Rasmussen’s Bizarre Poll About Racism | TPMDC
The right-leaning polling firm Rasmussen Reports dove into America’s views of race on Wednesday with a bizarre survey that concluded most of the nation thinks blacks are more likely to be racist than whites.
Going deeper into the poll’s crosstabs shows that 49 percent of Republicans believe “most black Americans (are) racist,” roughly the same percentage of Democrats (47 percent) who said the opposite. A third of Republicans said most black Americans are not racist, while only 11 percent of the GOP said that most white people are racist. Fifty-eight percent of respondents identified as “very conservative” said most blacks are racist, while a plurality of 44 percent “somewhat conservative” respondents said the same.

A study conducted by Fordham University rated Rasmussen as one of the least accurate pollsters of the 2012 election cycle.
Do you agree?
Yes
No, Whites are the most racist
No, They are the same

It's a right-wing poll.

It's a poll, I want to see what people think.
That's correct, Rasmussen is a right leaning pollster.
It's a poll, I got the idea from Rasmussen which is a conservative leaning pollster. If you can handle it, just forget it.The biggest element of racism in this thread is Petey making it. Liberals have a tendency to disguise racism by blaming it on conservatives.
Prejudice without power is unimportant. Every single black American could hate white people with a burning passion, but that hatred will never manifest in a way that truly harms white Americans. The inverse is most assuredly not true. That comes from having the majority population, most of the accumulated wealth of the nation, and nearly every single position of power, both private and public.

Tell that to the innocent victims of race based mob attacks by groups of blacks against whites for no reason other than they are white...... there are many well known examples out there but I'll just list one..... The L.A. Riots after the acquittal of the Rodney King officers.Prejudice without power is unimportant.

You don't have to be in positions of power to create harm when you have a violent mob.
How exactly do you untangle that bolded from the oppression and violence visited on blacks by whites in this country, starting four hundred years ago and continuing to today? If there were groups of blacks attacking Asians, I'd say you had a point. But there aren't. "No reason other than they are white" includes all of the benefits that whites have obtained by ordering society for our benefit and trampling on blacks to get there. If you think that just because you never owned any slaves that you exist in a racial vacuum, then you're very very deep in denial. Until being born black doesn't vastly increase the chance to spend one's life in poverty, to be locked up in prison for crimes that whites commit and aren't imprisoned for, or to die younger, then there is no position of race neutrality in this country.
