[DaylyMail] - For the second consecutive year, race relations between black and white in the US are at their lowest point in more than two decades, and there's a 20-point gap in how white and black Americans view the future.
A Gallup poll published on Wednesday found 42 percent of Americans say relations between the two racial groups are 'very' or 'somewhat' good as opposed to 57 percent say they are 'somewhat' or 'very' bad.
The percentage of black people with a positive rating of race relations has slumped to 33 percent, while for white people it is 43 percent.
So, they do remember that Jim Crow was preceded by Reconstruction (https://www.britannica.com/event/Reconstruction-United-States-history).
Last year, the same poll found black-white relations for 44percent positive in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder and the subsequent nationwide protests and calls for racial justice.
And only 40 percent of black adults are optimistic there will be racial harmony, as opposed to 60percent of white adults, according to the poll by Gallup, which is a Washington DC-based analytics and advisory company. |
