Wednesday, July 03, 2013 http://www.rasmussenreports.com 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.)
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.
These figures reflect more pessimism than was found in April when 42% gave race relations positive marks and 39% said race relations were improving. However, the April number reflected all-time highs while the current numbers are more consistent with the general attitudes of recent years.

The survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on July 1-2, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently killed a key portion of the Voting Rights Act as unconstitutional and sent a lawsuit challenging the University of Texas’ use of race as a factor in admissions back to the appellate court level for further review. Most Americans believe affirmative action admissions policies discriminate against whites, as the lawsuit argues, and think it’s better for colleges and universities to accept the most qualified students.
This is consistent with public resistance to all special preferences. Only 30% think it’s fair for colleges and universities to give preferences to children of large donors. Just 38% think it is fair for the children of previous students to have a special advantage in the admissions process.
Following those decisions and a big ruling on same-sex marriage, public approval of the U.S. Supreme Court has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded in more than nine years of polling.
Blacks are slightly more optimistic about the current state of race relations in American than whites and Hispanics are. But 37% of blacks and 38% of Hispanics believe those relations are getting worse, compared to 29% of whites.
Liberals are more confident than conservatives that race relations are getting better.
Forty-five percent (45%) of voters believe the U.S. justice system is fair to most Americans, but just 34% think it is fair to poor Americans. Forty-five percent (45%) consider the justice system fair to black and Hispanic Americans.
Most voters continue to believe the U.S. economy is fair to women, blacks and Hispanics but are now evenly divided when asked if it’s fair to lower-income Americans. However, they still think all four groups are treated better than the middle class.

Those are the Doxie and Caveman types, duh. SMH
Racism has cause and effect. Racism holds power over other people, who aren't in the position to discriminate. This is usually institutionalized, or backed up by laws and "rules" supportive to maintain racist behavior. In order to really understand racism, you must have lived in the shoes of someone being discriminated against.
So that report is stupid.

They should have asked the people they surveyed, who holds power to discriminate.

I agree with the post above. "Racism" in this poll isn't actually described in a way that makes clear to the voter what academics and people of color are describing as an institutionalized phenomenon. This is just another reflection of Rasmussen's standing criticisms of not wording polls in a way that properly/accurately conveys an event to get a conservative lean on results. As much as I hate wikipedia I'm just going to dump it here and you guys can review the sources as I'm pretty short on time:
quote:Time magazine has described Rasmussen Reports as a "conservative-leaning polling group."[83] The Washington Post called Rasmussen a "polarizing pollster."[84] John Zogby said that Scott Rasmussen has a "conservative constituency."[85] The Center for Public Integrity listed "Scott Rasmussen Inc" as a paid consultant for the 2004 George W. Bush campaign.[86] The Washington Post reported that the 2004 Bush re-election campaign had used a feature on the Rasmussen Reports website that allowed customers to program their own polls, and that Rasmussen asserted that he had not written any of the questions nor assisted Republicans.[65]
Rasmussen has received criticism over the wording in its polls.[87][88] Asking a polling question with different wording can affect the results of the poll;[89] the commentators in question allege that the questions Rasmussen ask in polls are skewed in order to favor a specific response. For instance, when Rasmussen polled whether Republican voters thought Rush Limbaugh was the leader of their party, the specific question they asked was: "Agree or Disagree: 'Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party — he says jump and they say how high.'"
quote:
After the 2010 midterm elections, Silver concluded that Rasmussen's polls were the least accurate of the major pollsters in 2010, having an average error of 5.8 points and a pro-Republican bias of 3.9 points according to Silver's model.[64] He singled out as an example the Hawaii Senate race, in which Rasmussen, in a poll completed three weeks before the election, showed incumbent Daniel Inouye only 13 points ahead, whereas in actuality he won by a 53% margin[79] – a difference of 40 points from Rasmussen's poll, or "the largest error ever recorded in a general election in FiveThirtyEight’s database, which includes all polls conducted since 1998."

^I'm sure, if they surveyed these people, asking them whether they think Martin Luther King was racist, they would say yeah he was.

Racists are deflecting by trying to characterize "racism" in it's evolved form as mere negative attitudes to certain racial groups. It's like how they try to define slavery in a way that limits conceptualization of that activity to before the civil war. That way they can avoid discussing sharecropping, convict leasing and mass incarceration. By trying to focus on a specific definition that they can say encompasses everyone, they can divert from the reality that everyone doesn't (particularly through inherited ill gotten gains and methodology) have at their disposal a widespread system to express their hate.

Very well, someone recently mentioned that the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade enriched western nations to such extend, it financed the industrial revolution.
And the author in the following, explains that the actual wealth which made America the world power it is now, was due to the process after the "abolishment" of slavery. Or official slavery.
quote:
"Slavery by Another Name is a 90-minute documentary that challenges one of Americans’ most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery in this country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. The film tells how even as chattel slavery came to an end in the South in 1865, thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality. It was a system in which men, often guilty of no crime at all, were arrested, compelled to work without pay, repeatedly bought and sold, and coerced to do the bidding of masters. Tolerated by both the North and South, forced labor lasted well into the 20th century.
For most Americans this is entirely new history. Slavery by Another Name gives voice to the largely forgotten victims and perpetrators of forced labor and features their descendants living today."

^What is described as Black racism is really projection by Albinos, to account for two things:
Their "perceived" loss of White privilege.
And their fear of Black vengeance, should Blacks regain true Power - as opposed to Obama's Presidency.

OMFG, that definition again. Wheun are you Black supremacists gonna stop using that definition as a cop out. Everyone knows you only use it to say only Whites can be racist & to be able to be as hateful & bigoted as you want to be and get around being called racist. Basically saying Whites can be racist towards everyone but nobody can be racist towards Whites no matter what.
Mike, thanks for letting be known what I already knew. Blacks don't want equality,you simply want Blacks on the very top,followed by other POC,with Whites on the very bottom. You & your Anti-White ilk (Troll Patrol,Oshun,,Kdolo,MOM,Clyde,Xy-YT-hater,Zarahan,Mena7,Fencer,Snakepit)want to see all Whites jobless,penniless,homeless.You want to see White children wearing rags,filthy,sick,starving, and on the street corner begging for a bite to eat.

Doxie dear - Please show me the historical instances where Blacks instituted racism against Albinos or Mongols.
OR

THEY MANY NOT LIKE EACH OTHER BUT THEY DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY WITH IT.
Only the frightened degenerate Albino, thinks that his inherent weakness justifies his degeneracy towards other humans in the name of "self protection".

Now, Dox. Explain, how does racism effect an individual or a group of people as a whole.

Actually Mongoloid worship whites and kiss their asses; if you were a black person with a college degree and past experience seeking a job in an Asian country, there is a higher likely chance that an albino without a college degree and experience is more likely to get an important job than the black guy.
This is how it works in Asiatic mongoloid countries; they even pay Whites/Albino's just to stay around or stand around in places just because they are white (really!), and nothing else!
Mongoloids are super racist, much more so than European albino's today. If you don't believe me then go visit their countries or try to "live" in them today; you will pretty much get the "inferior" treatment, and be treated as animals. And they pretty much worship albino's like no other; they have rules/unspoken accepted ideas that dark skinned people are inferior and shouldn't be seen as proper people in society and routinely discriminate against them.

Mindovermatter - You really need to learn how to think in historical, as well as the larger context. Not to mention that you seem to believe that you see things that other people don't - It's really becoming annoying.
Most people understand that the Albino has used his military power to control and corrupt the mulatto races. Some fought it, some, like the Japanese, succumbed to it. But before the Japanese gave in to the darkside, they were just people.
There are several painted scrolls on this page, see if you can understand what they mean, race wise.
Actually Mongoloid worship whites and kiss their asses.
It might interest you to know that Mongol disgust for the Dravidian Albino is why they wound up in Europe in the first place.
After the Huns had chased the Germanic and Slavic tribes out of Asia, at the turn of the "Modern Era":
The End of Europe's Middle Ages Origins of the Ottoman Empire
Pressured out of their homes in the Asian steppes by the Mongols, the Turkish tribes converted to Islam during the eighth and ninth centuries. By the tenth century, one of the Turkish tribes, the seljuk , had become a significant power in the Islamic world and had adopted a settled life that included Islamic orthodoxy, a central administration, and taxation. However, many other Turkish groups remained nomadic and, pursuing the gazi tradition, sought to conquer land for Islam and to acquire war booty for themselves. This led them into conflict with the Seljuk Turks, and to pacify the nomadic tribes, the Seljuks directed them to the eastern domain of the Byzantine Empire, Anatolia. The tribe known as the Ottomans arose from one of the smaller emirates established in northwestern Anatolia after 1071. The dynasty was named for Osman (1259-1326), who began to expand his kingdom into the Byzantine Empire in Asia Minor, moving his capital to Bursa in 1326.
The above passage is from the University of Calgary's tutorial "The End of Europe's Middle Ages" which is designed to assist those students engaged in Renaissance, Reformation and Early Modern studies who lack a background in medieval European history. Intended to provide a brief overview of the conditions at the end of Europe's Middle Ages, the tutorial is presented in a series of chapters that summarize the economic, political, religious and intellectual environment of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The main objective of the tutorial is to furnish a baseline against which the vast changes of the following centuries may be measured. In the main, the tutorial is rudimentary, but the part on the Turks is quite good.Posts: 22721 | Registered: Oct 2005

Look, I have lived in Asia and Asian countries for a while, and during my teenage years, at least 6-7 years. I have been to Asian countries like Singapore, and China and Japan and various South Asian countries; so I really do know what I am talking about.
There are posts from American expats saying the exact same things that I wrote above. Mongoloids worship whites like no other, they hire whites to be english teachers in their schools in their countries, even if they don't have teaching experience whatsover or if they don't have a formal degree. JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE!
Korean/Chinese parents, in their respective countries, even PAY western/european white/albino guys/girls just to play basketball or ball games with their children IN PUBLIC, so that MONGOLOIDS IN THEIR COUNTRIES WILL ADMIRE THEIR CHILDREN MORE THEN OTHER MONGOLOID CHILDREN WHO DON'T DO THIS; AND GIVE THEM SOCIAL STATUS JUST BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN ARE BEING SEEN PLAYING BALL WITH WESTERN ALBINO PEOPLE! It apparently "boosts" their reputation and "face", to be seen "with white western people".
This stuff happens all the time in Mongoloid countries, and you can bet your ass they do the exact opposite with dark skinned/black people and give them the "inferior treatment". Most Mongoloid countries are pretty much like 1950-1960's America when it comes to viewing dark skinned or black people, and that's NOT going to change anytime soon.
And they will pick a White guy to teach them stuff in their schools, without an actual degree over a Black guy with an actual degree or teaching experience. Again if you don't believe me, google this stuff online.
Mongoloids would rather have a white person mix and marry their children then a black guy, EVEN IF THEY HATE WHITES OR THEIR COUNTRY HAS A HISTORY OF WARRING WITH ALBINO'S! Great example of this is Korea.
This type of racism/albino worship is prevalent and rampant throughout Asia, EVEN IN MONGOLOID COUNTRIES THAT WERE NOT COLONIZED BY EUROPEAN ALBINO'S!
I don't know if this is some sort of a racial stockholm syndrome or not, but what I am saying above is actually 100% right because it's based on experience.
And Vice even did a documentary on this type of phenomenon in China:
Yes I do view things in the larger historical context and yes I do know what I am talking about. There is this bizarre fetish-ization that goes on with European albino's in Mongoloid countries that cannot be explained simply by colonialism and transcends the brutality the albino's have showed towards them in the past.
Must be because various numbers of them are actually the mulatto's of albino Central Asians, who knows! But the stuff I am talking is ACTUALLY REAL!
And yes I do see things that others don't see, and I have proved that to myself already.
Yes BOTH Atilla the Hun and Genghis Khan HAD WHITE ALBINO AUXILLARY TROOPS AND DIVISIONS! Various writers wrote that Genghis Khan had blonde white bodyguards and troops within his army and the Alans/Avars/Bulgars etc served and helped the Huns and the Mongols during their campaigns.
There are stories of European christian missionaries visiting the Mongol empire, and being shocked at finding all sorts of European albino people in Central Asia and in China, and then trying to convert the white blonde albino troops and mercs there to European christanity.
If you don't believe me, again google all this stuff up!

And you are missing my point, the problem is that they don't worship whites because of past colonialism and current geo-politics. It can't simply be that.
They worship and kiss up to whites on a instinctual level, like it's inherent thing in them sometimes. Even if the albino is a nobody from a majority albino country. Whereas even a well-off and respectable black guy is less then even a broke Western nobody albino to the Mongoloids.
A lot of you do not have enough experience in dealing with mongoloids or have not been to Mongoloid countries, so you don't understand how these people are. The ones that come to America are the "well-behaved ones" and even people here have had bad experiences with them.
Trust me because I am speaking out of experience...

Listen there's already a word called "prejudice" or "racial prejudiced" that essentially has all the negative connotations with having negative attitudes towards a race. Modern racism as a organized form of activity however differs in the fact that certain races through ill gotten gains that were able to greatly institutionalize their hateful, negative attitude. You can sit there and say "I don't want you using a term like racism" but trying to strip us of a word that describes what racist white folks and their institutions are doing doesn't mean you succeeded in erasing the act itself. Please don't waste no ones time here and lie saying race based hatred isn't institutionalized now. Not gonna get too far wit that LOL Posts: 2508 | From: . | Registered: Nov 2011
