South Carolina exit polls in Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Spartanburg asked voters to decide if “Blacks are getting too demanding in their push for equal rights,” WSPA.com reports.

Other questions asked on the poll were whether or not Black people work hard enough to advance economically, and are they “hindered by the effects of slavery and discrimination.”

The poll creators said they did not anticipate the backlash.


“It was designed to take advantage of a political moment of Senator Tim Scott’s election as the first African-American from a southern state since reconstruction,” said David Woodard, a political science professor at Clemson University. “It was not designed to be provocative.

“We do this every day. We didn’t think too much about it until we got it out in the field and saw that there was some reaction,” he said.

South Carolina exit poll asks if blacks are 'too demanding in their push for equal rights'
 


An exit poll in South Carolina asked voters questions that some describe as "overt racism" and "shameful," on a day the state elected the first African-American senator in the South since the Reconstruction Era.

"Blacks are getting too demanding in their push for equal rights. Agree or disagree?," the poll asked. Another posed if blacks needed to "try harder" to "be as well off as whites."

One woman who took the poll wrote of her initial excitement after being approached — she had heard so much about exit polls on TV — only to offended by the "deceptive" questions.


I know there are other people who took the poll and were offended and as confused as I was. Concerned citizens must stand up to people in our community who don’t seem to realize the impact these racist questions will have, especially on people of color. We were told this was an exit poll, not a survey about race, and that in itself is deceptive.

However, it turns out that the poll was worded this way on purpose. Researchers took the questions, word for word, from the Modern Racism Scale — a psychological test developed in 1986 that can be used to determine an individual's inherent discriminations.

The political science researchers who conducted the poll say they administer this type of study often, and they were surprised at the anger to their questions in this latest round.

“We do this every day. We didn't think too much about it until we got it out in the field and saw that there was some reaction,” said David Woodard, a political science professor at Clemson University, in an interview with Spartanburg news site WSPA.

“You had liberals getting offended. You had conservatives getting offended. It was all over the place,” added Paul White Jr., a doctoral candidate in political science from University of South Carolina.

“It was designed to take advantage of a political moment of Senator Tim Scott's election as the first African-American from a southern state since reconstruction,” Woodard explained. “It was not designed to be provocative.”

So are they too demanding.? Well lets see 12% of the population but want a much larger representation in businesses, schools, colleges, TV and movies, sports??? and a greater influence in politics. (Black Caucus) Where they are over represented of course is in the violent crime stats from every major city in the US.

This concept of free online Punjabi songs gained immense popularity during 2006 and since then it has increased membership and subscriptions most of times. Online music is the most awesome source of enjoyment. Without listening free mp3 songs life would be dull and dry. Everybody loves to listen free mp3 online songs and since ages it has been the most integral part of our lives.
