White liberals more likely to 'patronize' minorities than conservatives, study finds
White liberals present themselves as less competent when addressing minorities, while conservatives use the same vocabulary no matter what the race of their audience

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



White liberals present themselves as less competent when addressing minorities, while conservatives use the same vocabulary no matter what the race of their audience, according to a newly released   study .

Yale and Princeton researchers found that white Democratic presidential candidates and self-identified liberals played down their competence when speaking to minorities, using fewer words that conveyed accomplishment and more words that expressed warmth.

On the other hand, there were no significant differences in how white conservatives, including Republican presidential candidates, spoke to white versus minority audiences.

“White liberals self-present less competence to minorities than to other Whites — that is, they patronize minorities stereotyped as lower status and less competent,” according to the study’s abstract.

Cydney Dupree , assistant professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management, said she was surprised by the findings of the study, which sought to discover how “well-intentioned whites” interact with minorities.

“It was kind of an unpleasant surprise to see this subtle but persistent effect,”  Ms. Dupree  said. “Even if it’s ultimately well-intentioned, it could be seen as patronizing.”

The study flies in the face of a standard talking point of the political left — that white conservatives are racist — while raising questions about whether liberals are perpetuating racial stereotypes about blacks being less competent than whites.

The paper, which is slated for publication in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, first examined speeches by Republican and Democratic presidential candidates to mostly white and mostly minority audiences dating back 25 years.

Ms. Dupree   and Princeton’s Susan Fiske analyzed the text for “words related to competence” such as “assertive” and “competitive” and “words related to warmth” such as “supportive” and “compassionate.”

“The team found that Democratic candidates used fewer competence-related words in speeches delivered to mostly minority audiences than they did in speeches delivered to mostly white audiences,” said the Yale press release. “The difference wasn’t statistically significant in speeches by Republican candidates.”

Ms. Dupree   noted that Republicans also gave fewer speeches to minority audiences.

The researchers then set up an experiment in which white liberals were asked to respond to hypothetical individuals named “Emily” and “Lakisha.”

“Liberal individuals were less likely to use words that would make them appear highly competent when the person they were addressing was presumed to be black rather than white,” said the release. “No significant differences were seen in the word selection of conservatives based on the presumed race of their partner.”

Ms. Dupree   said the “competence downshift” could indicate a greater eagerness by white liberals to connect with those of other races.

“My hope is that this work will help include well-intentioned people who see themselves as allies but who may be unwittingly contributing to group divides,” said   Ms. Dupree . “There is a broader need to include them in the conversation.”

I agree that liberals do this.  I don't think it's a conscious thing or that it's coming from a bad place but it has created problems and contributed to this PC culture.

On the other hand, Conservatives absolutely mean what they say when they talk about minorities and thus the reason they are dwindling down to only old white men.

When it's OK to make jokes about all black people looking alike but you can't say something like monkey things up in regards to the economy and economic polices when your opponent is black depending on what letter is behind your name it is pretty obvious to most people there is strong predetermined prejudice.

I would once again remind you of the democratic parties racist past and ask why they didn't pass the kind of prison reform Trump is trying to when they could have 8 years ago.

Everyone knows that when the Democrats were considered racist they would later morph into the current republican party.  

Regarding Prison Reform:  Prison wasn't as big a racket as it is now.  It's extremely profitable.  Plus Trump and family are preparing for their time in jail so it makes sense they would want to try and implement prison reform.  jrSmiley_82_smiley_image.gif

NWM - it's not a crap statement.   


During the 1860s, Republicans, who dominated northern states, orchestrated an ambitious expansion of federal power, helping to fund the transcontinental railroad, the state university system and the settlement of the West by homesteaders, and instating a national currency and protective tariff. Democrats, who dominated the South, opposed these measures. After the Civil War, Republicans passed laws that granted protections for African Americans and advanced social justice; again, Democrats largely opposed these expansions of power.

Sound like an alternate universe? Fast forward to 1936. Democratic president   Franklin Roosevelt   won reelection that year on the strength of the New Deal, a set of Depression-remedying reforms including regulation of financial institutions, founding of welfare and pension programs, infrastructure development and more. Roosevelt won in a landslide against Republican Alf Landon, who opposed these exercises of federal power.

So, sometime between the 1860s and 1936, the (Democratic) party of small government became the party of big government, and the (Republican) party of big government became rhetorically committed to curbing federal power. How did this switch happen?

Eric Rauchway, professor of American history at the University of California, Davis, pins the transition to the turn of the 20th century, when a highly influential Democrat named William Jennings Bryan blurred party lines by emphasizing the government's role in ensuring social justice through expansions of federal power — traditionally, a Republican stance. [ How Have Tax Rates Changed Over Time? ]

Republicans didn't immediately adopt the opposite position of favoring limited government. "Instead, for a couple of decades, both parties are promising an augmented federal government devoted in various ways to the cause of social justice," Rauchway wrote in a 2010   blog post   for the Chronicles of Higher Education. Only gradually did Republican rhetoric drift to the counterarguments. The party's small-government platform cemented in the 1930s with its heated opposition to the New Deal.

But why did Bryan and other turn-of-the-century Democrats start advocating for big government? According to Rauchway, they, like Republicans, were   trying to win   the West. The admission of new western states to the union in the post-Civil War era created a new voting bloc, and both parties were vying for its attention.

Democrats seized upon a way of ingratiating themselves to western voters: Republican federal expansions in the 1860s and 1870s had turned out favorable to big businesses based in the northeast, such as banks, railroads and manufacturers, while small-time farmers like those who had gone west received very little. Both parties tried to exploit the discontent this generated, by promising   the little guy some of the federal largesse that had hitherto gone to the business sector. From this point on, Democrats stuck with this stance — favoring federally funded social programs and benefits — while Republicans were gradually driven to the counterposition of hands-off government.

From a business perspective, Rauchway pointed out, the loyalties of the parties did not really switch. "Although the rhetoric and to a degree the policies of the parties do switch places," he wrote, "their core supporters don't — which is to say, the Republicans remain, throughout, the party of bigger businesses; it's just that in the earlier era bigger businesses want bigger government and in the later era they don't."

In other words, earlier on, businesses needed things that only a bigger government could provide, such as infrastructure development, a currency and tariffs. Once these things were in place, a small, hands-off government became better for business.

Up to the end of the civil war, people traveled west by wagon train mostly. after the Civil war by the expanding infrastructure driven by the economy of the civil war....

Need I remind you that President Johnson (Lincoln's vice president) was a democrat? Reconstruction (as managed by Johnson and his cronies) was the absolute worst thing that could have happened to the south. Johnson's (and his parties) ideals?

Lincoln was dead remember, he didn't guide the nation after the Civil War....

So please tell us when this happened?

How does the link, that I personally don't think you bothered to read. prove your assertion when all it talks about is the parties stances on Federal power?

I looked for the water but all I seen was bull dung. 

So, sometime between the 1860s and 1936, the (Democratic) party of small government became the party of big government, and the (Republican) party of big government became rhetorically committed to curbing federal power. How did this switch happen?

So please tell us when they "morphed". Was it after 1972?

Congressional records show it was Democrats that strongly opposed the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. These three Amendments were introduced by Republicans to abolish slavery, give citizenship to all African Americans born in the United States and, give Blacks the right to vote.
Congressional records show that Democrats were opposed to passing the following laws that were introduced by Republicans to achieve civil rights for African Americans:
Civil Rights Act 1866
Reconstruction Act of 1867
Freedman Bureau Extension Act of 1866
Enforcement Act of 1870
Force Act of 1871
Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871
Civil Rights Act of 1875
Civil Rights Act of 1957
Civil Rights Act of 1960
And during the 60's many Democrats fought hard to defeat the
1964 Civil Rights Act
1965 Voting Rights Acts
1972 Equal Employment Opportunity Act

What would those history circles be that consider him an advocate of re writing history?

Historians have a network of communication just like all academicians do, their work is peer reviewed as well..... there are two different schools of thought in History circles. Those that feel history must be interpreted for those that will fail to understand without their thoughtful analysis, and those that explain how the facts interrelate and allow others to come to their own conclusions....

I belong to the self interpretation branch of historical research, he belongs to the guided historical interpretation branch.....

Others historians of the self interpretation branch? Shelby Foote, John Toland, Barbra Fields, James Symington, William Safire and numerous others...

I enjoyed his books on the New Deal,

He covers the new deal fairly well in what it was supposed to be and the whys, where he failed is in the outcomes and how long the "New Deal" actually lasted and what Roosevelt finally wound up doing to combat the Great Depression. (almost exactly the same things Hoover was doing with one major difference) Roosevelt understood the power of the media, the power to shape opinions and used it masterfully. His fireside chats offering hope and a calming influence were a master stroke politically earning a trust of the American people that few have enjoyed since even if his new deal policies were mostly defunct within two years.......

Roosevelt (FDR) was a great man and a great president he was a stabling influence at a time when we could easily have gone off the rails as a nation....

I'm not familiar with those two branches of history. I am aware of the''conversative/consenses and the ''progressive'' branches of the study of history. 

His book on the ''New Deal'' isn't a rewriting of history but a view that differs in some ways than other historians. 

FRD was the master politician. His fireside chats were exactly what the public wanted and needed at the time. Also his hiding of his disability (polio) was another move that if the public would have seen him in a wheelchair their confidence might have been much different.

Kidding aside, this is a good example of a partial reality becoming a truth.  It's kinda like the story that get's twisted with each telling.  

With that said, I believe that republicans that have chosen to support this President are racist not because of anything from history but from what I've witnessed first hand under the previous Administration and this Administration.  Republicans with any sense of decency and honesty have fled the republican party.  They understand that this President is vile and corrupt and racist.  Nothing you or anyone else says will ever sway how I feel.

My description is the same thing just stated more technically....

His book on the ''New Deal'' isn't a rewriting of history but a view that differs in some ways than other historians. 

the problem I had with his book is he offers his opinions, picks his facts to back up his positions draws conclusions on those opinions and then offers them as fact... (rather than the interpretations they clearly are)

FRD was the master politician. His fireside chats were exactly what the public wanted and needed at the time. Also his hiding of his disability (polio) was another move that if the public would have seen him in a wheelchair their confidence might have been much different. 

One of the greatest politicians that ever lived..... and yes his affliction was disguised as much as possible.....

The ultimate master stroke in the middle of an unadulterated disaster??

His handling of the Pearl Harbor disaster..... the day after, once the reports describing the extent of the disaster became clear, (the Pacific Fleet had been effectively rendered impotent) He called a conference of the political leaders of the day, ALL OF THEM. and what he told them both privately and in public was next to nothing about the true extent of the disaster.... A day later, he interrupted his preparations of a request for a declaration of war against the Japanese Empire. He chose to deal with the press which were hounding the WH press office with requests for a pressconference anything to get out to the people.... He couldn't do that, the issues were too great, the potential for further disaster all too plain....

What he chose to do was call in Ed Murrow for a single sitdown, not an official interview, just a visit to make a request....

He requested that Murrow report on the disaster truthfully but withhold the specific details or reveal them in a way that wouldn't set off a panic.... He gave Murrow complete and accurate details, stuff he didn't tell the assembled leaders of Congress, he laid out the entire disaster and the completely unprotected west coast that resulted from the disaster.... and that it would be at least a year before anything could be done about it... And trusted Murrow to report what was necessary to communicate the gravitus of the situation without causing a complete panic....

And of course Murrow was the voice everyone recognized by the population as the trusted voice of the news of his day.... (His "London is Burning" broadcasts were heard all over the world)

That was a hell of a gamble to trust the actual factual knowledge of the true extent of the disaster to the media and Roosevelt was well aware of the Pulitzer effect.

But then Murrow understood what a responsibility he was being handed.

One of the great things about Roosevelt?

He was a master at judging people and convincing them that the mission was more important than the personalities.... that's why there are a lot of Republicans that respect him a great deal even if we do not forgive him his policies...

He was a leader and one we needed at the time he was there...

I don't think that post Reagan we will ever find another...

Vile, a little strong, I would use repugnant. Corrupt, yet to be proven, potentially yes but I will wait for the evidence.

Racist? not hardly, he will use anyone to get his position formulated into a winning one, that is a fact that completely belies racism in any way..... If I used the same standard as many are that are calling him a racist then they will have to belly up to the propaganda bar and accept the corresponding dose of claims that Obama was a racist also..... Cause in trying to get his agenda across he did the same things as T-rump has done....

By all means, let's argue that talking down to minorities like they are children is a good thing.  It's not often people admit to being  racist, so let's hear your justifications for why talking down to minorities is a good thing.

This is an example of the larger problem. The Left declares things to be gaffes when they aren't. They insist someone has been insulting when they haven't. They declare racism to exist where it doesn't simply because making the accusation makes them feel superior. The truth of the accused person's feelings are irrelevant. Any attempt to deny the accusation or explain the words or behavior is - to the SJW leftist - only proof of the racism they think they saw.

Even NewsTalkers has a "CoC," and "Terms of Service," no ?

So when conservatives wish to go around firing off terms, like our ignorant sitting president repeating, " Pocahontas " out of proper context in the presence of Native Americans:

President Donald Trump revived his derogatory nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Monday, referring to her as "Pocahontas" during an event honoring Native American veterans at the White House.

Trump told the veterans: "You were here long before any of us were here. Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago. They call her Pocahontas."

SOURCE :

Why would this Fred Flintstone  look-a-like think to display such a derogatory, in poor taste, remark before esteemed veterans-of-a-certain age? Because he is a self-important ass who has little to no respect for the Office of the President, or the work and images of others. So the "appropriate people" have to snap his and others butts back to reality!

Because it's funny? I mean the name calling is something I would prefer not to see from a president, but if you're looking for racism in that story, it can be found in the actions of Elizabeth Warren and Harvard Law School. Trump is just making fun of them for it.

President Donald Trump is a delinquent 70ish year old man. There is not a damn thing funny or interesting about any president polluting the hearts, minds, and eyeballs of 350 plus million people with lies, namecalling, and mockings. At its best, it was a "one-off" but this imbecilic Yahoo does not know how to let it go. Besides, he is punching down. Translation: The "big man" is mind-jacking the country and its Native America populations for a stupid laugh. Which you admit you find funny, by the way!

Well, Trump's name-shaming of others has jumped the shark: Just ask Senator Jon Tester of Montana who recently won reelection to SIX MORE YEARS IN THE DEMOCRATIC SENATE while being ridiculed by President "Fred Flintstone."

I don't know what that means. I do know what it means to hijack something, though, and I think everyone's minds are still their own.

It is okay to call a faker—plastic. A phoney—fraud. A mean protagonist—a jerk. If Trump wishes to be nasty and mean and have nasty and mean supporters, then he can handle as good as he gives!

Turn around and go talk to Trump: Tell him to drop his rocks; for "violence begets violence."

I don't know what that means

It means Trump needs to stop lying to the country every day and having his staff, surrogates, and supporters tirelessly defending his reckless persona. We can not trust what he says to be true in any sense, world leaders consider his complicated deal-making to be faithless, and now he is most definitely heading to a vote of no-confidence on the world stage.

President Trump is coming into focus as two things he despises the most: Spent and Worthless at home and abroad.

There are reasons SJWs are always accusing others of racism, but it's rarely because the person they are accusing is actually racist. It's always on their minds and not on the minds of regular people. Most of us look across the table and just see a person.

The SJWs are measuring intersectionality. They literally assess someone's worth and decide how they will treat that person based on their race, their sex, their religion, and other ethnic factors. Sadly, they lack the self awareness to see their own bigotry and will ignore it even when someone can measure it as we see here.

They complain that the country is divided without realizing that they themselves are the ones doing the dividing.

Er' you may remember or do you choose to ignore the affinity Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have with the black people of America?! Black People get to choose (just like conservatives) whom they allow into their inner sanctum; it is not an academic one-size-fit-all cultural 'step.'

The Clinton's have a re-lat-ion-ship with the Black community. That is: They 'bonded' with the people who live out their daily lives in the trenches of "blackness." Bill Clinton, at least, empathized and make some concessions to the plight of Black Americans. Also, if you need a reminder, the politics of 1990's America was a chasm-wide of difference from the politics of present day.

As for your 'negro dialect,' I think Hillary was attempting to affect a drawl (and after her manner that is the best she can do). Listen to the real James Cleveland (as long as you can):

So, there you have it. And for the record if a republican had given a speech in the same manner it would have been 'panned' for the obvious reason: no relationship has been borne out for a "mulligan" to be allowed!

Black voters didn't come out for Hillary the same way they did for Obama- so the Clintons "inner sanctum" space is a lot smaller than you think. In fact Trump got more minority voters than Romney, the supposedly safe, moderate candidate did. Maybe back in the nineties Bill Clinton got the title of the "first black president" but those days are gone. Now the Clintons are the people who called young black men "super predators" and joke about how "they all look alike". And even trying to mimic somebody of a different race is considered bigoted by today's standards.

President Obama is a black man not engrossed in scandal

EXCEPT

• State Department email. In an effort to evade federal open-records laws, Mr. Obama’s first secretary of state set up a private server, which she used exclusively to conduct official business, including communications with the president and the transmission of classified material. A federal criminal investigation produced no charges, but FBI Director James Comey reported that the secretary and her colleagues “were extremely careless” in handling national secrets.

• Operation Fast and Furious. The Obama Justice Department lost track of thousands of guns it had allowed to pass into the hands of suspected smugglers, in the hope of tracing them to Mexican drug cartels. One of the guns was used in the fatal 2010 shooting of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Congress held then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt when he refused to turn over documents about the operation.

• IRS abuses. Mr. Obama’s Internal Revenue Service did something Richard Nixon only dreamed of doing: It successfully targeted political opponents. The Justice Department then refused to enforce Congress’s contempt citation against the IRS’s Lois Lerner, who refused to answer questions about her agency’s misconduct.

• Benghazi. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed in the attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya. With less than two months to go before the 2012 election, the State Department falsely claimed the attack was not a terrorist attack but a reaction to an anti-Muslim film. Emails from the secretary later showed that she knew the attack was terrorism. Justice Department prosecutors even convinced a magistrate judge to jail the filmmaker.

• Hacking. Mr. Obama presided over the biggest data breach in the federal government’s history, at the Office of Personnel Management. The hack exposed the personnel files of millions of federal employees and may end up being used for everything from identity theft to blackmail and espionage. OPM Director Katherine Archuleta, the president’s former political director, had been warned repeatedly about security deficiencies but took no steps to fix them.

• Veterans Affairs. At least 40 U.S. veterans died waiting for appointments at a Phoenix VA facility, many of whom had been on a secret waiting list—part of an effort to conceal that between 1,400 and 1,600 veterans were forced to wait months for appointments. A 2014 internal VA audit found “57,436 newly enrolled veterans facing a minimum 90-day wait for medical care; 63,869 veterans who enrolled over the past decade requesting an appointment that never happened.” Even Mr. Obama admitted, in a November 2016 press conference, that “it was scandalous what happened”—though minutes earlier he boasted that “we will—knock on wood—leave this administration without significant scandal.”

All of these scandals were accompanied by a lack of transparency so severe that 47 of Mr. Obama’s 73 inspectors general signed an open letter in 2014 decrying the administration’s stonewalling of their investigations.

One reason for Mr. Obama’s penchant for secrecy is his habit of breaking rules—from not informing Congress of the dubious prisoner swap involving Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and the Taliban, to violating restrictions on cash transfers to Iran as part of a hostage-release deal.

I did not particularly like George H. W. Bush when he became president.

But not long after President Bush uttered these memorable words and I never forgot the phrase: "A thousand points of light."

I was not expecting that.

At that moment, George H.W. Bush caught my eye as someone interesting and genuine. . . . He has remained that way with me since.

President George W. Bush uttered a phrase unfamiliar to me in a speech that I will never forget, "Compassionate Conservatism." Now, those words were already out in about in the conservative sphere long before President G. W. Bush delivered them in office as a philosophy and its effect on the country was complex. But, Bush tried to show some heart, keep his better angels aloft, and demonstrated a mixture of principles. The Republican Party was stalking around for a bull with sharp horns.

Stab something already.

In 2016, a scandal-driven baggage-topping real estate developer told hard-core republicans he could put a stake in the heart of compassion, and give them and this country what other leaders could not, would not bring themselves to do to innocent and loving people such as we are: He would unleash raw conservatism. A decent percentage of conservatives inked 'the deal,' they struck this bargain with Trump and now the country is scandal-poxed and itswhole head is sick!

Oh sorry I didn't know you were the deny facts type.

He rolled his eyes because your list is nothing but a bunch of conservative hot air.

State Department email: Hillary found "careless" but no evidence server was ever compromised.

Operation Fast and Furious: Started under GW Bush. There is ZERO evidence that the gun found in the raid linked to Fast and Furious was the gun that killed Brian Terry.

IRS abuses: Lois Lerner was appointed by GW Bush and both conservative and liberal 501c3's and c4's were targeted and none of the groups were ever denied their tax exempt status.

Benghazi: 8 Partisan Republican investigations over 4 years and the conclusion? No wrongdoing on the part of the State department or Hillary Clinton. President Obama called it terrorism the VERY NEXT DAY. The conservative narrative that it was some cover-up is total bullshit.

Hacking: How is that supposed to be Obamas fault?  And the claim the director took no action is completely baseless.

Veterans Affairs: Obama inherited a broken veterans system being overloaded with new patients from the two unfunded unnecessary wars GW Bush and Republicans started. Obama increased funding for veterans by 70% to try and fix a disaster but that fix didn't happen overnight.

So all you have is a load of baseless faux conservative outrage which the only proper response to is a roll of the eyes. My shredding of your conservative fantasies will no doubt fall on deaf ears, conservatives don't want truth, facts or reason, they just want to have their ears tickled, to be told they're right, that they're still relevant and that they're valuable to American society but I refuse to lie to them.
