Majority harbor prejudice against blacks

Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.

Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some Americans’ more favorable views of blacks. [cont.]

    Let’s see, these people didn’t say that they were racially prejudiced, but someone determined that they were anyway. That leads you to this disgusting conclusion. What are you trying to achieve? You certainly don’t want to improve race relations. Four years ago, this nation elected an inexperienced mixed race man as its president. That trumps your out of thin air conclusion.
