Public Opinion - African-american–white Relations

When asked in a Gallup poll of June 2004 about relations between African-Americans and whites, 68 percent of Americans maintained that relations were "somewhat" or "very" good. While whites are more likely than African-Americans to perceive relations as satisfactory, only 13 percent of blacks considered relations "very bad." Interestingly, older Americans are more likely to view relations as satisfactory, probably because they remember the violent racial unrest of the 1960s.
