Trump voters say racism against white Americans is a bigger problem than racism against Blacks

As public support for reparations for African Americans remains stubbornly low, a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll reveals one major roadblock: Donald Trump voters believe that racism against white Americans has become a bigger problem than racism against Black Americans.

The survey of 1,638 U.S. adults, which was conducted from July 13-17, shows that among 2020 Trump voters, 62% say that racism against Black Americans is a problem today — while 73% say that racism against white Americans is a problem.

Asked how much of a problem racism currently is, just 19% of Trump voters describe racism against Black Americans as a “big problem.” Twice as many (37%) say racism against white Americans is a big problem.

Trump voters and self-identified Republicans — overlapping but not identical cohorts — are the only demographic groups identified by Yahoo News and YouGov who are more likely to say racism against white Americans is a problem than to say the same about racism against Black Americans. A majority (51%) of white Americans, for instance, think racism against people who look like them is a problem — but overall, far more white Americans (72%) say racism against Black Americans is a problem.

Or maybe these Trumpers are discriminated against because they're mind numbingly stupid.

To give an example of how racism against white people has negatively impacted their lives, I’ll bet they couldn’t come up with one.

It cannot be supported by any rational examination of facts.

The nearest thing to real meaning which might be extracted from it amounts to this:


Everything I see around me which differs from the small town white past I am nostalgic for is an act of discrimination against white people, because it prevents white people from living in that past where only white people like me mattered.

What the MAGAts call 'racism against white people', (as they typically pretend to be victims) is what the rest of us call accountability and consequences for their racism against dark skinned folks.

The crybabies just can't handle it when they are stood up to and called out.

1. You're worried about no longer being the majority demographic in country, likely in all parts within a decade.

2. You want to be in control even if you're now the "Minority".

3. You're worried about what past Minorities will do to you when they're in the Majority.

4. There will be laws regularly enforced against lynching, racist antics, red-lining properties, you know, discrimination.

5. You feel discriminated against as a white person? It's nothing compared to the era between the time that African-Americans were kidnapped, died on ships, sold into slavery, whipped for no reason, watched their children get sold, their spouses get raped and/or sold, and then Jim Crowe and lynchings. You have no idea how discrimination defines your life 24/7/365

But whatever you do don’t ask them for an example. They’ll just say, “See, that’s an example of racism against white people, always asking us for an example of our complaints.”

Are these people who voted for TFG or are they people that would vote for a dishrag if it had an "R" after the name?
The loss of swing voters cost him '20. So, this could be the opinion of a fringe. 62% of 20% is still less than 1 in 8.
