Has There Been a Resurgence of Old-Fashioned Racism in the U.S.?

Has There Been a Resurgence of Old-Fashioned Racism in the U.S.?

This comes from a some what academic article in Slate.

Quote:
 
“The election of the country’s first black president had the ironic upshot of opening the door for old-fashioned racism to influence partisan preferences after it was long thought to be a spent force in American politics,” wrote Brown University political scientist Michael Tesler in a 2013 paper titled “The Return of Old Fashioned Racism to White Americans’ Partisan Preferences in the Early Obama Era. For Tesler, “old-fashioned racism” isn’t a rhetorical term; it refers to specific beliefs about the biological and cultural inferiority of black Americans. His work suggests that there are some white Americans who, in his words, have “concerns about the leadership of a president from a racial group whom they consider to be intellectually and socially inferior.”

Other research points to the degree to which Obama’s election seems to have exacerbated racial animus among white voters. In a paper titled “The Impact of Anti-Black Racism on Approval of Barack Obama’s Job Performance and on Voting in the 2012 Presidential Election,” a trio of researchers found a substantial increase in the number of voters with anti-black attitudes, which rose from 47.6 percent in 2008 to 50.9 percent in 2012. “The proportion of people expressing anti-Black attitudes,” they write, “was 32 percent among Democrats, 48 percent among independents, and 79 percent among Republicans.”

Not that I have seen. I have seen a lot of white racism by the Obama administration.

If there is more racism it would be a direct result of Obi dividing the country.

I don't think so much racism, I have noticed an increase in overall discrimination with racism a small contributing factor. Been going on for awhile. Like at least a couple years and growing at an increasing rate.

Incidents like Ferguson and the BLM nonsense doesn't improve relations. Folks think the Blacks are lazy and not up to taking avantage of the Great society. The Blacks like the Muslims, must straightem themselves out. Only they can do it. In the meantime more whites buy guns for concealed carry.

I suspect that, in a rather backward sense, Obama IS responsible for an increase in overt racism in the US.

As long as a black stuck to a second-level or a non-intrusive job, it was easy to say, "Isn't that nice... See? If they work hard and keep their nose clean like that fella, they can do pretty good - almost as good as white folks. It's too bad more won't follow his example..."

And with that almost unconscious feeling of smug, complacent superiority over people who aren't in their face every day anyway, most people could actually feel somewhat charitable to the poor unfortunates, who through no fault of their own, just don't have what it takes to really make it big in America, at least not outside of athletics or entertainment, where they have a "natural" gift.

But then Obama upset the applecart - He's got the top job in the country! And to make things worse, many people think he's pretty GOOD at it!

It's time to go back to certain certainties!

To a time when everyone knew their place!

Let's make America GREAT again!!!
:tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum:


On Edit: Yes, Righties, I know I'm completely wrong - feel free to spew the usual insults and claims that I'm just a stupid Canadian, and a "lib" at that, spouting Anti-American lies, or that I don't really understand you.

Then sit back and reflect... Until you're REALLY angry...

From the link in the OP:
Quote:
 
You can see the maneuvering DiAngelo describes in the persistent belief that Obama is a Muslim—as recently as last fall, 29 percent of Americans held this view, against all evidence. It is a way to mark Obama as “other” in a society where explicit anti-black prejudice is publicly unacceptable. Consistent with this racialized fear and anxiety is the degree to which white Americans now see “reverse discrimination” as a serious problem in national life. For its American Values Survey, the Public Religion Research Institute asks respondents whether “discrimination against whites is a significant problem.” In last year’s survey, 43 percent of Americans—including 60 percent of working-class whites—said discrimination against whites had become as big a problem as discrimination against blacks and other minorities.



You can draw a direct line to the rise of Trump from the racial hysteria of talk radio.

The anxieties DiAngelo describes, and the fears cataloged by the American Values Survey, have real political impact. In a 2014 study, political scientists Maureen Craig and Jennifer Richeson tried to measure “perceived status threat” from a shift in racial demographics, surveying how people responded when informed that California is now home to more blacks, Hispanics, and Asians than non-Hispanic whites. In other words, how do white Americans react to unrelated political questions when exposed to news of a “majority-minority” future? The results were clear. “Making the majority-minority shift in California salient led politically unaffiliated white Americans to lean more toward the Republican Party,” wrote Craig and Richeson. Likewise, “making the changing national racial demographics salient led white Americans (regardless of political party affiliation) to endorse both race-related and relatively race-neutral conservative policy positions more strongly.”
