Interesting how nobody ever goes and studies rural BLACK folk..it’s like they don’t exist.

A Princeton sociologist spent 8 years asking rural Americans why they’re so pissed off

Hint: it’s not about the economy.


Robert Wuthnow, a sociologist at Princeton University, spent eight years interviewing Americans in small towns across the country. He had one goal: to understand why rural America is so angry with Washington.​

So I decided to speak with Wuthnow about what he learned and whether fears about America’s “moral decline” are really just a cover for much deeper fears about race and demographic changes.​

In the book, you argue that the anger we’re seeing in rural America is less about economic concerns and more about the perception that Washington is threatening the way of life in small towns. How, specifically, is Washington doing this?

Robert Wuthnow
I’m not sure that Washington is doing anything to harm these communities. To be honest, a lot of it is just scapegoating. And that’s why you see more xenophobia and racism in these communities. There’s a sense that things are going badly, and the impulse is to blame “others.”

Bullshit. I live in a rural area that has become more populated over the years I've lived here. A few minorities have moved here and I get along with them just fine. I have a large back yard and I allow some of the local kids to play football there. It's funny kids aren't racist when they play football because there are also minorities who play with them. I don't care if they play there, as long as they understand I'm not responsible if they get hurt.

I read the link with an open mind, and noticed there were assertions made with absolutely no corroborating data or evidence, or any description of the methodology used. Just assertions that rural white Americans are a bunch of racist, bigoted homophobes.

Yes that's true, perceptions are often without corroborating data or evidence all the time ... some people even die from them. ;)

This isn't about any particular person being racist. This is about these things increasing racial tensions. Mexican Americans, African Americans, Middle Eastern Americans, are all witness to it. Just the same are Judaism, and Muslim religious Americans.

It's myth, division creation by the democrat party to gin up votes. Racism while a serious issue has been diliuted by political hats using it as a bat against people.
