We've become jaded to the headlines 'shock poll shows that....bla bla bla'. But this time I really do agree with the shock and despair expressed by all respectable MSM outlets at a recent AP poll. 'Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the nation elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward black people whether they recognize those feelings or not' from the Boston Globe is typical. Various other responses I've seen include 'despair', 'depressing', 'dispiriting' and similar.
And I share these sentiments. Now just to be clear, I'm shocked and despairing at the fact that close to half of Americans do not harbour negative attitudes to blacks. How the hell can that be? Wilding, mob attacks, muggings, Section 8, soaking up taxes paid by Whites to buy iPods and the latest sports gear. Dragging every civilised city or institution they get hold of into a state of primal degradation. I'm surprised the figure wouldn't be about, well, say 99%.
Here's one explanation. There's a direct correlation between experience of living with or near blacks and attitudes to them. So-called liberals, engaged in competitive piety with their peers, residing in gated communities in wealthy suburbs, with a token Uncle Tom as a friend, can afford to be positive towards da bruddas. Now consider the feelings of an unfortunate White forced to reside in Birmingham Ala or Savannah.
And probably the main reason. All those wonderful, truly wonderful negroes they see, non-stop, in films and advertisements. Always cool, intelligent, masculine, showing up the nerdy dumb white guys. Wise, tolerant, suffering eyes, inventors of just about everything good and useful, as Black History Month shows us every year.
