can you provide citation to support this assertion of yours?
Sure. From Whitley and Kite's description of "Symbolic Racism" (One of the many new "types" of racism that, by definition, are only racism by white people against blacks)
From Wikipedia (Not the best source, but decent summary)
"Whitley and Kite cite six underlying factors that contribute to symbolic racism.
[6]
- Implicitly anti-Black affect and negative stereotypes.
- Racialized belief in traditional values.
- Belief in equality of opportunity.
- Low belief in equality of outcome.
- Group self-interest.
- Low knowledge of Black people.
...Furthermore, those with symbolic prejudice tend to believe in the equality of opportunity, which includes access to resources such as education, housing, and employment.
[6] However, they tend not to believe in the equality of outcome. This explains how people can support the principle of racial equality but not support initiatives to achieve it, such as affirmative action. Government intervention when individuals do not have the same talent, effort or historical background would violate traditional values of equality of opportunity.
[6] Thus, “people can simultaneously endorse equality of opportunity and reject government intervention to bring about equality of outcome.”
[6]"
So yeah, thinking everyone is equal and wanting equality of opportunity over equality of outcome apparently makes you racist, but thinking Blacks are superior to Whites doesn't make you racist. This is the kinda shit that I feel is rampant among the Bernie supporters, and one of the reasons why I prefer Clinton.
