A Reuters poll found that Donald Trump supporters are more likely to view black people negatively. This poll was conducted just before John Kasich and Ted Cruz dropped out of the race.
Hillary Clinton and Kasich supporters actually have similar views on race relations. Trump supporters are definitely more racist.
The Reuters poll can be seen here. When asked if they view black people as being less intelligent, 30 percent of Trump supporters think that they are. On work ethic, 40 percent of Trump supporters think that black people are lazy. Over 40 percent of Trump supporters think that black people are ruder than whites.
Trump supporters lead by over ten percentage points on most of these polls. His supporters seem to be the most racist out of the bunch of Republicans.
The polls first ran in March and April when Cruz and Kasich were still in the race. The poll ran for a second time in May and June after the other Republican candidates had dropped out.
Only 36 percent of Trump supporters agree with the statement:
“I prefer to live in a community with people who come from diverse cultures.”
Trump’s senior policy advisor had this pile of horsesh*t to say about the topic:
“Mr. Trump is an egalitarian who believes in supporting and protecting all people equally. This is a stark contrast to Hillary Clinton, whose policies have been a disaster for African-American and Hispanic citizens.”
Republicans just don’t seem to think that we need to work on race relations at all. As Gawker reports:
“And while about eight-in-ten (78%) white Democrats say the country needs to continue making changes to achieve racial equality between whites and blacks, just 36% of white Republicans agree; 54% of white Republicans believe the country has already made the changes necessary for blacks to have equal rights with whites.”
Trump has done a good job of bringing out all of the crazy racist people.
Here is a video of some of the dialogue occurring between Trump supporters and protesters at one of his rallies:
