  • why do white americans oppose race targeted policies clarifying the impact of symbolic racism
    Political Psychology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Joshua L Rabinowitz, Jim Sidanius, David O Sears, Jon A Krosnick
    Abstract:

    Measures of symbolic racism (SR) have often been used to tap Racial prejudice toward Blacks. However, given the wording of questions used for this purpose, some of the apparent effects on attitudes toward policies to help Blacks may instead be due to political conservatism, attitudes toward government, and/or attitudes toward redistributive government policies in general. Using data from national probability sample surveys and an experiment, we explored whether SR has effects even when controlling for these potential confounds and whether its effects are specific to policies involving Blacks. Holding constant conservatism and attitudes toward limited government, SR predicted Whites' opposition to policies designed to help Blacks and more weakly predicted attitudes toward social programs whose beneficiaries were Racially ambiguous. An experimental manipulation of Policy beneficiaries revealed that SR predicted Policy attitudes when Blacks were the beneficiary but not when women were. These findings are consistent with the claim that SR's association with Racial Policy preferences is not due to these confounds.

  • sophistication and the antecedents of whites Racial Policy attitudes racism ideology and affirmative action in america
    Public Opinion Quarterly, 2002
    Co-Authors: Christopher M Federico, Jim Sidanius
    Abstract:

    A number of researchers have argued that the effects of prejudice on the Racial Policy attitudes and general political beliefs of white Americans may be restricted to the poorly educated and politically unsophisticated. In contrast, rather than being motivated by prejudice, the Racial Policy attitudes and ideological values of the politically so- phisticated white Americans should be more firmly informed and mo- tivated by the tolerant values at the heart of American political culture. These values include such things as individualism, notions of fair play, and devotion to the principle of equality of opportunity. We tested this hypothesis using white respondents from the 1986 and 1992 National Election Studies. Our evidence generally indicated that Racial Policy attitudes and political ideology were more powerfully associated with ideologies of Racial dominance and superiority among politically so- phisticated white Americans than among political unsophisticated white Americans. Moreover, even among the sophisticated, we found that various forms of egalitarianism predicted support for-rather than op- position to-affirmative action and that support for equal opportunity is not uniformly distributed across the political spectrum.

  • a comparison of symbolic racism theory and social dominance theory as explanations for Racial Policy attitudes
    Journal of Social Psychology, 1992
    Co-Authors: Jim Sidanius, Erik Devereux, Felicia Pratto
    Abstract:

    Abstract Symbolic racism and social dominance theories were compared by reanalysis of data from a national probability sample of 234 White Americans and by using observed-variables, structural equation models. Contrary to the conclusions reached by Jessor (1989), the results did not support the major contentions of symbolic racism theory; rather, they seemed more consistent with the assumptions of social dominance theory. The possibility that symbolic racism serves as an important legitimizing myth in American society is discussed.

  • Racial reparations against white protectionism america s new Racial politics
    The Journal of Race Ethnicity and Politics, 2021
    Co-Authors: Rogers M Smith, Desmond King
    Abstract:

    After more than half a century in which American Racial politics has been structured primarily as a clash between two rival “Racial orders” or “Policy alliances,” the longstanding coalitions are transforming into ones centered on significantly new themes. The Racially conservative “color-blind” Policy alliance is, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, becoming an alliance promising “white protectionism.” The “race-conscious” Policy alliance is, with the mobilizations around the slogan of Black Lives Matter, becoming an alliance focused on “Racial reparations” to end “systemic racism.” These new, even more, polarized Racial Policy alliances have counterparts across the globe, and they are likely to shape political life for many years to come.

  • america s new Racial politics white protectionism Racial reparations and american identity
    China International Strategy Review, 2020
    Co-Authors: Rogers M Smith, Desmond King
    Abstract:

    The United States has been shaped by clashes between rival “Racial orders” or “Racial Policy alliances” since the nation’s very beginning. For the last half century, those contests have chiefly been between proponents of “color-blind” and “race-conscious” public policies. Today, however, the nation’s dominant Racial Policy alliances are transforming into ones centered on significantly new themes. The Racially conservative “color-blind” Policy alliance is, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, becoming an alliance promising “white protectionism.” The “race conscious” Policy alliance is, with the mobilizations around the slogan of Black Lives Matter, becoming an alliance focused on “Racial reparations” to end “systemic racism”. These new, even more polarized Racial Policy alliances have counterparts across the globe, and they are likely to shape political life for many years to come.

  • without regard to race critical ideational development in modern american politics
    The Journal of Politics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Desmond King, Rogers M Smith
    Abstract:

    Many scholars note that Racial Policy issues now focus on color-blind versus race-conscious approaches to Racial inequalities, but they have not adequately explained how this development occurred or its consequences. Using work theorizing the role of ideas in politics, this article argues that these changes represent a “critical ideational development.” Diverse strains in earlier Racial Policy positions were reformulated to advance not just old Racial goals but new ones. This critical ideational development produced advantages for conservative coalition building and Republican electoral campaigns, thereby contributing to the Reagan Revolution and later polarization and gridlock, and it helped drive Racial issues out of campaigns and into other venues, especially legislative, administrative, and judicial hearings. It has not been associated with great progress in reducing Racial inequalities or promoting Racial harmony
