Gallup: Americans Now Support Interracial Dating

NEW YORK Americans of a certain age recall vividly when interracial dating was widely frowned on, and even led to the lynching of many black men. Those days have seemingly passed, however, according to a new Gallup Poll.

The results find that Americans of all races accept interracial dating by wide margins, with 95% of younger people (18-29) approving.

Disgusting!!


Well, let them not to export this aberration.

Of course is should be remembered, as others have reminded me in the past, that opinion polls exist to shape public opinion rather than accurately report it.

People always get sucked into the herd mentality.
If an opinion poll (no doubt the target audience was picked carefully, and the questions were worded specifically) tells the public that most of them are thinking one way, then everyone is far more likely to agree with what they percieve is majority thinking.

Yeah, what Milesian said--a bit propaganaish if you ask me. Did anyone ask me?

Well, polls will be polls...

Eventhough they may contain some truth, I agree that it's propaganda. Another example that comes to mind are those polls on the Holocaust awareness - the less people are aware/care, the more education on the matter is needed.

I'm afraid this isn't an exclusively American matter...

I'm afraid this isn't an exclusively American matter...

Its a propagandistic salami swindle of Leftists and Neoliberals everywhere in all Euro-lands. I can remember what small scandal it was to have the first part Negroid moderator in German television, soon they began with dating shows and love stories of "exceptional couples", mostly Negrid males with European women. The next step was saying that this is not even exceptional, but normal, and that love needs no justification, though on the other hand, Europeans have to accept if certain groups protect their women (more or less, its attacked too), but a European father should even keep a straight face if his 17 year old daughter comes home with a 30 year old Negrid.
Such funny comedies about a pregnant women coming to the countryside and all are friendly, but then she gets a bastard, but finally all love this "sweet mulatto". Another story of a male, his woman gets a child and surprise, surprise, its black...etc.

In fact the media and education (essays about tolerance and stupid intolerance, why blacks are such a great enrichment and our ancestors where criminals) is full of such stories and valuations. Who wonders if the majority is finally indocrinated and cant even think rational any more...

Agreed that polls exist to shape public opinion.

But when they state that a 95% of people between the age of 18 to 29 approve racial intermixing, there must be some truth behind it.

[Carnyx]

It's a fact that I've yet to meet youngs who are really opposed to it. Except the nationalists...

[Welund]

I know many racist Americans who consider themselves above most everyone else, but when the right sexual attraction, mestizo, mulata, whatever, walks by, it makes no difference.

Duchemin is realistic, as usual. But let me give you some also realistic insight about "general youth" and "nationalist youth".

Many young people do feel a rejection for immigrants. However, this rejection for immigrants is overweighted by a rejection for Nationalists. Let me explain this point..

In both cases the rejection comes through an inability to identify themselves with any of the groups. Naturally, they don't identify with the immigrants as they are aliens and they are easy to relate to crime and other problems that degrade their societies. But they don't identify with Nationalist people either, because there is a logical tendency in Nationalist entourages to alienate themselves from mainstream society and to portray a marginal and negative image.

I know that this sounds harsh, but it must be said. It would be much easier to look for excuses and to release oneself of all guilt. But we must realize that being a Nationalist is not a right, but a duty. We have a duty with our nations, and every effort is small.

It doesn't sound harsh because it's the plain truth. Multiculturalists, race-deniers, immigrants themselves etc. can still get away with their vitriolic remarks about nationalism for the same reason you outlined above (i.e. many fringe groups identifyning themselves as nationalists). I'm not only referring to neo-Nazis, WNs, irredentists, etc., but also to down-to-earth nationalists whose opinions stray from the mainstream. Well, it's difficult to reconcile nationalism with the mainstream in this day and age to say the least.

that poll is propaganda. none of my friends support any of this and as time goes on in america kids here are seeing through all the mtv,mcdonalds BS in america, most of us are relearning about our heritage and wanting to hold onto the things that our grandparents cherish, there culture and there bloodline.most of us are of german, irish decent and believe me when i tell u this if i brought home a black girl my mother would disown me.

There is an Americanism which is being overlooked here. Very, very few Americans are going to say they are against interracial dating if the survey is a public one or their answer can be in any way traced back to them. What they say in private is another matter. You really have to know someone pretty well before he or she will open up to you on this level. Here, we have all be trained for knee-jerk Semetic Correctness.
