The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON - Members of minority groups and whites in the United States often see the world through very different lenses, but politically speaking those differences are magnified by the blue/red divide, according to a new Pew Research survey. And that partisan split may be even more important in Washington.
On the legacy of slavery, 84 percent of blacks said slavery had “a great deal” or a “fair amount” of impact on the position of African Americans in society today. A lower number of whites, 58 percent agreed. And among Hispanics and Asians, the numbers were 67 percent and 69 percent respectively. Among white Democrats, 64 percent of respondents say the country hasn't gone far enough in giving black people equal rights. But among white Republicans, only 15 percent say they hold that view.
On the surface, the question of how African Americans are treated on a range of important everyday situations divides pretty clearly along racial lines. With large majorities, white Democrats say blacks are not treated fairly in dealing with police , in the workplace , when voting in elections , and when applying for a mortgage or loan .
