Are White Republicans More Racist Than White Democrats? (Part Five)

Our series on racism in political parties takes a positive turn today with this question.





























One caveat here is that GSS did not ask this question between 1998 and 2006, hence the smoothness during that time. Yet we still see a drop when the question gets asked again and that is very good news indeed.

Progress!

Hey M, you obviously didn't pay much attention to that chart! LMAO

You are obsessing about less than 10% of white (Dem/Rep) voters. So what is your thesis - that 90% of independent whites are racists?

I wonder what this does to M's thesis about the Old South being hopelessly racist and mired in the past? The Cities Where African-Americans Are doing Best Economically. Shockingly, 13 of the top 15 (out of 52) are in Dixie, while Minneapolis-St. Paul is 44, San Francisco-Oakland is 48, Milwaukee is 52. "Liberal" California pretty much sucks in general.

Yep. Highest taxes and terrible income inequality - why it is almost like they are related.

I escaped and I'm very happy.
