Republicans are more likely to say White people experience racism than Black people. That’s not true.
“Research undercuts Republicans’ views.”
“In other news, water is wet. More at 7.”
“Researchers discover liberal bias of reality still intact”
Unpaywalled
Can we get a grammar Nazi for this title?
I’d like to clarify the subtitle, but a paywall is preventing me from figuring out what they meant to say.
Archive.ph is your way to get around that.
The author needs to SEEK HELP!
The summary under the title line makes it more clear:
“Republicans are more likely to say White people experience racism than Black people. That’s not true.”
They’re so stupid.
Nah, it’s intentional deflecting. “We’re the real victims” is a great way to keep from talking about the real victims.
As if reality has ever supported racist tropes in the first place
Article is behind a paywall
Archive.ph gets around that. Here’s the archived link.
Providing a solution is more helpful than pointing out a problem.
Sorry, I didn’t realize it was my responsibility to monitor posts and fix other people’s mistakes. I’ll try better next time 👍
My apologies, I didn’t mean for that to be rude. I just got annoyed by all the posts complaining about a paywall, they add nothing to the discussion.
How can someone add anything to the conversation if they can’t read the article?
They can take two seconds to scroll down to see the inevitable comment that shares an archive link. Or they can look up how to circumvent paywalls themselves using readily available information that’s been around for over a decade.
Sorry for the irrational rant. To me, these paywall complaints are comparable to “old man yells at cloud.”
be me, old man
happily sitting in a field looking at fluffy clouds
young whippersnapper comes by and says “hey old man, there is a particularly compelling cloud to look at down that dirt road”
old man walks there but is stopped by a toll gate before he makes it past the forest
old man walks back disgusted.
sees young whippersnapper and says “I’m sure that cloud was nice, but I didn’t have any money for the toll”
whippersnapper says “shut up old man! just stop everything you were doing and go research alternate free versions of the cloud like everyone has done for the last 10 years! Why are you so stupid??? Now go away don’t speak again unless you have something constructive to say about that specific cloud! YOU’RE NOT ADDING TO THE CONVERSATION!!!”
old man wanders off wondering what the point of any of this was.
Is thoroughly mocked for his lack of initiative
Honestly, that was pretty damn clever. What’s the opposite of blocking, I would be happy to subscribe to your posts.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In short order, though, that concern spurred a broader consideration of the ways in which racial discrimination or disadvantage is embedded in the systems that undergird American society, including law enforcement.
In July, Yahoo News commissioned polling from YouGov looking at the extent to which different racial groups were seen as targets of racism.
This probably seems to most observers like a rather obviously dubious position, one rooted in a demonstrative response to the emergence of a national conversation about race rather than actual racism or discrimination that White people have experienced.
KFF’s pollsters asked a range of Americans of diverse racial backgrounds how often they experienced discrimination or occurrences that they believed were a function of their race.
Across a series of questions, Whites were less likely than other members of racial groups to say that they experienced negative responses from other people, ranging from disparagement to poor service to overt threats.
This strongly suggests that what’s being measured isn’t simply an unjustified perception of racism but, instead, actually discriminatory responses being experienced by people of color.
The original article contains 885 words, the summary contains 178 words. Saved 80%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I think every person of color in the country coming of age should apply to every police academy.
If for no other reason than as a survival strategy, like that black comic who dresses like Carlton from Fresh Prince, he calls it his body armor, says it makes him bulletproof. Poignantly sad and hilarious at the same time.
If everyone did that, imagine how transformative the next decade could be.
I think the conclusions presented here are generally correct, but I suspect that there may be a correlation between self-reported perceptions of racism and self-reported darker skin which is due to some people’s conception of their identity rather than to objective skin color. In other words, people with the same skin color who perceive themselves as experiencing more racism may also perceive themselves as having darker skin. (With that said, I expect that this effect, if it exists, is smaller than the real increased racism against people with darker skin.)
I wonder if there’s a way to know how many of the people claiming that whites experience more racism genuinely believe that versus how many are just saying that because they’ll say whatever is the opposite of what liberals would say.
