Some 56 percent of American voters say they believe U.S. society is racist, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll has found. The survey shows substantial shifts in views on race nearly two months after George Floyd, a Black man, was killed in police custody in Minneapolis. Nearly three-quarters of Americans in the poll, 71 percent, believe that race relations are bad. “Americans are concerned about issues of inequality, and George Floyd’s death helped contribute to that,” said Brenda Lee, a pollster who worked on the survey with Democrat Jeff Horwitt and Republican Bill McInturff. “We’ve moved the needle a great deal in terms of just clearly identifying that we, as Americans, have an issue with racism in this society.”
Opinions about the extent of racial discrimination break clearly along party lines, however; 90 percent of Democrats said Black people are discriminated against, whereas just 26 percent of Republicans agreed. A similarly large share of Democrats, 82 percent, believe American society is racist, a view held by only 30 percent of Republicans. Some 57 percent of those surveyed said they support the nationwide protests sparked by Floyd’s killing, and 58 percent said they are more concerned with racial inequality as a result of the demonstrations.

The same “poll” that asked this question should also ask the same people (at the same time) about anti-Semitism, and further ask, whether AOC endorsements of certain groups is anti-Semitic. Then correlate the responses.
Had these polls been genuine then you can ask them about anti-Semitism. However, since these polls are phony and much of it was altered by the media, why even bother reporting it? They’re the same kind of so-called polls that got Hillary a 97% chance of winning in the 2016 election when she ended up with only 12% of the nation voting for her.
ALL polls nowadays are fake news. Period!
So some of the racists helped elect a black president? They are really bad at their racism…
This racist society voted in a black man for president twice!
Inherently, one can make thought of what a freed slave family is today. The arrival to an American shore was a paid active time based on the consumer in America. The family had no role in its actual plan to settle in the North America. We can wonder if the odd times ask for change based on merit of actual wait upon new health. The citizen immigrant is a fit health of a nation. A free slave family is not an immigrant family begun by origin. One might wonder there are biblical traits and not a systemic racisim as the world implies. The system is usually right but if not, we fix it stronger.
Could we just be fast to see a world of new law? Its odd but an eager year hopes that Hashem does honor humane roles of man.
I want to know which fools they asked this question too. Most poles I have seen show the number to be much much less and I am sure they oversample people who will answering the affirmative
Vote for the white male Joe Biden and the world will be whole again.
Errr, YES AMERICA IS RACIST! All you people thinking that it is not have obviously not read the news in the past…. ever! If anything, those people that said U.S. society is not racist – dont even understand how racist it is!
Calling out all different people as minorities – is racist.
Giving special privilege to specific groups/minorities – is racist.
All the protests – are racist.
How did Obama get elected – all they ever talked about was is that he is black.
All the quotas that governments have to fill to give “equal rights” to – are racist.
All forms that bushiness have to fulfill employing all types of people – is racist.
If you want to free yourself from racism in America, you need to get rid of all the special groups, quotas, minority equality and special history days /month. If a person is good enough for the job, then they get hired. If a business has a good resume & application, then they get the government contract – irrespective of who owns the company. Stop giving special hand outs to this group or that group, just treat all people on the same level playing field.
Racism is ingrained in American society and if anything its getting worse.
