AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks

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.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^”

Translation: Obama lost because whites are racists.

All races perform a self protective personal profiling assessment of individuals that enter “their space”. It’s part of that be aware of your surroundings thing.

Let us further be aware that young black men are known to play the “knock out” game on unsuspecting whites. White guys with prison tattoos are to be avoided like the plague. Grungy people are a greater potential for problems. Kids should not help the stranger look for the puppy. And Asians of any sex can’t drive and one should drive defensively when they are present.

All healthy defenses that will prolong your life. No guilt.

Watch “Hardcore Pawn” sometime.....what do ya expect?

And the questions that surveyed the “anti-white” prejudice were...?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Whites in America elected a half-black President four years ago - and now we are racists. FUAP. You are clueless. People are getting sick of this tired old diatribe, and it will have the opposite effect from that which you intend. Crap like this will push people to get rid of the current racist occupant of the White House.

[RavenATB]

If 98 percent of the white population voted for the white candidate in 2008 we’d have seen years of stories about “racism” in America over the past four years.

But when 98 percent of blacks vote for the black candidate, the MSM ignores the racial (racist) component of the vote entirely.

So much for their “concern” about racism...

from the FBI.... 12-18 year old black males commit 70% of all crimes in the U.S. ......what do ya expect?

You beat me to it. The Lames see the writing on the wall, so they are setting up the meme that Zero lost due to racism. “Our +9D polls were not wrong! The Bradley effect was why the result didn’t match the polls.”

At the same time, they are desperately hoping they can stir up some white guilt to vote for Zero a second time. Hopefully, this will not work this time.

[Tzfat]

Ditto.

[MinuteGal]

The survey questions asked respondents whether they agreed or disagreed with a series of statements about blacks and Hispanics. The survey also included questions posed and reactions noted after a series of photos of blacks, Hispanics and white males were flashed on a screen......blah, blah, blah, blah.

Funny how we never get to see a detailed list of the questions posed....nor are we able to view the photos involved.....we get to see only the "results" which are always cunningly presented and enveloped in an aura of "fact", holy scripture and superiority.

People buy into these racist psychobabble crap "surveys" and never even think to question the results or question the questioners themselves (who are generally left-wing academics, psychologists, professional feeders off the racial i$$ue indu$try plus limp-wristed liberal nerds and metrosexuals who infest social justice organizations).

Thanks John W.

[gotribe]

This is the lamest article. It provides no data from the survey questions to back up its claims. Let’s see the actual survey questions and results!

[John W]

Nail on the head as usual, Leni.

As a group blacks are more likely to commit crimes, be on public assistance, be unemployed,far more likely to have children out of wedlock, and in general engage in antisocial behavior. If one recognizes these facts, I suppose that makes one a racist.

OTOH, you can be aware of facts, and still cling to the outmoded and abhorrent practice of treating people as individuals rather than as the embodiment of racial, ethnic, gender and class stereotypes.

Right on. Count me in. Not because he is black, but because he is against America...!

“What? Trick questions?”

Survey questions:

Have you ever ridden in a pickup truck?

Do you believe that Blacks eat watermelon?

...............................Fried Chicken?

Do you have any white sheets in your linen closet?

Can you spell “Dixie”?

Can you hum a few bars of Dixie?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you DEFINITELY harbor !!RACIST!!, Racist!, racist attitudes.
