[Marxism] White skin privilege- Taking the 'fizz' out of class struggle



http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/race.html


% WHITES AGREEING THAT "LARGE DIFFERENCES IN INCOME
ARE NECESSARY FOR AMERICA'S PROSPERITY (n=706)

EDUCATION: HS DROPOUT HS GRAD SOME POST-SECONDARY
4+ YEARS COLLEGE TOTAL
Believe blacks smarter or as smart as whites 34% 28% 25% 16%
24%
Believe whites are smarter than blacks 38% 31% 42% 43%
37%

From the TOTAL column on the right we observe that whites believing that
they are smarter than blacks are more likely to agree that national
prosperity requires large differences in income--an important belief for a
status quo that features one of the largest gaps between the haves and
have-nots in the developed world.
