New Gallup poll shows 64% believe racism is widespread in U.S.

[Superbadbrutha]

Polls consistently show that most Americans believe that over 20% of our population is LGBT. The actual number is around 3.5%.

What Americans believe and what is true can be two different things.

Well in this case those numbers I embers are probably low.

What is the one thing that a real racist would hate? Interracial marriage. Since 94% of the American public approves of
interracial marriage, I would say this thread is a big nothing burger.

Just one example, in Panama 2 soldiers go AWOL. White soldier gets a Company grade Article 15, black soldier gets a Field grade Article 15. Black soldier was AWOL for 3 days, white soldier was AWOL for over a week.

Like most black folks I could go on for days, but you don't relate because you are not subjected to racism as we are.

And you know this was based solely on skin color how?

Go on. I don’t believe you are subjected to racism but rather see things only as a victim.

 

[PeterPilot]

Racism is widespread, but if you asked people "Are you racist?" the number of people who would answer "yes" would be about 5%. If that.

Racism never happens in the first person. It's always "that guy over there" who's the racist.

And nowhere in the Gallup poll is racism defined, or in the OP.

Being racially aware is NOT racism.

Gallup probably polled majority blacks.

I don't know about that. The dem party has indocrinated most all democrats to believe this.

Well, you traded them in for 3-piece suits, Judges robes, etc. The clothes have changed, but the mindset of the sheet wearers remains the same.

And this must be true because you say so.

Your ESP might need some calibrating.

You don’t know jack shit about the operation of other people’s minds where your conclusions are always based on zero evidence.

Zero evidence? I have over 400yrs of evidence.

No. You don’t.

If you have insight gained from history to conclude that a member of the KKK is a racist, that’s not even a contested conclusion. One thing on this topic about which we can agree.

Ditto if history has advised you that Skinheads and neo-Nazis are racist. Again, agree.

But here’s the rub: when someone says, in such obvious ways, that they are racist, it’s ok to take them at their word since history clearly demonstrates that KKK, Skinheads and neo-Nazis are unquestionably racist people.

However, when someone speaks about a political preference and doesn’t approve of those racist groups or racism, many still get labeled as “racists” on that fallacious basis. IOW, the term “racist” get misapplied by you (and by folks like IQ2) for nasty rhetorical purposes — whereas the people whom you accuse of racism may not harbor a racist belief anywhere in their hearts minds, souls, thinking or philosophy.

Hey. Look at you. An utterly non-responsive reply to all the points you have no ability or willingness to address.

By the way, your childish response also lacks factual support. You know: from you, just more of your SSDD.

New Gallup poll shows 64% believe racism is widespread in U.S.​

64% of race-baiting losers polled, that is.
