When you only ask 4 questions it can be...what were the four questions? Usually they ask a few more than that. The divide between "average racial resentment" and "low racial resentment" could easily come down to their opinion of affirmative action. Never trust someone who's selling a book

Here's a thoughtful counter-post to the study:

The conclusion, again, is that the question "Is opposition to Obama based on race?" does not have a simple answer. Racial resentment definitely exists in America today, but it's more polarized along party lines than it has been in a long time. Many people who do not like blacks oppose Obama, but they would likely oppose him even if he were white since they're Republicans.
That's what I said, I was just more concise
