A new NPR poll finds that a majority of white Americans believe they face discrimination in America today… “If you apply for a job, they seem to give the blacks the first crack at it,” said 68-year-old Tim Hershman of Akron, Ohio, “and, basically, you know, if you want any help from the government, if you’re white, you don’t get it. If you’re black, you get it.” As NPR reports, more than half of whites – 55 percent – surveyed say that, generally speaking, they believe there is discrimination against white people in America today.
Hershman’s view is similar to what was heard on the campaign trail at Trump rally after Trump rally. Donald Trump catered to white grievance during the 2016 presidential campaign and has done so as president as well.
