European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 23, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Page the stars and stripes sunday. April 23,19b9 racism has fallen steadily polls find new York a prejudice in the United state has been declining for years polls show. And such groups As the loosely organized Neo nazi skinheads who were assembling with White supremacists in Idaho this weekend represent a minuscule minority with no trend in broader opinion behind them pollsters said last week. You always have Kook groups around said Tom Smith director of the Tim running general social sur vey at the National opinion research Center. I Don Tsee any sign that they re lapping a vein still even As polls track general decline in racism they do find lingering prejudice particularly among older Whites in the Rural South. And whiles Overall remain far More optimistic than Blacks about race relations. There s no doubt that there is a lot of racism in american society Smith said. To say that we Are a racially Colo Blind society is nonsense. But to say there has l been enormous Progress is also he pointed for example to support for busing to achieve racial balance in Public schools. Thirty four percent of american adults polled by the research Cen Ter supported busing in 1988 up from 16 percent in 1976 similarly while 23 percent said last year that they favored Laws against interracial marriage that was Down from 30 percent in 1980. Other measures from voting for a Black for president to accepting racial diversity in schools and neighbourhoods also show in creasing tolerance. Pollsters noted however that expressions of Toler Ance can be misleading while most Whites said they would Vole for a qualified Black for president for example most also Black has such qualification Snow. Generally the trend has been helpful. A lot of folks out there think racism is wrong and would like to believe it s a problem that s going behind us said Steve Ralston Deputy director of the a act Legal defense and educational fund. But Blacks still feel the effects of racism very in a recent Harris poll. 10 percent of Whites said most Blacks received equal pay for equal work while Only 40 percent of Blacks agreed in a Media general associated press poll. 57 percent of whiles said Blacks. And other minorities had the same opportunities As Wayne Jones stands guard Friday at the Entrance to the aryan nations Church compound at i Hayderi Lake Idaho where White supremacists have marked the Woolli anniversary of the birth of nazi Germany s Adolf Tiller. Whites but Only 18 percent of lacks agreed. Across the Board Whites think Blacks Are treated better than Blacks think Blacks arc treated said Ron Bass a pollster for Louis Harris and associates. Whites think Blacks have made a lol of Progress in terms of attaining Equality. Lacks Don t feel int Way at polls however do not support the thesis that while americans Are growing disenchanted with government efforts to address part discrimination. While such pro Grams have never been broadly popular Smith said support for them has held steady or increased not declined gauging from the sentiments in surveys the trend is in the right direction Ralston said.
