Almost eight years after Barack Obama’s election as the nation’s first black president –an event that engendered a sense of optimism among many Americans about the future of race relations1 – a series of flashpoints around the U.S. has exposed deep racial divides and reignited a national conversation about race. A new Pew Research Center survey finds profound differences between black and white adults in their views on racial discrimination, barriers to black progress and the prospects for change. Blacks, far more than whites, say black people are treated unfairly across different realms of life, from dealing with the police to applying for a loan or mortgage. And, for many blacks, racial equality remains an elusive goal.
An overwhelming majority of blacks (88%) say the country needs to continue making changes for blacks to have equal rights with whites, but 43% are skeptical that such changes will ever occur. An additional 42% of blacks believe that the country will eventually make the changes needed for blacks to have equal rights with whites, and just 8% say the country has already made the necessary changes.
A much lower share of whites (53%) say the country still has work to do for blacks to achieve equal rights with whites, and only 11% express doubt that these changes will come. Four-in-ten whites believe the country will eventually make the changes needed for blacks to have equal rights, and about the same share (38%) say enough changes have already been made.

It’s much worse now than it was 8 years ago.

“And, for many blacks, racial equality remains an elusive goal. “
So sick of this Shiite.
Did the poll find what percentage of citizens feel that in spite of “Affirmative Action” Blacks have not been given enough unfair advantages and are still crybabies anyway???
:-)

I do remember that Rush Limbaugh predicted race relations would become worse and blasted by the MSM for his prediction, which, as noted by others, has come true.
And the recent ruling on reverse discrimination, i.e., Affirmative Action, only makes it worse. You’ll never end discrimination by discriminating.
Chronic negro fatigue.
They don’t want equal rights
They want equal outcomes.
There is no one in the United States more racist than Blacks.
No one.
Where is it written that whites are to be racial patsies? At white point did whites get on their hands and knees and offer to appease no matter how egregious or outrages it is. That whites are fair game and the rules are that race can be used against you but whites can’t use race as a defense.
It is a one way street.

IMO, they DON’T want equal outcomes.
They want lower-expectations for a BETTER position...so they can ‘give it to ‘da Man’.
I ain’t heard to *any* willing to be flown back to the ‘old country’ as the U.S. is just too damn ‘racist’ either.
Blacks have more than equal rights.
Time to end their special privileges. Right damn now.
You want to be treated like whites? Start acting like whites.
