My parents were very open minded and would not tolerate any racial or religious remarks toward minorities. But we saw in school that for the most part the black students were low achievers except in sports and sometimes music. They also seemed to walk around with a chip on their shoulders. Then in college we never saw black students. When the company I worked for was forced by law to hire minorities most of them were clearly not up to job requirements and just for show. Then they got promotions over better qualified whites which was unfair.(two wrongs don’t make a right). Many of them went on welfare at taxpayers expense and the fathers left home. The athletes like OJ seemed to always get in trouble with the law . The rap music had a theme of violence and hatred of women. So there you have a few reasons while many whites have a low opinion of blacks. This is unfortunate because there are some very smart blacks who contribute to society and they should be in the news not the protesters. But the media hates our country and uses and encourages blacks to be their pawns.

Well stated! Your experiences and observations parallel mine.
