*Gee Go figure. The Schmuck in Chief has set back race relations 40 years.
White people are tired of being called racist and tired of the double
standard. Bottom line I think most people who have spent the last 40 years
trying to make it a truly post racial society are tired of getting kicked
in the teeth. So as a consequence . They all *

Americans consider blacks more likely to be racist than whites and
Hispanics in this country.
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. (To see survey question wording, click
here<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/econ_survey_questions/july_2013/questions_racism_july_1_2_2013>
.)
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. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white Americans as racist, and
21% say the same about black Americans.
>From a partisan perspective, 49% of Republicans see most black Americans as
racist, along with 36% of unaffiliated adults and 29% of Democrats.
Among black Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider
most whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way.
Among white adults, 10% think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe
most blacks are racist, and 17% say most Hispanics are racist.
Overall, just 30% of all Americans now rate race relations in the United
States as good or excellent. Fourteen percent (14%) describe them as poor.
Twenty-nine percent (29%) think race relations are getting better, while
32% believe they are getting worse. Thirty-five percent (35%) feel they are
staying about the same.
These figures reflect more pessimism than was found in
April<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/general_lifestyle/april_2013/42_rate_race_relations_in_u_s_as_good_or_excellent>
when
42% gave race relations positive marks and 39% said race relations were
improving. However, the April number reflected all-time highs while the
current numbers are more consistent with the general attitudes of recent
years.

The survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on July 1-2, 2013 by Rasmussen
Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95%
level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is
conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC<http://www.pulseopinionresearch.com/>.
See
methodology<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/about_us/methodology>
.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently killed a key portion of the Voting Rights
Act as unconstitutional and sent a lawsuit challenging the University of
Texas’ use of race as a factor in admissions back to the appellate court
level for further review. Most Americans believe affirmative action
admissions policies discriminate against
whites<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/education/25_favor_affirmative_action_programs_for_college_admissions>,
as the lawsuit argues, and think it’s better for colleges and universities
to accept the most qualified students.
This is consistent with public resistance to all special preferences. Only
30% think it’s fair for colleges and universities to give preferences to
children of large donors. Just 38% think it is fair for the children of
previous students to have a special
advantage<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/education/30_think_it_s_fair_for_colleges_to_give_admissions_preference_to_donors_children>
in
the admissions process.
Following those decisions and a big ruling on same-sex marriage, public
approval of the U.S. Supreme Court has fallen to the lowest level ever
recorded in more than nine years of
polling<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/supreme_court_update>
.
Blacks are slightly more optimistic about the current state of race
relations in American than whites and Hispanics are. But 37% of blacks and
38% of Hispanics believe those relations are getting worse, compared to 29%
of whites.
Liberals are more confident than conservatives that race relations are
getting better.
Forty-five percent (45%) of voters believe the U.S. justice system is fair
to most Americans, but just 34% think it is fair to poor Americans. Forty-five
percent (45%) consider the justice system fair to black and Hispanic
Americans<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/june_2013/34_view_justice_system_as_fair_to_poor_americans>
.
Most voters continue to believe the U.S. economy is fair to women, blacks
and Hispanics but are now evenly divided when asked if it’s fair to
lower-income
Americans<http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/business/general_business/march_2013/62_think_u_s_economy_fair_to_blacks_hispanics>.
However, they still think all four groups are treated better than the
middle class.
