My research is in the areas of neighborhood effects and urban poverty, group conflict and racial attitudes, class structure and income inequality, and methods of causal inference in observational research. My dissertation examines the link between class structure, defined in terms of property and authority relations in production, and growing aggregate income inequality in America since the early 1980s. I’m also currently working on several projects dealing with the impact of neighborhood poverty on child development and the association between cognitive ability and racial attitudes among white Americans. My previous research on these topics has been published in American Sociological Review, Demography, and Social Psychology Quarterly.

So in short - if you oppose: Obamacare, Amnesty, Entitlement Reform, etc... you are a racist. Even if you are a lib who supports every tax loving program ever created by the govt you are still a racist but don't know it. In fact, if you are simply white you are a racist, period.

This article got picked up by a few other sources including MSN. Look at the photo used as an example of "lower echelon counterparts" - unreal...

It's like Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakkhan have said all along: We're all nothing but evil blue-eyed devils!

Is this really the black's new line: You're racist no matter what? ROFL!

Well then, how about this: You're all lower socio-economic minimum-wage workers no matter what!

Turn-about's fair play in my book.

The latest mantra of the haters is that all Whites are racist, even as babies. No use denying it, even if you aren’t, you are.
Proof: Zimmerman, Paula Deen, the rodeo clown.
Convinced?

I agree with him...that is, if he’s referring to WHITE LIBERALS...however, he used the word ‘intelligent’...so it’s confusing.

> Wodtke, a sociology doctoral candidate, analyzed data on racial attitudes from more than 20,000 white Americans participating in the nationally representative General Social Survey. The average study participant was calculated to be a 47-year-old white person who completed 12.9 years of education, answering six of 10 cognitive ability test questions correctly.

Something is wrong with their data set samples. “Smarter white people” would not participate in a survey setup to falsely “prove” a thereom consisting of questions that are intentionally skewed and geared to make one come to a conlusion that the author wants to portray. Most polls today are setup to manipulate the public’s opinions using bandwagon mentality. Obama is an expert at it.

If you remember at one of obama’s carnaval rallies back in 08 he looks like that overly excited mushhead that was thanking obama for blessing us with his brilliance and his devine intervention, remember?

“protecting their privileged position “
he’s not very good at hiding his bias.

Eastern European Communists would force you to open your home to unwelcome lower class people if it were a certain size. There are still many such 'community homes' in Poland; they are without exception ruins of their former self, many once were gorgeous manor homes - others simply multistory buildings in cities.

The new Amerika will do the same. You will like it - or else you are a racist and will need to be sent to a special re-education prison sensitivity training.

References to income inequality are irrelevant. How can one quantify money and goods obtained by theft, illegal commerce, extortion, or other means? People without visible sources of income may just be better at hiding it.

So then blacks are not smart - as they find it impossible to hide their hatred for whitey. It’s part of their fabric, it’s who they are.

So this white kid, filled with white guilt and educated in a liberal University by liberal professors, and living among those smarter persons has had a few of his theories published by liberal magazines, and thinks he is right.

Let him move to Washington DC and live in Anacostia around Galen and Green Street for a year. If he is still alive after that year let me see what he writes about black racism.

'Smarter' Whites Just As Racist As Others, But Are Better At Hiding It

Therefore, by the standards of correlation of this study, 'dumber' lacks are worse at hiding their racism.

So... this kid made up a survey about a whole bunch of liberal policies and classified people as racist if they don’t support those policies. I wonder if he considered for even one second that people can oppose liberal utopian pipe dreams and not be racist.

The people I would classify as racist are those who think that you have to keep black people on the liberal plantation and “take care” of them like livestock—in other words, just about anyone who supports Democrat policies vis-à-vis the poor.

Looks like he’s getting the attention he wanted by publishing outright lies. With the posting on here and subsequent comments (including mine), he gets more notoriety which he richly does not deserve.

I wonder if they care how many racists they created with this crap?

Because I know many people who never were are having changes of heart.

Racism exists. Compared to the inequalities of socialist redistribution, it is a drop in the bucket.

I keep repeating this: the reason we have Obama for a second term and nothing is being done to stop his agenda is that the elitists in positions of power are racist. That's why our politicians refuse to stand up to him in meaningful ways. They're over-compensating for their racism by not wanting to appear so.

Among the lower echelons who actually have contact with blacks and hispanics, I see a real ability to distinguish between the good and the bad. The prevailing attitude I encounter is that blacks and hispanics are accepted to work, shop, and live here...just don't bring their old neighborhoods with them.

The elite haven't been in a situation where they have to make that distinction.

and may in fact truly believe — all the right things about racial equality in principle

So just what is 'all the right things'?
