The most interesting part of that survey to me was in the second section where they asked the races to explain the races' inequality. In the third square of the graph it shows that black people believe more in inborn abilities' affect on their own attainment than white people do. Similarly the numbers for lack of will and motivation are really close. I would like to see a similar survey conducted with white people's explanation for their 'success' as well to see what is the accepted explanation for that. Isn't it perverse how black people have had a narrative created for them that now they are beginning to believe in similarly to bigots?
