The Anti-Trumpers Were Wrong: Study Shows Less Racism in Whites Since Trump’s 2016 Win

(Rachel Stoltzfoos) The Washington Post contorted itself Thursday to reconcile a study that found a decline in racial prejudice with the narrative that Trump has spurred a national increase in racism.

University of Pennsylvania researchers expected the results of their study to back up that narrative, but found the opposite — since Trump took office, there has been a marked decline in racist attitudes among white Americans.

Rather than reexamine the premise that Trump rose to power by stoking racial resentment, The Washington Post doubled down and adopted the study’s conclusion that racist rhetoric from Trump is the reason for the drop in racism. (RELATED: Trump’s Presidency Linked To Decline In Racism)

The reporter introduces the study by reciting a list of reasons they believe Trump is racist, then provides a series of quotes from Democratic presidential candidates who say their aim in 2020 is to reverse the hatred Trump has spread, then poses the question as to whether Trump has “succeeded” in making the country more prejudiced.

“Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) said Trump ‘isn’t trying to make America great; he’s trying to make America hate,” the story says.

“Has he succeeded?” According to the researchers of the study noted in the post, he has not. (RELATED: Maxine Waters Calls Trump’s Immigration Plan ‘Very Racist’)

The study didn’t show an increased willingness among Americans to express racist views, or to support racist policies, as expected.

“Our findings contradict both hypotheses, as we primarily find declining prejudice and racial resentment, and certainly no increases,” the researchers wrote in the study.

Still, WaPo casts the results in a negative light, noting reports of a rise in hate crimes since Trump took office, proposing other possible explanations for the drop in racist attitudes, and emphasizing the study’s conclusion that naked racism from Trump prompted many Americans to recoil from their own prejudice.

“Hopkins believes the study provides evidence that the racially incendiary rhetoric and policies issuing from Trump’s White House have pushed the majority of Americans in the opposite direction,” WaPo reports.

Other members of the liberal media seized on this explanation. CNN’s Jake Tapper retweeted that line from the report, and MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough talked about it with Al Sharpton on “Morning Joe” Friday, asserting the “deficiencies” of Trump are responsible for the decline.

“People may have some natural leanings toward bias, but when you see raw bias, you tend to say, ‘Wait a minute I’m not like that, I don’t want to be like that,’” Sharpton said. “And it gives people like an alert button goes off and they go the other way. So I think that study may very well be well founded.”

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
