Race Relations in America The Homeland Institute’s latest poll was prompted by how Charlie Kirk of TPUSA challenged the MLK narrative in January of this year. We asked a number of questions about how respondents view the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement, various leaders, and the prospects of current and future race relations. Major findings are that: 84.2% of respondents have a positive view of MLK, as did 88.2% of respondents age 18-29. The general public and especially the youth, including even the Republican youth, require further education about the truth of MLK and the Civil Rights Movement. Republicans report having more negative interracial interactions than Democrats. Proximity to diversity in urban environments may breed contempt for it, but not at the level some may expect. Democrats may tend to see diversity as an absolute moral imperative which can never be negative. Respondents tend to see the other side’s president(s) as worsening race relations, and Democrats are almost lockstep in thinking that Donald Trump had a negative impact on race relations. Respondents tend to think that immigration and affirmative action have a negative effect on race relations, but are nonetheless generally optimistic about race relations improving in America. https://homelandinstitute.org/polls/race-relations-in-america/
