AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks
WASHINGTON (AP) - Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.
Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some Americans’ more favorable views of blacks.
Racial prejudice has increased slightly since 2008 whether those feelings were measured using questions that explicitly asked respondents about racist attitudes, or through an experimental test that measured implicit views toward race without asking questions about that topic directly.
In all, 51 percent of Americans now express explicit anti-black attitudes, compared with 48 percent in a similar 2008 survey. When measured by an implicit racial attitudes test, the number of Americans with anti-black sentiments jumped to 56 percent, up from 49 percent during the last presidential election. In both tests, the share of Americans expressing pro-black attitudes fell.

AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks
I may anger some of my readers with this post and MY opinions expressed, but that’s the chance you take when you tell the truth and don’t engage in political correctness.
Barack Hussein Obama was supposed to be the *post racial* president, he was supposed to unite this nation like no one had before, and as is typical of Obama, he was an utter and complete FAILURE.
If there is a nationwide prejudice against Blacks, this video, along with the actions and words of the person in the video, reveals WHY there is a prejudice against Blacks.
The person seen in the above video does a severe disservice to ALL Black people in this nation. The woman seen above is NOT a proud Black person; she is a welfare slug and a disgrace to humanity in general and to ALL decent Black people everywhere.
Now let me take it one step further; I would despise ANY person like that seen in the above video, regardless of their skin color or racial make-up.
There are many things in the human makeup that surveys such as these don’t take into consideration, and ignorance is the primary consideration that gets skipped over. ANY person that HATES simply because of skin color is a pathetic individual, be they Black, White or any color in-between, yet the fact remains; there are Black people in this nation that are prejudiced against White people, simply because they are White.
The election of Barack Hussein Obama didn’t bring about a magical *FIX* on any of this, if anything, it made race relations worse, and I mean nearly 1960’s race relations worse in many cases.
Do I have a solution? No, I don’t, but neither does anyone else, and until ALL hatred is gone there will always be distrust and prejudice, in THIS nation, in ALL nations and in ALL races.
Now, you can either accept this post as honest opinion or you can call ME a racist and leave, never to come back. Either way, it’s YOUR call.
Obama himself, along with the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, have done the most to fuel racial tensions in the country.
The failure of Obama’s Justice Dept to prosecute Black Panthers for voter intimidation and his personal comments concerning Trayvon Martin and Police Sgt James Crowley of Cambridge were gasoline on the fire How about Obama telling Hispanic audiences that Republicans were their enemy and should be punished.
Have you ever heard of a president ever telling Americans that a majority of their fellow citizens were the enemy and should be punished?
It is a sad fact, Obama is the main reason race relations are at an all time low. The main reason is because both Obama and his wife are both prejudice against WHITES. Just watch their actions.
Not until Obama is gone from public view will we have a chance to improve race relations.
Well Sir, I think you’re wrong, it’s a gonna get a ton worse, ya see, once that Kenyan son of a bitch is beat, and hopefully in prison, all a his ghetto rat asshole buddies is a gonna go to burnin shit and trying to be all badass and shit.
I got my old 12ga at the ready though. I’m Bubba and I approve of a 12ga and the message it sends!
Well Bubba, I believe it will improve Bubba, not to say it won’t get worse before it improves, but I do believe that there are more good decent Americans than bad, and that includes all races, the day people quit classifying people by the color of their skin and simply call people Americans will be the day of liberation from the hate filled rhetoric of race baiters.
Well Fred, I gotta tell ya, in my bestest Forrest Gump voice: Life is like a jar of jelly beans … Nobody likes the black ones.
OK mah friend, I’ll be back again soon, if ya let me. 😈
I love the Black ones. Hate the yellow ones. Ohhhhhhhhh I’m a racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😆
Prejudiced no, tired yes. Tired of blacks hollering racism every time someone disagrees with them. Tired of blacks who think I am racist because I don’t want to pay their bills. I am tired of blacks who keep their hand out for something free instead of a helping hand up. I am tired of blacks who think it is racist when a white kills a black but is also racist for us to bring up the fact that blacks kill a lot more of us whites. I am tired of welfare queens who say they cannot work because the have kids to care for but I am supposed to take care of mine while I work an pay her to stay home. I am tired of people who make bad choices in life and blame it on others. I am tired of the government taking 25% of everything I work for and giving it to someone who is to lazy to work. Prejudiced no, just damn tired.
Could not agree more John! Magnificent analogy!
The enemies of this nation, IMHO, are muslims, Marxists and anyone who is in the tank for Obama. I also perceive these people to be my enemies. If any in those groups happen to be black; so be it. Will say that race relations have been set back 60 plus years by Obama. Again IMHO this was planned as part of Obama’s attempt to bring down this nation. Vote the traitor out on Nov 6.
Most Black people I know are hardworking, God fearing men and women. The idea of welfare, illegitimate birth, drugs, the gangster life, etc… are abhorrent to them. The idea that if you don’t vote for Obama you are a racist comes from WHITE LIBERALS and not from the Black community. In fact my Black friends are voting for Romney. Something about Benghazi, Abortion, and Taxes. And not in that order.
Same here where I am. Older ones. They know pains paid and gains made. Yes we be back to ’60’s. Obama no post racial president…Alinsky menu only calls for turmoil and that’s why. None of blacks I know, and that’s lots more than most posters here, said they vote for Romney, but said they will not vote. So OK. Good. They know that nothing’s changed and not better off. But understand their thoughts…first Black president. That’s my pride…vote out UN, Un-American, President.
Blacks vote black.
Credentials, education, past results mean absolutely nothing if the candidate is white!!
Because blacks vote black.
The only way to have a serene peace, with no black problems is to remove ALL blacks from this country.
Let blacks have their own country. Pick one.
Move all blacks back to their original homeland.
If you don’t know which black country you belong to, the GOVT will select one for you.
But if you are black, you are going!
There will be no options to stay.
The whites have had enough of this black culture, and how it ruins every city the blacks live in. Every one.
Blacks and whites have tried since the “emancipation day ruling” to live together and there IS NOT one town or city in the USA where it has been successful.
You can name a dozen or more cities that have been destroyed by blacks, like Detroit, Atlanta, etc.
So, it is time to now start the organization, the politics, the structures to actually do this.
Blacks actually NEED there own country where thay can do what they want to do.
The blacks will have to support themselves through their own work, build an industry,
farm and produce food, Start their own currency, etc.
So,,,,what do others think about this?
Yet the ap does not let us know how the pollsters arrived at their conclusion. Where is the survey. Just saying. What were the questions. Maybe they asked what did you think about the obamaphone.
Race relations have deteriorated precisely BECAUSE of Obama!
He was in office only a short time before he blamed a white policeman for arresting a black professor. Obama case this blame and, at the same time, admitted that he didn’t know the facts of the case.
For decades, several element have conspired to make us all feel white guilt. You know what? Feelings of white guilt do not erase prejudice! The Left cannot recognize the fact that nobody can force anyone else to give up prejudice — racial or otherwise.
White guilt…
That one makes me ROLL with laughter… What am I supposed to be guilty of?
I have never beat a Black person that wasn’t deserving and resisting arrest, I have NEVER denied a Black person ANY opportunity to better themselves, I have never raped or mistreated ANY Black women and I have NEVER owned slaves of ANY flavor…
These *white guilt* people are simply bleeding heart libbers that need to hug a whale or save a tree… Or something..
There is no White guilt. Never existed. It was invented by liberals to push welfare programs on the people.
Now chocolate guilt is another thing.
AMEN Brother,,,,
This comes as a result of nothing more than a culmination of racial politics that people are slowly peeling away from the core.
The core of: true racial prejudice is diminishing in the Caucasoid communities — because of laws, training, education — while at the same time, experience is indicating some serious contrarian realities.
And these conflicts are things that many people are less and less willing to suffer. Or to tolerate. The talking points of rampant racism against blacks plays poorly when statistics clearly indicate that blacks are frequently their own worst enemy. The perceived disregard for education, for “getting ahead,” for hard work is, more and more, being displayed for what it is.
People are beginning to discern that, in truth, the black emperor may in fact have no clothes. Despite squawkish claims by Poverty and Racial Pimps such as Sharpton, Jackson and even Barack Hussein Obama.
Yes, perhaps these idiots don’t speak for a percentile of blacks. Yet they speak with sufficient authority that many people still pay attention.
And the unemployed black dude still stands in front of his house, two doors down from my wife’s house in Ghetto Centrale, slinging dope in hopes of keeping his Hoodie Life going, with his fat white chick fuckmate.
I see this shit every damned day.
I guess reality makes me a racist. Or, as I prefer: a REALIST.

” In fact my Black friends are voting for Romney. Something about Benghazi, Abortion, and Taxes. And not in that order.”
Indeed.
The ones that I know or other folks know are NOT voting for Obama, or choom the magic negro as some have called Obama. He has set race relations back to the 1950’s.
The whites who suffer from White man’s Burden guilt are brainwashed libtards for the most part. Spewed out from our colleges and universities where the three toxic stews are brewed and dispensed, Political Correctness, Excessive diversity and Multiculturalism gone crazy. They live on the reverse plantation of guilt and are so consumed by guilt they will never be able to do enough to help the poor black folk.
They do not need out help. They just need opportunity and fairness, like ALL of us do. No special privileges due to skin color or being a former slave family. There are winners and losers in life and skin color does not matter here.
I am a reality racist I suppose and that is just the way I am.
Great post, Fred!
I do not care about melanin content in the skin, I care about the communism expressed in the actions.
MMMPOS doesn’t need impeachment, it needs to be arrested, tried to the fullest extent of the law, and punished appropriately.
