Racism? Not a problem
by digby
This new Pew poll on race relations is just heartbreaking:
Now why do you suppose they think that?
Among whites, 28% say Obama has made progress toward improving race relations and 24% say he has tried but failed to make progress. But a substantial share of whites (32%) say Obama has made race relations worse.
This is driven largely by the views of white Republicans, 63% of whom say Obama has made race relations worse (compared with just 5% of white Democrats).
I know we're supposed to take pity on these people because they've had a rough time of it but really ... this is just unacceptable.
