The video covers a good bit of what the study brought to light...
You can Google Dr. Ryan Lecount to get more info on him/his studies.
- Fact: Racial resentment in the county spiked when Obama became President
- Many whites felt/feel like "African Americans shouldn't have special favors"
- That is known as "White minority resentment", a belief that somehow blacks are getting all kinds of stuff
- Racialization of politics started being studied/recorded in 1986
- Racial resentment plays an increasing role in how white people identify themselves politically
- "Working class anxiety" that many in the media attributed to one of the main factors Trump one, isn't talking about black people
- The "working class" is identified as white, w/o outright saying so
- Since 1973, the wages of blacks went up 10% vs the wages of white men going up 3%
- Fact: The majority of working class people in the US are people of color
- A 2009 Pew Study asked the question "Are you optimistic about the future for your children?" Every racial group was excited except whites
- They asked the same question in 2016, they got the same results
- Fact: Blacks have the lowest wages and lowest wealth, yet were the most optimistic
- Fact: Whites have the highest wages and highest wealth, yet were the least optimistic
- Bottom line: Society has been characterized by white supremacy for most of the history of this country, so when blacks are experiencing more equality, many whites feel they're experiencing oppression.
