The Myth of White Democrats Being the Most ‘Woke’

Meredith Conroy and Perry Bacon Jr.: “The broader finding here is clear: White Democrats — definitely before Floyd was killed but most likely afterward too — are more circumspect about ideas promoting racial equality that might be disruptive to the status quo for white people.”

“You should be skeptical of stories that suggest white Democrats are very ‘woke’ on policy matters of substance, or even more concerned about racial inequality than Black Americans are.”

“That doesn’t seem true — at least not yet, whether you are reading polls or visiting a public school.”
