NPR recently conducted a survey where they asked 802 black Americans whether they believed discrimination against black people exists in the U.S. today. The results are absolutely no surprise to us.

Of those who participated in the survey, 92 percent said they believed discrimination against black Americans exist in the U.S. Out of all the people surveyed, at least half of them said they had personally experienced racial discrimination in being paid equally or promoted at work, when they applied for jobs or in their encounters with law enforcement.

According to NPR, those surveyed recalled various levels of discrimination in different situations. For example, answers differed when asked whether discrimination as a result from individual bias was a bigger problem.

"Among the folks who said that discrimination existed, exactly half of all respondents felt the discrimination that black people face from individual people was a bigger cause for concern. But younger people were more likely to say they felt that institutional discrimination was a bigger concern."

The study also highlights how bias can be right in our scope without our realizing. At times, some of us may be met with said discrimination but did not notice. It can come in the form of equal pay, job promotion, “professional grooming advice” regarding your “ethnic” hair, etc.

NPR's survey also covered how black people felt about their neighborhoods, personal experience with discrimination and policing and criminal justice.

"At least half of the respondents said they had experienced discrimination or unfair stops or treatment by the police. Gender mattered here: Men were more likely than women to say that they had personally experienced discrimination in encounters with the police."

NPR states that age also mattered in the area of policing and criminal justice. "Younger people were much more likely than people 65 or older to say that they or a family member had been unfairly stopped or treated by the police because they were black.

Once again, another study proves what we already know about discrimination and racism in this country. Read more results from NPR's survey.
