More Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics | Rasmussen Reports
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.
Curiously, survey results weren't greatly different when considering just the opinions of black Americans ...
Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.

Why should this be considered throw-away? :confused:

Seems highly relevant. Perhaps that's why Rasmussen conducted the survey.

Thats easy, no offense to your topic of course, forgive me black americans, but bringing up "rascism" in a neutral time is lame and of desperation.

Who in america considers americans to be rascist unless they are hating innocent people?

Rascism is dead and so are those that use it as a crutch.

CNN disagrees. Officials in Sanford, Florida are extremely concerned about possible race riots. See the CNN report here: City prepared for Rodney King-like riots after Zimmerman verdict - BizPac Review
Triplett said the city was a “tinderbox” with all the demonstrations after Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin in February 2012, and his fear is that it may happen again if Zimmerman is ultimately acquitted.

A “Rodney King-type of riot” is a “scenario that’s certainly a possibility,” Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte told Mattingly.

And 49% of Republicans see most blacks as racist. Next up, almost half of Democrats think water is wet...

Believing that somehow a person is trying to hold them down simply because they are white is actually a form of racism.

Accusing people of hating black people simply because they are against Obama's policies can actually be a form of racism directed towards white people.

Considering Republicans also have been constantly targetted by the race card by Democrats (whom use it as a political weapon to shut down debate), it's rather understandable that Republicans have a very cynical view concerning this issue.

Woohoo. 38% of whites have stereotyped blacks as racists. The irony it burns.

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.

Which is why they can't get the black vote to save their lives. Their feelings of most blacks being racist may have something to do with the conservative saying something racist, being called out on it by bus, while fellow conservatives smack their lips and tell us we are playing the race card.

No, it's a fear of discrimination based on the centuries of proven discrimination against blacks.

Considering that's it's their own fault that they are either saying racist things or ignoring their colleagues that's do, I could care less about their cynicism.:wave:

It wouldn't be an effective political weapon if the Republicans acted above reproach.

Racism has many facets. The worst is active discrimination against minorities. The other is the opinion that they should all go back where they came from, which while not active often leads to benign neglect.

The value of such polls is that one knows that they are not alone in their opinion, whatever it might be.

There comes a point when that starts becoming irrational, and we're well past that point.

Actually it's usually liberals deliberately taking what conservatives say completely out of context, sometimes even creatively editting audio tapes (as we saw with MSNBC or NBC's creative editting to make Zimmerman look like a racist), etc. while Democrats can make whatever racist comments they like and get a pass.

The mistake Republicans make is that they don't stand up and call out the left-wing partisan hacks on their inappropriate spamming of the race card.

I live on the West Side of Chicago. There is only one ethnicity that cusses at me when I'm in my car or gives me the finger <edit> or punches me on the train or pushes me into bushes or takes up the side walk when I'm walking toward them or throws things at me. And it's because I'm white. I don't do anything. I just live in one of those neighborhoods where white people should not be by themselves at night for exactly the reasons that I mentioned. People hate me because I am white.

Yes. Racism is alive and doing well.
