A thought-provoking look at how racial resentment, rather than
racial prejudice alone, motivate a growing resistance among whites
to improve the circumstances faced by racial minorities. In Racial
Resentment in the Political Mind, Darren W. Davis and David C.
Wilson challenge the commonly held notion that all racial
negativity, disagreements, and objections to policies that seek to
help racial minorities stem from racial prejudice. They argue that
racial resentment arises from just-world beliefs and appraisals of
deservingness that help explain the persistence of racial
inequality in America in ways more consequential than racism or
racial prejudice alone. The culprits, as many White people see it,
are undeserving people of color, who are perceived to benefit
unfairly from, and take advantage of, resources that come at
Whites' expense-a worldview in which any attempt at modest change
is seen as a challenge to the status quo and privilege. Yet, as
Davis and Wilson reveal, many Whites have become racially resentful
due to their perceptions that African Americans skirt the "rules of
the game" and violate traditional values by taking advantage of
unearned resources. Resulting attempts at racial progress lead
Whites to respond in ways that retain their social
advantage-opposing ameliorative policies, minority candidates, and
other advancement on racial progress. Because racial resentment is
rooted in beliefs about justice, fairness, and deservingness,
ordinary citizens, who may not harbor racist motivations, may wind
up in the same political position as racists, but for different
reasons.
