It is unlikely that Obama's literary agent got the information from anybody other than his client, so Obama would be directly responsible for folks thinking he was born in Kenya.

I would suggest we should distinguish between people who are consciously racist (i.e. those who have conscious racist beliefs) and those who are not consciously racist, but who still harbor implicit bias toward other races. In the former category, I would guess no more than 5%. In the latter, I think the data is a little varied, but it indicates an overwhelming number. Probably 95% or greater.

So? iLOL
Those are nowhere near as significant as what came from his literary agent. And would not imply the information came directly from the client (Obama) as what was published by the agent.

From snopes article.

“You’re undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time,” Goderich wrote. “There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more"

FFS stop.... Birtherism is Ignorance.

Wrong as usual.
Some aspects of birtherism and anti-birtherism is based in ignorance.
His place of birth was just one aspect of birtherism.
And if you were not ignorant of the issue you would know that.
 
Maybe 16% to 20% based on the polls using interracial marriage as a measure. Rather limited evidence but all I could find with a quick search. Maybe a poll on those who agree with the Alt-right, who have racist views, would be another measure. I think to ask a person who is racist directly if he or she or whatever that person’s gender non-gender is, if that person was racist, you’d get the answer NO. Just like if you ask a person that dos not pick up after their dog if they did…YES! That’s why racists are like people who don’t clean up after their dog. Disparate outcome is evidence of racism that can’t necessarily be proven of any individual. Dog doo outcome is evidence of a lack of responsibility that can’t necessarily be proven of any individual.

Anyway, nothing scientific.


16 percent agreeing outright that “marriage should only be allowed between two people of the same race,”

20% of Americans believe interracial marriage is morally wrong

And you believe that?
iLOL
Unlikely they would come up with his place of birth on their own.
Sure they did, just like they came up with all the other people's places of birth in their published directory all on their own.
Surrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I have some ocean front property in New Mexico, would you like to buy it?

Enough that one of Trump's main campaign strategies was appealing to racists to join his base.


Heck, for the midterms Trump based his campaign strategy on his base being largely composed of cowardly racists:

Trump's Midterm Closing Argument: Pure Racial Fear

So the question becomes: Do you think Trump knows his base?

99%. If you don’t believe me ask them who were the first slaves in the US. Anyone who says blacks and not natives as their first answer is a moronic douchebag racist. Even most blacks will say blacks first.

No, it does not disprove my claim.
It makes an unlikely claim that you choose to buy into.

Again.

JFC! What the **** are you not getting here?
The person's claim is not believable. It is not likely they just came up on it on thier own. Just like they would not have come up with those kind of specifics about the other folk's bio's they published. Do you really not understand that?
