Noow it’s almost at race war. Instigated by Obama. Makes Stormfront look like amateur children.
Yes - and blacks just love whitey!
blah, blah, blah
‘.......WHETHER THEY RECOGNIZE THOSE FEELINGS OR NOT...”
LOL
I am never going to respect the so called men who father children they never intend to take care of.
NO; it’s not “prejudice” against blacks. It’s recognization of the FACTS of what blacks have become, due to their constant “Victimization” appeasement by Democrats, and USING THEM as a tool for Votes.
Obama has failed.
and just how do they make this determination??
Racists (and Marxists) ALWAYS play the Race card when facts and reality does not support their agenda.
“Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.”
I only dislike blacks who act like white trash or Democraps.
Hey, any study on anti-white bigotry among blacks?
96% of blacks voted against McCain, a white man, in 2008. Systemic racism!
And that's where we go wrong - we should be going on the offense:
"Really? That's interesting. So...how exactly am I a racist?"
Start putting the accusers on the defensive, keep questioning them to define their accusations. And it's fun to see them get all flustered and angry when they can't even logically support their own position.
The media temper tantrum against the American people over Obama’s pending loss begins.
