AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks.

FILE - In this Oct. 25, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks to supporters at a campaign event at Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport, in Cleveland Ohio. 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 Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some Americans' more favorable views of blacks.

<snip>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.

<snip>The poll finds that racial prejudice is not limited to one group of partisans. Although Republicans were more likely than Democrats to express racial prejudice in the questions measuring explicit racism (79 percent among Republicans compared with 32 percent among Democrats), the implicit test found little difference between the two parties. That test showed a majority of both Democrats and Republicans held anti-black feelings (55 percent of Democrats and 64 percent of Republicans), as did about half of political independents (49 percent).

Now for my opinion:
You 32% of the assholes that call yourselves Democrats that are racists ...go fuck yourselves. I can't wait for you all to die off. You should know better. You should know what America is about. You should know what the Bill of Rights is all about. Obviously 32% of you are just as much of an asshole as the 79% of repukes who are also racists. WTF Don't you know this country has always been a mixing pot of races. So are you against that? If so then you are at the core anti-American. It's no wonder you attack liberals who stand for womens rights and equal rights. When someone attacks liberals I will now call them racists and or misogynists. I don't know how you could be against womens rights and not be a racist. The two seem to go together. I hope you are with me on this when I say that it's long past the time that we have an national open discussion about race in this country. IMO it's time to declare the KKK a terrorist group and throw them all in prison. It's time to do what we can to make any racist totally uncomfortable and unwelcome in our communities and in this country. Normally I would not say this because it would be too much like the ignorant racist assholes but if you are a racist ...you should GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS COUNTRY! Even if I had no reason to vote for Obama I would just to piss off you asshole racists. You fucking make me sick. If Obama loses this election it will be because of these un-American, un-Democratic, anti-equal rights racist assholes. I might understand somewhat why 79% of repukes are racists ...they are morans ...and I almost pity them ....NOT! You asshole repukes who make the claim to be so fucking patriotic are empty shells of human waste and are about as unpatriotic and it gets ...but then you are too stupid to know that. Last thing ...you 32% racist Democrats ...are you going to vote for Obama? If not then get the fuck out of my party. I'd rather be in a minority than to stand with the likes of you. Your an embarrassment to the dignity, intellect and self respect of Democrats. The repukes have an excuse because they are pathetic humans but you Democrats have no excuse. You of all Americans should know better.
