Whites far more likely than blacks to say we will eventually achieve equality
About eight-in-ten blacks say we haven’t gone far enough in giving blacks equal rights with whites
Vast gaps between white Republicans, Democrats on views of treatment of blacks
Whites and blacks don’t see eye to eye on whether blacks are treated less fairly in a variety of settings
Most say blacks are treated less fairly by police and justice system; less agreement over other situations
White Democrats much more likely than white Republicans to say discrimination is a major obstacle for black people
Majorities who think blacks are at a disadvantage say racial discrimination, less access to good schools or jobs are major obstacles for blacks
Half or more say being poor, Muslim, black or Hispanic puts people at a disadvantage in our society
Nonwhites, Democrats more likely to see advantages to being white
Blacks about twice as likely as any other racial or ethnic group to say legacy of slavery affects blacks’ position today a great deal
About two-thirds of blacks, Asians say being black hurts people’s ability to get ahead
