On Tuesday morning,
a disturbing new poll was released by the highly respected Public Religion Research Institute.
In it, two particular results are extremely revealing:
1. No ethnic group believed more in the power of protest than white Americans.
A poll-high 67 percent of white Americans believed that "when Americans speak up and protest unfair treatment by the government, it always makes our country better."
2. When asked if they felt it was always good for America when black Americans "protest unfair treatment by the government," the number plummeted 19 percent for white Americans. No ethnic group thought less of African Americans protesting than white Americans.
What conclusions do you draw from these results?
