In reply to the discussion: AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks [View all]ChaoticTrilby
(211 posts)The ones that included a 54%. I suppose that a "huge" majority is exaggeration, but it is a majority and I still consider it to be a good fifty-four percent too many. And then there's the 57% racist towards Hispanics, which might be even more maddening. What really bugs me though, is the supposed increase over the past four years. You'd think this would be getting better.
As for the authenticity of the poll, it may be as you say. I hope it is and I hope that we'll be able to beat back the Republicans in their cheating. However, considering so many of the comments (even from elected politicians!) throughout this election, it is pretty clear that racism is still rampant and especially accepted by the rightwing. I'm just hoping that this will change.
