The victimization of white America put forth by conservatives and right-wing media has taken hold, according to the results in a new poll from Hill-HarrisX. A whopping 75 percent of registered Republican voters said that white Americans face discrimination.
A majority of Independents, 55 percent, sided with Republicans and said white Americans are discriminated against. Meanwhile, only 38 percent Democrats agreed, and sixty-two percent of Democrats said that white Americans face little or no discrimination at all.
However, the poll did find some agreement among the different political spectrums. Seventy-eight percent of Republicans, 82 percent of Independents and 95 percent of Democrats said that African-Americans are discriminated against. And, in total, 81 percent of the registered voters polled said Hispanics also face discrimination.
Interestingly, only 19 percent of white respondents said they personally faced racial discrimination, proving the point that the fear tactics of Fox News and other conservative media who sell the myth of reverse racism are working.

(1,584 posts)To discriminate you must have the power to do so. Only those who control the government, control the media, control the money, control the message, control the schools, control the military have the means, the methods, and the might to discriminate. Discrimantion is an overt act, not a philosophy or bias or feeling, or thought. It's an action that can and is enforced by law, societal mores, and majority agreement.

(22,976 posts)Whites are NOT executed on the spot by police, they CAN walk (or drive) safely after sundown, they dont have their families separated, or have 911 calls made about their very presence.
But they DO like to complain about all the political correctness that forces them to substitute black, or African American for their go-to, n*****.
Cry me a river, peckerwoods.
It makes one wonder who paid for that poll.
