AP Writers Claim Their 'Poll' Shows 'Majority Harbor Prejudice Against Blacks'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 10/27/2012 6:04:34 PM PDT by chessplayer

The latest and possibly last (we can hope) preelection poll from partnership between the Associated Press and GfK Roper International purportedly tells us that most of us "now express prejudice toward blacks" whether we "recognize those feelings or not."

That's the conclusion communicated by AP reporter Sonya Ross and wire service deputy director of polling Jennifer Agiesta. In case we don't get the point, the item's accompanying photograph at the AP national site, Yahoo News and likely elsewhere is of Barack Obama, who despite the recognized and unrecognized racism of most Americans managed to carry 53% of the vote in 2008. Contrary to the report's headline, the AP pair admit that the AP-GfK poll results alone (done online, to add insult to injury) don't prove the point they're trying to make; other bizarre tests are also involved.

A transparent effort by the Obamabots to gin up their base. They should try using real gin instead of trotting out the tired old race card. Enough already!

So. We’re all “rasis” and we just don’t know it? They’re not called the Ass. Press for nothing. It looks like the Ass. Press is trying to reprise their “white guilt” thing to get their guy Barry elected.

So ... is the expectation that I have a problem, and that I need to change? Or should they change?

Because, when I drive around my town, it's pretty nice -- I think my neighbors and I are doing something right. But when I visit the inner city, I am appalled by the level of civilization -- makes me think that they're doing something wrong.

But what do I know? AP says I'm just prejudiced.

Didn't a majority vote Obama into the Presidency?

I'm sure I'm missing something. I know that AP is ever so much smarter than me.

And blacks racist views on whites? Ignored.

They vote heavily for blacks. How many for Romney? 5%? Surely racism!

So if Obama only polls at 50% does that mean 50 percent are racist?

BTW: I noticed that all four of those Americans who were murdered in Benghazi because nobody had their backs, were white. Probably just a coincidence.

Quick translation:

Anybody not voting for Obama is a BIGOT. (This means YOU.)

Prejudice is not bigotry or superstition, although prejudice sometimes may degenerate into these.
Prejudice is pre-judgment, the answer with which intuition and ancestral consensus of opinion supply a man when he lacks either time or knowledge to arrive at a decision predicated upon pure reason.

Were they over-polling Democrats to get this result?

The latest poll I took proves that 100% of blacks have predjudice against whites.

In the same poll it was discovered that 95% of them will vote for a turd if it has a D Behind it’s name.

There’s been a lot of crazy and stupid sh!t this election cycle but this “study” takes the cake.

It’s beyond the pale and everyone involved with it should be fired.

So, if two white guys are running against each other, I'm racist if I vote for one of them? If a black man runs against a white man, I vote for the black one (if he is out of jail by then), or I'm racist?

If I'm seen with white people, I'm racist unless there is a black person there, too? I'm not racist if I hang out with all black people?

Hmm, one other question - my female Yorkie is black and blond. Doesn't that make her like Hussein - both black and white? This is very confusing - I'd better have a drink. If I drink Bailey's Irish Creme, that is in the white family, if I drink Corona Light, that is a blond color, guess I need to buy dark beer or I'm racist. Thank you for confusing me.

Typical liberal projection. If you dislike one black, you must hate all blacks. If you object to abortion, then you must hate all women. If you speak against the lewdness of a gay pride parade, you must hate all gays. I’ve long been weary of their game. . .so I guess I must hate time.
