Do Blacks Deserve Less Than Average Americans According To Trump Voters?
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Most people understand that average Americans have gotten less than they deserve. Most people don’t understand that average African-Americans have also gotten less than they deserve. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/go "Many have argued that Donald Trump won the presidency because the political establishment ignored the plight of white working class Americans. Everyone from the far right to far left, including Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Joe Biden has suggested that the Clinton campaign didn’t pay enough attention to this group’s legitimate economic grievances. A few astute analysts, however, have noted that the sympathetic focus on white America’s problems stands in stark contrast with conservatives’ lack of empathy for communities of color. Indeed, when African Americans protest against profound racial inequality—unequal conditions that are directly traceable to discriminatory governmental policies—they are often condemned by the right as “whiners“ who should simply try harder to remedy their own situations. Such different portraits of white and non-white Americans’ grievances have their origins in what social psychologists call “ultimate attribution error.” This error means that when whites struggle, their troubles are generally attributed to situational forces (e.g., outsourcing); but when non-whites struggle, their plight is more often attributed to dispositional traits (i.e., poor work ethic). Consequently, whites are considered “more deserving” than blacks. To quantify this double standard in deservingness we embedded an experiment in a new HuffPost/YouGov survey. We asked half of our respondents if they agreed or disagreed with the following statement: “Over the past few years, blacks have gotten less than they deserve.” The other half of the sample was provided with the exact same statement, except we changed “blacks” to “average Americans”—a group that psychology research shows is implicitly synonymous with being white. The results show a very strong public divide in the perceived deservingness of average Americans and African Americans:”* Read more here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-tesler/trump-voters-think-africa_b_13732500.html Hosts: Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola Cast: Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola *** The Largest Online News Show in the World.

TYT trolls
-
I luv this channel they actually are pretty fair on their perspectives of worldly issues
-
wtf you talking about? since 1970, blacks have gotten MORE than whites (and still mostly fail). they get special consideration at every level, everywhere.
-
black folks deserve everything. It's the Young Turk's who don't.
-
RACISM WILL BE THE DOWN FALL OF MY BELOVED AMERICA.....PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It isn't just Trump voters. The average white person thinks this as well.
-
Dishonest, deceptive, and race baiting propaganda.
-
I'd like to know how they worded the question, if they asked if they feel that Americans are getting shafted and immediately followed up with asking if they felt the same about blacks in america and received that response then yes that's fucked up and racist. I can't help but feeling that the low response to the second question is a reaction movements like black lives matter pushing the agenda that the majority of whites are racist against blacks now days and that the survey may have baited this response to be able to post these results. But hey, we all know the reliability of polls taken specifically to push a political agenda, not accusing only liberals here.

Whoever made that poll is racist. Why separate blacks from the average Americans? Who made this poll anyways?
-
The explanation for the poll is quite obvious. Trump voters feel affirmative action programs have helped blacks and other minorities, while whites have been left behind. Stop trying to invent racism. What we need for true equality is a color blind society where people are judge based on the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Man, whatever happened to that dream...

Socialism does hurt everyone. Donald Trump will guarantee people jobs and by lowering taxes to let people keep more of their own money will do much to let people expand their businesses and furthermore hire more people and even pay higher wages. Government just mucks up the works for everyone as only the government reaps the rewards for high taxation with only 8% of the money going to the recipients.

alot of them think blacks are 2nd class citizens. Some even sub human
-
funny thing is i use to support trump and watch alex jones the whole shabang.
took a step back for a while had a open mind started watching secular talk and young turks.
never in my life have i felt so stupid to support such a person as trump.
He got a lot of people tho he was full of lies and false hope i just noticed a little sooner then later.
maybe some people will see who he really is and slowly wake up -
surprise surprise trump voters are racist who knew jk. Everyone did.
-
Gee, I wonder why they didn't include "Over the past few years, white people have gotten less than they deserve" and look at the results. It's not like specifying a race changes the implied meaning of the question or anything.
-
Ofcourse we listen to huffpost who poll EVERYTHING wrong and even have trump a 1% chance of winning. not very credible.
