Q: For racialists to be right then 99% of Americans would have to be wrong. How likely is that?

A: According to the National Bestseller, "The Day America Told the Truth," a survey of American beliefs, most Americans hold views commonly deemed racist.  For instance, 77% of white Americans say they could never be involved romantically with a black person.  Fully 54% admit that they hold one or more of the following views:

• Blacks are more violent than whites.
• Whites are clearly more intelligent than blacks.
• The Ku Klux Klan has legitimate grievances.
• Whites have the right to keep blacks out of their neighborhoods entirely.
• They (whites) would refuse a blood transfusion from a black.
• They (whites) would demand a white doctor if a hospital assigned a black to them.

We also find that whites who live in areas where blacks are most numerous also hold the most racist views.  This bears out the truth that racism is not born of ignorance but of experience.  The notion that integration leads to greater peace and understanding among races is not demonstrated.  For instance, when Jesse Jackson ran for President in 1988 he garnered the most white votes from states with the least number of blacks (The Atlantic, July 1988, p.36).

And as most would agree, people should be judge more by what they do than by what they say, lets look at how people who agree with equalitarian views act.  Even the most ardent supporters of integration like Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton live in highly segregated communities.  Liberal politicians who crow for integrated public schools almost never send their children to them.

And as Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, points out, though many whites laud the benefits of diverse communities, few can name a single non-white community where they would want to live and raise their children.  And almost none take the principled tack of actually moving to one.

So while many whites claim egalitarian views, few will ever act upon them.  Most agree, even if not consciously, that white communities are better places to live and white schools are better places to send one's children.  Non-whites always are struggling to move into white areas, it's not the other way around.
