Topic	To many Americans, being patriotic means being white
FrisbeeDude 10/13/17 5:26:41 PM #3:	The left-hand panel above shows that whites who score high on that measure of racial consciousness feel particularly good about the American flag. Nearly 90 percent of whites who have strong attachments to their racial group said that seeing the flag made them feel extremely good, compared with only about a quarter those who score low in white racial solidarity. The right-hand graph shows a similarly strong link between white consciousness and a sense of American identity. These associations between white consciousness and patriotism are mostly unaltered after controlling for partisanship, ideology and demographics further bolstering the conclusion that white identity is strongly intertwined with American patriotism and American identity. The next figure shows an even more direct link between whiteness and American patriotism. The left-hand side of the display shows results from a June 1995 NBC poll that asked respondents, When you hear about someone being patriotic, do you think of a white man, a white woman, a black man or a black woman? The results again show that the publics image of the prototypical American patriot is far more likely to be white than black. In keeping with those findings, the right-hand display shows that, in a February 2012 ANES survey, few whites thought African Americans were particularly patriotic. Only 28 percent of white respondents thought that the word patriotic described most blacks very or extremely well, compared to 51 percent who thought most whites are patriots. This view that African Americans are insufficiently patriotic fits well with modern theories of prejudice, which argue that contemporary white racial resentment is characterized by a moral feeling that blacks violate traditional American values. In fact, one of the statements that Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher used to measure racial resentment for the Obama campaign in 2008 was, I often feel that African Americans arent as proud and patriotic about this country as I am. Racial resentment is also characterized by beliefs that African Americans are insufficiently industrious, obedient and deserving prevalent themes that Trump and his supporters tap into when they describe black players protesting racial injustices in America as disrespectful, spoiled and ungrateful. Its certainly no surprise, then, that whites who held racially resentful beliefs were especially likely to be against NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem, well before Trump started commenting about the issue last month. --- No one gets in the way of my frisbee games!
