Black and White Differences in Views on Race

[suplex3000]

1. Attitudes About Race Relations in General

Since the late 1990s, blacks' optimism that there will be a solution to the country's racial problems has consistently trailed whites' by about 12 percentage points. Most recently, in June 2013, Gallup found 58% of whites versus 48% of blacks believing a solution to black-white relations would eventually be worked out. By contrast, in December 1963 -- at the end of what some describe as "the defining year of the civil rights movement" -- a U.S. poll conducted by NORC found 70% of blacks in the U.S. believing a solution would eventually be worked out, while barely half of whites -- 53% -- agreed. When Gallup repeated this question in the early 1990s, blacks' outlook had dimmed to match whites', with 44% of both groups feeling optimistic. Now, the gap has expanded, primarily because whites have become more positive.

2. Views of Discrimination Against Blacks in U.S. Society

Blacks and whites in the U.S. reject the idea that discrimination is the major reason blacks tend to have worse housing, employment and income situations on average than do whites. But even while this view is in the minority, blacks (37%) are more inclined than whites (15%) to see discrimination as the main factor. Whites and blacks are slightly less likely now than in 1993 to see racial discrimination as the major reason for blacks' objectively worse outcomes in these areas.

Most whites believe that blacks living in the U.S. have the same opportunities as whites for jobs (74%), education (80%) and housing (85%). Blacks, on the other hand, are far more divided, with only slim majorities saying blacks have equal opportunities in housing (56%) and education (55%). Many fewer blacks, 40%, say people of their race have equal job opportunities. The racial gap is largest -- 34 percentage points -- on this question.

Gallup Review Black and White Differences in Views on Race

racism exists in America or not?If yes how strong is it?What do you think bout it?

Very revealing view, especially the time trends, of two separate and unequal cultural views. It's the cost of failure of communication.

Whites were stupid if they thought things would improve (I'm one of em', too!) race relation wise.

I lived thru the riots in the 60's and thought that we, as a nation, would finally leave that crap behind after the Rodney King debacle in the 90's.
No one forsaw a black Prez getting elected who would turn out to be a 'great divider' along with a black AG who had a similar agenda. Then, on top of that, a white socialist mayor gets elected in the largest metro area in the country who throws his whole police dept. under the bus.
Al Sharpton will always be Sharpton, but who woulda thunk that he would end up being an unofficial race relations 'czar', sorta speak, for this administration (+ 82 visits to the whitehouse).
Flash forward to yesterday when a mini-riot breaks out in Berkley, Mo. when a white cop shoots a black guy who was pointing a gun at him (fuck the cop who was defending himself.....thatz how crazy things have become). Bottom line, race relations will continue to get worse as the above mentioned clowns in the clown car that passes for leadership in this country continue to divide; as eventually, a backlash is a comin'.

We won't have to worry about China, N. Korea, Russia, or ISIS, etc..., as the United States of Stupid is going to do itself in on the altar of race.
Dis-united we're gonna fall, bitchez!

It comes down to differences in morality. One has a much higher standard of it and the other simply doesn't care. One would burn down his neighbors store and sack it without a thought is why this group of people are being looked at so badly at this moment.

 

[ScienceRocks]

If there's racism, then it is blacks hating on whites.

Thank you for your answer.
Yup, The United States has more internal enemies than external. Education, racism, poverty, Barry...
BUT
Now the US is fighting against Russia, ISIS and Taliban, has horrible relations with North Korea and Venezuela and...shows 5% economic growth. The US need war because if Empire has no external enemy it will never survive.

Every day I am becoming less and less sympathic to the blacks cause. They're acting foolish and irresponsible. They have allowed communist agitators infiltrate their ranks. We are not living in The 50s and Jim Crowe days. And we're not going to throw our police under the bus just because some don't like the outcome when one of them refuses to obey a lawful order.

You are right. Blacks cause their own misery.

It's not all their fault. Blacks have been left on the plantation. They are poor, and as such, in horrible school districts rife with crime, and no one to give a damn about them.

They are largely uneducated nor taught how to think critically. All they know is to vote "D" cause the GOP is for the white man, cause that 's what they have been feed, hook, line, and sinker.

Now the objective is to move everyone else down to their level.
