Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country.


Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. (To see survey question wording, click here (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/econ_survey_questions/july_2013/questions_racism_july_1_2_2013).)


There is a huge ideological difference on this topic. Among conservative Americans, 49% consider most blacks racist, and only 12% see most whites that way. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white Americans as racist, and 21% say the same about black Americans.


From a partisan perspective, 49% of Republicans see most black Americans as racist, along with 36% of unaffiliated adults and 29% of Democrats.


Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.


Among white adults, 10% think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe most blacks are racist, and 17% say most Hispanics are racist.


Overall, just 30% of all Americans now rate race relations in the United States as good or excellent. Fourteen percent (14%) describe them as poor. Twenty-nine percent (29%)

think race relations are getting better, while 32% believe they are getting worse. Thirty-five percent (35%) feel they are staying about the same.

Republicans think half of all blacks are racist? Shocking!

Stupid poll. Don't see why it's even posted here. Too many race-baiting threads on RPF.

Perceptions, created by media and propaganda, measured by political operatives, via loaded and ambiguous questions, and regurgitated as more collectivist propaganda. This will be very useful. :rolleyes:

Doesn't matter. Individuals are individuals. Walter Williams could school all the ones who are racist.

I definitely think there are some black people who think they are entitled because of ancient history, but I condemn those people for their idiocy, not for being black. Incidentally, there are white people who agree with them, and they are also stupid.

Is it bad that I don't even care that much if people are racist?

Granted, its not acceptable, but when it comes to politics there are far worse positions to hold.

When people say Ron Paul is a racist, I shake my head because its so obviously false. But if he were, I really wouldn't care that much either. I'd lose some respect for him, but I'd much rather have a racist who nonetheless supported laws that did not reflect that racism than a guy who says he's not racist and yet acts like one in office by bombing all kinds of foreign people, profiling in clearly evil ways (For instance, profiling to "Combat illegal guns" which is a sketchy tactic for a goal that is immoral in and of itself), fighting a drug war that clearly disproportionately affects minorities, exc.

I don't care if people want to be racist. Just treat me with respect and I'll treat you with respect.

I actually thought it was interesting look from the "perception" point of view.

Nah, I don't really care either. It's just thoughts/opinions. Not very pleasant, but I can't change what people do with their minds, so I don't care.

I distinctly recall mispelling rasmussen as rassmussen and then editing. Maybe I just deleted? *shrug*

And in other news, water is wet. I personally know African-Americans who are racist among their own people in that there are predominant subclasses that incite derision and outright ridicule. If you're too light, you're an Uncle Tom. If you're Nigerian black, you get the N treatment.

Can white people from Africa also be called "African-Americans"?

This has nothing to do with the very inflammatory op but did you mean to say Sudanese black instead of Nigerian black? I don't think there anything like Nigerian black cos they have similar complexion as other blacks living in other West African countries. On the other hand there is something like Sudanese black aka nubian black

I think everyone is racist, blacks are most likely to talk about it publicly and act on their thoughts.

That's probably accurate. I spent about half my childhood in the northeast w/ less than 1% black population (though still multicultural - if I recall correctly the white population was 30 to 40 percent Italian). So I didn't really have an opinion on blacks when I moved to the southeast for the second half of my childhood. I did notice blacks had no reservations about saying things like "little white boy" and that if there was a fight between a black and non-black and the non-black was winning, a whole damn mob of random blacks would join in and finish off the non-black. So I certainly perceived an "us against them" mentality. The whites' racism (I'm talking from teenage years male's perspective here) against other races might amount to calling others ******s or spics behind their backs but that was about it and it wasn't the majority of whites who would say these things (IMO the majority weren't pro or anti-black, just indifferent).

Race relations seemed somewhat better in my few years in the northwest but I couldn't say for sure.

Let's see. In a country where a majority of the people are white they find they have an opinion that the minority are the most racist. And I should be surprised by this because.....? Everybody always finds fault in the other person or group. Stupid poll.

Those women are beautiful. Thanks for posting. The most redeeming thing in this otherwise worthless thread. And for the record, I'm not racist because I like to look at lovely women of all races. (Didn't say I wasn't a sexist pig. :p)
