Most Americans Oppose White Supremacists, But Many Share Their Views:

[TTQ64]

Interesting poll. I generally don't put too much stock in polls, but since I was basically having this conversation with sailor in another thread, I thought I'd post for him. Maybe it will give him and the rest of the so called "no party" people a different prospective.

A new poll in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, finds that while Americans widely say they oppose racism and white nationalism, many still appear to hold far-right, white supremacist views.

The Ipsos poll, for Thomson Reuters and the University of Virginia Center for Politics, was conducted online from Aug. 21 to Sept.*5 ― in the weeks following the deadly*white supremacist rally on the University of Virginia campus. It sampled around 5,360 American adults, asking questions about race that respondents could agree or disagree with to varying degrees.
“While there is relatively little national endorsement of neo-Nazis and white supremacists,” according to*the release*describing the poll’s findings, “there are troubling levels of support for certain racially-charged ideas and attitudes frequently expressed by extremist groups.” *While the vast majority of Americans polled expressed support for racial equality when asked in so many words ― 70 percent strongly agreed that “all races are equal,” and 89 percent agreed that all races should be treated equally ― people’s responses got murkier when it came to expressing their viewpoints on particular issues related to race and extremism.

Thirty-one percent of Americans polled strongly or somewhat agreed that ‘America must protect and preserve its White European heritage.’ For instance, while only 8 percent of respondents said they supported white nationalism as a group or movement, a far larger percentage said they supported viewpoints*widely held by white supremacist groups: For instance, 31 percent of Americans polled strongly or somewhat agreed that “America must protect and preserve its White European heritage,” and 39 percent agreed that “white people are currently under attack in this country.”
“The poll results do show both an American public that overwhelmingly rejects racist affiliations and movements but at the same time is more tolerant of racially insensitive positions,” Kyle Kondik, communications director at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, told HuffPost.

“The results may be what you might expect from a country that is arguably defined by racial conflict,” he added. “And one that can vote for an African-American for president who ran on unity less than a decade ago, and then turn around and vote for a vehemently anti-immigrant candidate who exploited white grievances just last year.”


As NAACP Legal Defense Fund staffer Janai Nelson told HuffPost last month:*“Calling out extremists, white supremacists, neo-Nazis is an important but very low bar for where we should be as a society at this stage in our democracy.”

“What we should be [having] is a much more nuanced and deepened understanding of how those ‘isms’ manifest in policy, in systems, in a cloak of oppression that still lives with us,” Nelson said.*

I strongly agree that "America must protect and preserve its White European heritage."

And why not? Any other citizenry should want the same for their own country.

But you hold others down to do it.

No, I just don't cower beneath the idiocy that is political correctness.

That's what's bugging you.

[BRUTALITOPS]

every other culture can protect their heritage, why can't white people? Why do commentators get to go on cnn and celebrate the "browning of america" and how a "big beautiful brown wall" will stop trump, but white people can't be proud of what they have done? White european culture has done amazing things. I support all cultures having the right to be proud of their history and heritage. brown black white asian and purple. I believe in true equality, not leftist racism.

Trump is normal. Never forget that.

Perhaps celebrating one's heritage is fine. But asswipes like you have different reasons.

Your heritage really has nothing to do with this country. You all stole this country from the Native Americans and Spanish by using violence and hate. It's all you all know.

Because white supremacy is not about preserving white heritage, it's the lie the racist tell to fool others into thinking they aren't racist.

I'll refer to the title of this thread.

[PostmodernProphet]
