If you are white, support the Constitution, the Rule of law, equality, according to a UCLA study, you are a racist. These radicals bigoted, hate filled professors are being paid by our taxpayers. Imagine taxpayers financing the racism of David Duke? This is a modern-day Klan value, given the credibility of UCLA—a campus that is openly antisemitic.
White Americans who expressed higher levels of racial resentment, anti-immigrant sentiment, or who believed that white people face discrimination were significantly more likely to support voting restrictions, oppose voting expansions, believe in voter fraud, and support overturning election results. This relationship held even when considering other factors like political party affiliation, ideology, and support for Donald Trump. …
“The most explanatory variable by far in explaining support for voting restrictions, opposition to voting expansions, belief in widespread voter fraud, and support for overturning democratic election results is favorability towards President Trump,” Ferrer noted. “However, it should be noted that the relationship between anti-democratic beliefs and racial attitudes persists even after accounting for Trump favorability, as well as partisanship, ideology, education, gender, age, income, religion, and conspiratorial beliefs.”
You are paying for this racism on the UCLA campus. Imagine what these bigots teach in class? All the while, Gov. Newsom is silent, thus allowing racism to be taught. Does that make him a racist? You bet, his silence is support for this abuse.
UCLA study: Whites’ ‘anti-democratic’ attitudes linked to racism against minorities

A recent study out of UCLA claims white Americans’ “anti-democratic sentiments” are “strongly connected” to racist feelings towards minorities.
Study author Joshua Ferrer, a UCLA PhD candidate and incoming professor at American University, cited Donald Trump’s “attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results” as a catalyst for warnings by the media and scholars about the “state of America’s democracy,” PsyPost reports.
Indeed, the introduction of the study by Ferrer’s and co-author Christopher Palmisano, published in the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics, begins with an alarming description of January 6, 2020: when “the world watched as thousands of protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol, attempting to overturn the results of a democratic election.”
“This event took place after a months-long campaign by Trump and his Republican allies to delegitimize the results of the presidential election,” the intro continues.
“In his speech to the insurrectionists on that day, Trump connected a wide range of voting reforms to the supposedly illegitimate election outcome: ‘There’s only one reason the Democrats could possibly want to eliminate signature matching, opposed voter ID, and stop citizenship confirmation … because they want to steal the election.’”
For the study, “anti-democratic” also means things like having to show ID at polling places (“some scholars have found that voter ID laws disproportionately affect racial minorities”), and being against mail-in ballots and automatic voter registration.
Negative racial feelings include beliefs that minorities are “demanding too much or gaining unfair advantages,” and that white people experience discrimination.
Ferrer (pictured) conceded that “like all survey-based research,” his study “relies on self-reported attitudes and beliefs which may not always perfectly reflect individuals’ true feelings or behaviors.”

A Pew survey from last year shows 81 percent of Americans favor requiring ID in order to vote, and 82 percent support requiring a printed paper backup for electronic voting machines. Fifty-seven percent also favor mail-in voting, automatic voter registration for “eligible” voters, and automatic voter registration.
There were much bigger partisan splits on the latter three issues compared to the former two.
The study states that “even if such laws [like voter ID] have no measurable effect on overall turnout or turnout of racial minorities, their intent appears clearly targeted at these goals, undermining the principle of an inclusive democracy.”
