Abstract:
|
Analyzing survey data from a 2003 National Survey of Blacks that included an oversample of Whites we analyze support for reparations for American slavery. Results reveal that the public opinion divide among Blacks and Whites is extreme and opposition groups resemble those also opposed to affirmative action. Whereas the world tends to view reparation as a human rights issue, Americans tend to view it as affirmative action. The basis of American opinion appears to be the way in which reparation is framed by political elites as it is conveyed by American mass media. Opinions on this question are also importantly shaped by Americans’ racial attitudes about Blacks. |
