Rassistische Ressentiments spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Förderung konservativer politischer Überzeugungen unter weißen Amerikanern, die nicht religiös konservativ sind. Das Hegen rassistischer Ressentiments ist ein Beweis für einen konservativen politischen Wandel unter weißen religiösen Gemäßigten, Liberalen und nichtreligiösen Personen.

How racial resentment relates to political conservatism across different White religious groups
A recent study published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion suggests that racial resentment plays a major role in driving conservative political beliefs among White Americans who are not religiously conservative. While White religious conservatives tend to support right-leaning policies regardless of their racial attitudes, harboring racial resentment provides evidence of a conservative political shift among White religious moderates, liberals, and nonreligious individuals.
The data revealed that White evangelical Protestants and those who view the Bible as the literal word of God tend to be highly politically conservative. “White evangelicals are highly likely to be politically conservative, so much so that there is little difference in the likelihood of being politically conservative between those with higher and lower levels of racial resentment,” Schwadel said. “We refer to this as a ceiling effect.”
“In other words, racial resentment cannot explain differences in the likelihood of being politically conservative among white evangelicals because they are almost all politically conservative,” Schwadel noted. For non-evangelical White Americans, the pattern looks quite different.
“Non-evangelical white Americans, on the other hand, are not particularly likely to be politically conservative,” Schwadel explained. “But, non-evangelical whites with higher levels of racial resentment are far more likely to be politically conservative than non-evangelical whites with lower levels of racial resentment.”
The study provides evidence that among White mainline Protestants, Catholics, affiliates of other religions, and nonreligious individuals, racial resentment is a strong predictor of conservative political views. “Looking at it another way, among those with low levels of racial resentment, white evangelicals are far more likely than white non-evangelicals to be politically conservative,” Schwadel added.
“Among those with high levels of racial resentment, there is little to no difference in the likelihood of being politically conservative between white evangelical and non-evangelical Americans,” Schwadel said. When people in moderate or liberal religious categories express high levels of racial prejudice, their political orientation closely matches the conservatism of evangelical Protestants.

Man so many comments that would be entirely accurate but deleted…
I am shocked. Shocked, I say. This only aligns with every person’s lived experience.
No. Really. Egads. It can’t be. Shocking. Incredible. My mind is blown.
You can’t be a conservative in the United States without having a massive victim complex. Decades of right wing talk radio and TV media have just reinforced that complex.
That’s me. Irreligious, educated, and willing to vote for whatever hard-right candidate gets put in front of me. Every other racial group practices racial politics, seems stupid not to do so as well.
Racial resentment? You can just say evil.
Racial resentment is evil.
Not all white conservatives are racists, but most white racists are conservatives.
Checks out.
The middle class saw the deterioration of American values and thought fascism would save them. The tech oligarchs were promised Neo-feudalism. What everyone got was a fat crook who is dismantling our country.

>To measure racial resentment, the study used a combination of four specific survey questions. These questions asked whether Black Americans should have to overcome prejudice without special favors, whether a lack of motivation causes racial inequality, and whether discrimination is to blame for racial disparities. A final question asked participants to rate how hardworking or lazy they perceived different racial groups to be.
What an excellent study with no issues whatsoever.
I am a PoC who studies white rural conservative American history and culture and lives near ranches in rural NorCal and from my time interacting with them, many of them will only tolerate PoCs if they „conform“ to their „culture“.
The worst part is that their resentment is misdirected. Powerless minorities are not responsible for the crumbling of society
So racists are more likely to be conservative? No one could have *possibly* predicted this!
This is a new study in a line of garbage psychology on „racial resentment“.
In this field, for those uninitiated, both
1. believing everyone should be treated equally regardless of race and
2. believing it is possible to succeed without outside help as a minority
are counted as evidence of racial resentment because that would mean you might disagree with the need for and justification for affirmative action.
As if there could be no other reasons for doing so except racism.
The authors start from the point of assuming affirmative action is both good, necessary and justified, and just assert that everyone who disagrees is a racist.
Ok.
Can anyone explain what exactly whites would have resentment with other races about?
So… racism? What s this the new way to say racism? Trying to make it less heinous somehow? I don’t know if this is a new term but it sounds like the same thing to me. I don’t like it.
crack, you should stop smoking it
This is nothing new in history. It is one of „[The Ten Pillars of Fascism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Fascism_Works#Content:_the_ten_pillars_of_fascism).“
> 6. Victimhood: Fascist politics blurs the line between equality and discrimination, portraying the dominant group as victims of a hidden conspiracy.
Good thing “racial resentment” doesn’t play a central role in democrat politics!
The racism fires are stoked by income inequality. If income was not so drastically unequal in the US, racism wouldn’t be such a huge problem
Pure science everyone
Investigating and reporting on the „exact chain of cause and effect“ seems like it should be a very high priority for future research. My personal belief is that racism is encouraged by both dire economic conditions and propaganda designed to scapegoat other marginalized groups in order to politically and financially benefit a small fraction of the population. It has certainly worked effectively in the past.
>One limitation is that the study relies on survey data taken at specific points in time. This makes it difficult to determine the exact chain of cause and effect. It remains unknown whether changes in a person’s religious affiliation lead to changes in their racial attitudes over time, or if shifting political or racial beliefs prompt people to leave or join certain religious communities.
>Future research should examine participants over longer periods to see how these beliefs evolve over a lifetime. Tracking individuals as they age would help scientists understand the pathways that link faith, prejudice, and voting behavior. Researchers could also benefit from using alternative measures of racism to see if the same patterns hold true across different forms of prejudice.
You have to give the lemmings something to hate in order to get them to vote against their own interests. That’s why there’s a sudden push to hate trans people despite being such a small portion of the population and despite the existance of trans people have been a non-issue for decades. People started becoming a little more tolerant of gays and lesbians, so you have to roll out something new for them to all hate.
