Stoned, what are you and the rest of leftish America (including I suppose, "Academia") really doing, first hand, for people of color to help them elevate themselves, to help them be "equal," to help them experience the "joy" of being contributors that the people you are pointing at aren't doing, first hand?

Of course, I could ask the same question concerning the environment and climate change, the refugees (how many have you volunteered to take in) and everything that the left (and righteous Canadians) continually point to others as not doing?

A excellent question which I notice no one on the left has yet to answer.

The best I can tell liberals believe they’re actually doing something by just calling themselves a liberal. A badge they pride themselves on based on talk and nothing else and the liberal Canadians on this forum seem to be the worst. All talk no action.

Here’s an invitation for Seadog, Brewster and the turncoat, Ima: If you want to see, and I mean really see what you never have in America I’m sure my father in law could put together another local mission. I will provide myself, the tools and a couple experienced tradesmen on my dime and I’m sure my FIL’s church would help cover material costs plus several members helping. Truth told they get in the way with more cold beverages and homemade food than you could ever need working.

Being serious the invitation is open to anyone if you make the time and the reward is helping people trying to help themselves and it is cool how giving up a weekend can make that difference on things most take for granted. It’s been a good couple years for us since the housing crash and ready to give back again. Who’s onboard, let’s see a head count and get it organized?

All I have done is ask the question "Has There Been a Resurgence of Old-Fashioned Racism in the U.S.?" and I have provided a link to an academic study that indicates that such is the case. So far, no one has produced anything that might demonstrate that the study is in any way flawed.

Perhaps it is because the study is so biased and silly that no one cares about it. But here is something for you to read.

Not that you will accept any of it as even possibly being true.

The question asked in the OP was "Has There Been a Resurgence of Old-Fashioned Racism in the U.S.?". The study cited indicates that the rates of racist attitudes expressed by participants increased over three polls taken in 2008, 2010 and 2012. The study didn't compare attitudes from 1921 to 2016. None of the links you provided questions the findings of this study.

Just every one of them did. Look at the graphs and you will see the lie in your far left wing study.

To some folks having a black president is about like having a black son in law neener . The potential for racism is always there. It's human nature to be suspicious and distrustful of people who are different. Politicians and leaders can tamp it down or encourage it. The republican part and their media allies have stoked the later, particularly since Obama's election in 2008.

Okay.

Graph #1 deals with just one question. For the period we are discussing,2008 - 2012, this poll was conducted in 2011 and 2013 and found that the rate increased 1% during that time and the poll had a margin of error is ±2 percentage points. So, the true results might shown the rate decreasing 1% or more.

Chart #2 shows us a one time poll based on one question that doesn't indicate what changes may have taken place between 2008 & 2012.

Chart #3 shows us the rate of interracial marriage from 1980 to 2008, not our time frame, and one would expect that those couples have lower rates of racism but. still, they represent only about 1% of the population.

Graph #4 only goes up to 1997.

Chart #5 shows no time comparison.

Chart #6 shows no time comparison.

Graph #7 isn't about racist attitudes.

Graph #8 isn't about racist attitudes.

Graph #9 shows an increased likelihood that someone would vote for a black President of of 1% between 1999 & 2012 with a margin of error is ±4 percentage points. Not our time frame and not meaningful.

Chart #10 I could argue has a racist title but I won't go into it. Actually, this poll found:

Have race relations worsened since Obama was elected? The best data, two polls commissioned by The Associated Press, suggest the answer is yes. The number of Americans with “explicit anti-black attitudes” rose from 48 percent in 2008 to 51 percent in 2012, while implicit racist attitudes went from 49 percent to 56 percent. Another set of A.P. polls showed anti-Latino attitudes had climbed between 2011 and 2012.
New York Times

"Sampling margin of error for a 50% statistic with 95% confidence is: ± 3.78 for all interviews."
