Oye vey!
To me, that's crazy high. Like off the wall crazy high.
I mean, if there was sound research that said 30% of white people don't like or trust black people I wouldn't be surprised (white on black prejudice is well known). So let's just say my hypothetical here is true.... 30% mind you. Nearly 1 out of 3.... So let's say that's true, and then I were to try to convince you that such a fact wouldn't prejudice them against a black nominee for President... you would rightfully say I was fucking crazy.
So here we are with ADL stats showing a 30% bias of bigotry of blacks against Jews (not saying they hate Jews...as there are different levels of bigotry) and there's absolutely no talk about how this could be affecting the "black vote" en bloc.
To me, that's crazy.
That's ignoring the 800lb Gorilla in the room.
So when I wrote the OP I was intentionally vague. I was and still am looking for someone to show me the evidence that ADL seems to indicate is wrong. I didn't want to say what, if true, is an ugly fact.
But to date the response is... nothing... nada...
Just a bunch of "I don't see it so it must not exist" bluster.
So no, this isn't really me making stuff up like Trump does.
30% <<< either that stat is correct or not. I am willing to look at research that disproves it.
30% <<< if that number is correct, then it is crazy not to see it as a factor in the "en bloc" electoral disposition of the African American electorate.
I think any thinking person has to consider this as a factor if the numbers put out by the ADL are true.
