That is anecdotal and isolated to the location you are at. One could just as easily give "real-life experience" to rebut yours. It is a wash. That is why they do studies such as this.

Exactly.

Maybe the majority of prejudice blacks are really conservative and simply unable to realize their own conservativism and prejudice?

So do you think the studies reflect American reality?

I believe what this study's researcher said:

"There are multiple examples of very bright conservatives and not-so-bright liberals, and many examples of very principled conservatives and very intolerant liberals," Hodson said."

I don't believe that most Republicans are racist. I do, however, think that most racists are Republicans.

Just as I don't believe all Liberals are anti-gun. I do believe, however, that most anti-gun proponents are Liberals.

Is there anyone that wants to refute this?

Reverse Racism: I now feel bad because I was mistaken that one person of the same color was another person of the same color.

I think that comment is a projection or biased.

Re: Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Study

I vote against the most popular, so I can say I told you so. Is that wrong?

What equally appalls me is 'denominational'....or doctrinal bigotry.
