Many white Americans now believe that their hierarchical standing is being threatened by minority groups, leading them to support political forces that would help ‘restore the status of whiteness,’ a new study claims. Through a series of online experiments, a Stanford University sociologist found that heightened levels of racial resentment were tied to greater support for the Tea Party in white participants. The study suggests that the perceived ‘decline of whiteness’ prompts some to align with platforms that condemn minority groups – and they say this mindset may be at play in the rise of Donald Trump. Scroll down for video Through a series of online experiments, a Stanford University sociologist found that heightened levels of racial resentment were tied to greater support for the Tea Party. Pictured above, protesters gather to oppose the arrival of buses carrying undocumented migrants in 2014 According to Stanford professor of sociology Robb Willer, this trend began with the election of President Obama in 2008 and grew through the Great Recession, along with the rising political influence of minorities in America. The team, which also included Matthew Feinberg of the University of Toronto and Rachel Wetts of the University of California, Berkeley, conducted five survey-based online experiments involving 1,329 participants. In the first, white participants were shown altered photos of President Obama. Those who viewed an artificially darkened picture of Obama were more likely to express their support for the Tea Party, at 22 percent, compared with those who were shown a lightened photo, at just 12 percent. According to Willer, the findings suggest the ‘threats’ to racial status have caused some to turn to support for the Tea Party, and likely Trump, based on their advocacy of certain policies, including restrictions on immigration, opposition to Obama, militant positions toward Muslim nations. Tea Party demonstrators pictured 'And there is good reason to think that many of the same psychological forces propelling Tea Party support also propel support for Trump’s candidacy. Indeed, Trump’s statements probably go further in criticizing minority groups than the Tea Party did.' ‘What was largely implicit in the case of the Tea Party has become more explicit in the case of Trump’s candidacy’ Willer said.

The researcher says these policies would help to 'restore the standing of whites in America.'

The researcher says these policies would help to 'restore the standing of whites in America.' The white race is failing because of the selective massive immigration of people selectively chosen for their social and genetic inferiority and incompatability. The white race's perception of it to be suppressed and intimidated by calling it racism. It was the strategy designed many years ago by the Frankfurt School under Lucacs and Gramsci with the ultimate goal of destroying Western civilization. The strategy has been applied very succesfully over decades. Europe is now on its last legs and America is being set up for the final kill.
.... it is addicted to the fantasy of sex-without-consequences, and in pursuit of that chimera has contracepted and aborted 38 million of its own children over the past 50 years. The resulting demographic hole has been filled by others, and will continue to be filled by others. Demographics is destiny. The White Race somehow believes that it will remain in possession of a land that it refuses to fill. Instead, the whites age and age, while the Hispanics have many children and immigrate. Trump's wall will slow the trend, but the Pope got it right all of those years ago: choose contraception, choose death - in this case, the death of the race.

Does the Pope have a way to feed an exploding population absent contraception?
