Reuters poll: Many Clinton supporters are racist

City of Tampa: May 6, 2007; by zen death robot

Although the media would lead you to believe that Hillary Clinton�s primary voters are a diverse coalition of people of color and women uniting to shut down the patriarchy-loving white men that support Sanders, a recent poll proves that they are actually pretty drat racist.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/06/29/reuters_hillary_clinton_supporters_are_pretty_racist_too.html

quote:

Pollsters interviewed 16,000 Americans and asked them to grade whites and blacks on a series of personal traits, ranging from their intelligence to lawfulness. �In nearly every case,� the outlet notes, �Trump supporters were more likely to rate whites higher than blacks when their responses were compared with responses from Clinton supporters.�

� Roughly one-third of Trump supporters described blacks as less �intelligent� than whites, compared with about one-fifth of Clinton supporters who did the same. Among all respondents, 22.5 percent suggested whites were smarter than blacks.
� 40 percent of Trump supporters described blacks as more �lazy� than whites, compared with one-quarter of Clinton supporters who did the same. Among all respondents, 26.8 percent suggested whites were harder working than blacks.
� 44 percent of Trump supporters described blacks as more �rude� than whites, compared with 30 percent of Clinton supporters who did the same. Among all respondents, 31.3 percent said whites were more well-mannered than blacks.
� Nearly half of all Trump supporters described blacks as more �violent� than whites, compared with nearly one-third of Clinton supporters who did the same. Among all respondents, 32.8 percent said whites were less violent than blacks.
� Nearly half of all Trump supporters described blacks as more �criminal� than whites, compared with nearly one-third of Clinton supporters who did the same. Among all respondents, 33.2 percent said whites were more lawful than blacks.

Financially comfortable people that are unconcerned with or opposed to almost anything that would benefit the working class are racist? Who�da thunk it?

America is probably the least racist country I've been to. Sometimes I travel with this black dude who used to be a special forces guy with his coin and everything. He does biometrics for the military for us and owns bones to drink with but he puts up with some p crazy poo poo overseas and I half expect him to Zangeif body slam people but he's super chill about it.

There was also a chinese guy I had a project with once in the carribbean and everyone kept calling him a "chee". Also a crazy guy attacked me in some village so I guess he doesn't like whites at least.

So that was cool. Those are the only stories I have related to this information OP.

We can solve this problem by grouping people by metrics other than race. Something like penis and butt size would do nicely I think.

Clinton isn't really the left though, she's center-right (or whatever you call a socially liberal 1980's-style Republican)

Have I missed something here? All I see is Trump supporters hate blacks in every possible way, more than Clinton supporters.

Maybe I just don't understand american politics.

yeah but Trump supporters are only slightly more racist than Clinton supporters, although if you'd watched any US news programming in the last few months you'd think that everybody voting for Trump is a skinhead and all of Clinton's voters are impoverished women of color just trying to survive in a hostile world.

The secret life of a Hillary voter

:ohdear:

quote:

by Amy Goldman Koss

June 27 2016

Many of my family and friends were so hot with Bernie fever that any mention of doubt, or, heaven forfend, support of Hillary Clinton, was met with eye-rolling at best, and lengthy, contemptuous, �splaining at worst. A little of that goes a long way. Not a long way toward changing my mind, but a long way toward ending political discussion.

So I shut up about Hillary. And, yes, I was keenly aware of the irony: I was too wimpy to support her out loud in the face of mildly patronizing contempt, while she was flying face-first into much worse. But then, I was running from conflict, and she was running for president.

Meanwhile, there was no avoiding the Clinton bashing online; she was getting it from the right for being too left, from the left for being too right, from all sides for being too shrill or too manly, too wishy-washy or too inflexible, mawkish or hawkish, and unlikable. The insults hurled at Hillary splattered her supporters.

I kept my head down and my thoughts to myself until a Facebook acquaintance wrote something enthusiastic about Hillary, and I responded. Several hideous comments by Hillary-hating strangers quickly followed.

You know the feeling when someone suddenly yells at you from a passing car? Maybe he honks his horn, making you jump, making your heart race and your face burn as if you�ve been slapped? Well, it turns out the same feeling can be evoked by a Facebook comment, if it�s mean enough.

Soon after that, I received a private message inviting me to join a secret Hillary Facebook group. I accepted and discovered I wasn�t the only one feeling battered by the political shouting and fist waving.

I wasn�t the only one cheering when Clinton spoke to my concerns. I wasn�t the only one stunned silent by people saying they wanted a woman for president, but not that woman. I wasn�t the only one who tried to speak to younger progressives and heard myself sounding as unintelligible as the grown-ups in a "Peanuts" TV special.

My new campaign cohort was capped at 150 members and I'd just made it in. We were wildly diverse in age, profession and interests. The group was predominately but not exclusively female. Some members were politically sophisticated activists. Others, like me, responded from the gut.

Logging onto my secret Hillary fan club became a bigger and bigger part of my online day, checking in on reports from Hillary�s events, checking out links reading comments. While my nearest and dearest talked about how no one was talking about Bernie, I sneaked off to my computer to feel solidarity with strangers whom I wouldn�t even recognize in line at the market.

With every set of primaries, we could log on and keep refreshing our news feeds to watch the results come in together. We celebrated in real time again and again. Not to gloat, but the latest count is more than 16.5 million votes, according to Wikipedia.

And now it has come out that there are many, many secret Hillary groups online, some with several thousand members. The fact that so many of us have felt the need to hide speaks equally to the ferocious public nature of the Hillary-haters and the private faith of her supporters.

I don�t know about the other secret groups, but the one I�m in continues as strong � and as private � as ever. Some brave members have stepped out of the closet occasionally to engage in cyber battles Others say they will only feel safe coming out in the voting booth.

Until this election, I never completely got the power of the secret ballot. In an effort to keep peace at family dinners, or at work, or in the carpool, I�m sure many people stay mum about their political allegiances. When we finally get our ballots, however, we make our marks as we please, no matter what the pollsters predict or the attack ads scream. With that in mind, I hope any Hillary leaner who still finds herself buffeted by Sanders diehards, Trump enthusiasts or even scofflaw nonvoters will seek out a safe place for some camaraderie and support.

Hm. There's no information on the racial demographics of those polled. I wonder how much of the difference in responses is due to the differing proportions of supporters who are actually black themselves in each camp.

yeah actually if you adjust for race it's possible that white Hilary voters are more racist than white Trump voters. Of course that's probably why you'll never be able to find that data.
