In short, not speaking out against racism is just as bad as supporting those ideologies supportive of racism. Only a third of the blacks agreed with that statement Contact between the races Whites are much less likely to come in contact with blacks in the major contact settings. Almost eight out of ten whites live in mostly or all white neighborhoods. They tend to work with other whites, and be members of clubs that are mostly white. Both blacks and whites predominantly go to the church with their own race.
Religious worship remains one of the most segregated aspects of American life today.
When asked about other whites, the average respondent rates whites at 4.2 on the scale. Blacks rate white prejudice at 3.9. Also, less than a majority of whites said they would object even if blacks in great numbers came to live in their neighborhoods. Statistics like these show how blacks and whites see the problem from different scopes. I believe the main cause of the differing opinions is the lack of communication and understanding between blacks and whites.
