This is a long article so I'll give you some crib notes:

• The majority of people do not think we live in a racist society.

• (PS: The majority of people in this society are white.)

• Only half of white America thinks racism against Black people is widespread.

• (PS: half of white America thinks racism against white people is an issue.)

@davidnjoku Or do a majority of white just pretend to think racism against whites is a problem? I grew up white trash, where that skin shade was the only asset most folks had. They totally knew it protected them in a million different ways. They only had to go three blocks south to the all black community that bordered ours to know the difference. They know. They just don't want to give it up, cause then...what do they have? Nothing

@davidnjoku A very good article. But it is about the UK, not the USA. I am 100% certain that the same thing applies in the USA. In fact, I know first hand that it does, and have seen supporting - at least on the continuing reality of racism. But this article is about the UK and contains no opinion polls or studies or even narratives from the USA.

@GarLipow I'm in the UK so it's all very relevant for me.

@davidnjoku Your post kept mentioning "White America" which might mislead some people to think that the article linked was about the United States.

@davidnjoku And so half of white people conveniently ignore science; the ones that are taking over.

You know, to some degree the next four years aren't really going to be that much of a change - same old racist shit, but that doesn't mean it isn't bad. Somehow we need LASTING change. It's frustrating that all the elections are nail-bitingly close, election after election. Something needs to happen to make people realize that it's actually better for everyone if we treat each other as equals.
