Is Skin Color more of an Issue than We Acknowledge?

[Crabtownboy]

Actually recent polls show that black people are seen as the most prejudice. Even black people polled agreed. And it is only because folks like you and Al Sharpton keep it alive. Shame on both of you.

Link and proof please .... perhaps you are just spouting your wishes with no proof.

Hey smarty pants maybe you should read the news every once in a while:



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.

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.

Thanks for the link. Why didn't you give it in your first reply? It is an interesting article. Note it say people think ... not a scientific study ... but an interesting article.

Like I said in my post, at least many Americans admit there is still racism. In Europe that is not true. They all say Americans are racist, but refuse to see their own prejudices and racist attitudes.

I do remember as a young fella---the separate restrooms for blacks and whites---the separate water coolers--especially in the county court houses--there would be one for the whites--it was chilled/refrigerated--and one for blacks---non chilled---the problem was---probably about 99.999999999% of the time---the water chiller that chilled the water for the white fountain was not working-----so the water for the whites was just as luke warm as the water for the blacks

Lots of folk are too young to remember those days. Also hotels and motels would not allow Blacks to stay overnight. Restaurants would not serve Black people. Jim Crow laws were really bad. Lynchings went unpunished. Voter laws were designed to keep Blacks from voting. The list could go on and on.

Thank God it is better now.

The point of the poll was to see how people view the issue. Even blacks view blacks as more racist.Does that make it factual? You bet it does.And I often make reference to what is common knowledge by people who keep up with news and current events without posting a link to everything.

I think it plays more of an issue than the average white Christian acknowledges.

There's a lot of talk right now about Trayvon Martin and the political presuure being the reason that the case was even brought to trial.

But in speaking with Black friends, they have asked the question "does the average white person even understand why that type of political pressure has to be used?"

They said it's akin to always seeing Dateline pieces and national coverage for the missing blond haired, blue -eyed white lady. But rarely seeing the same thing if a young black lady goes missing.

The truth is that if there was no "politcal pressure" brough to bear, Zimmerman would have NOT been charged for anything, as former police chief testified!

Just think that real preduduce exists among the "race baiters" among Blacks, just as badly among ignorat white peoples!

I have known for a long time that you consider your own opinion as fact. I did not realize you believe that others opinion is also fact. Hmmmmmm

I am not sure Zaac is correct in his last post. We will never know.
