Breaking News! Poll: Whites and Republicans Rank as Angriest Americans

[IDemo]

Nearly half of Americans are angry, and no groups are angrier than whites and Republicans, according to a new NBC News/Survey Monkey/Esquire online poll about outrage in the country.

Overall, 49 percent of Americans said they find themselves feeling angrier now about current events than they were one year ago. Whites are the angriest, with 54 percent saying they have grown more outraged over the past year. That's more than Latinos (43 percent) and African-Americans (33 percent).

Seventy-three percent of whites said they get angry at least once per day, compared with 66 percent of Hispanics and 56 percent of blacks.

The poll also found Republicans are angrier than Democrats. Sixty-one percent of Republicans say current events irk them more today than a year ago, compared to 42 percent of Democrats.

3. And it's killing them early

so it's not all bad.

20. The Poll said women are angrier than men.

Is that why they die earlier? Oh, wait...

4. Anybody got that poster handy of Obama sipping a soda, entitled "U mad bro?"

That pretty much sums a lot up...

P.S. I did that on Facebook when I was arguing with a republican (before I put him on my ban list) and even he laughed...

[bvf]

5. Here ya go...

[CTyankee]

6. how do you do that once you find the poster? I'd love to know...

[bvf]

9. Open the image in a new browser window

and copy and paste the web address into the message text box.

As long as:

It's NOT encrypted (the word "encrypted" will appear in the URL and will start with "https&quot

and

The URL doesn't start with "data:"

it should work just fine. Preview your post to confirm, first.

There may be ways around the above exceptions, but I'm not aware of them.

Hope this helps.

11. Oh, that explains why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't...

I was wondering because I was doing that.

So did you find that image on Google and copy it off from one of the websites it offers?

[bvf]

13. Yep. if you want to see the URL

the image came from, open the image (right-click on a PC*, or press and hold, then select "open image" on an Android). That'll open a new window with the image address.

You can "recycle" the image by copying this address and pasting as you normally would.

*IIRC--It's been a while since I was on a PC, and exclusively use a phone these days.

16. OK. Thanks a bunch!

[bvf]

19. YW.

[CTyankee]

7. It's official. I'm angry.

most of the stuff is related to social justice issues and I wish MORE people were angrier or at least paying ATTENTION to what is going on. Caitlyn Jenner making folks mad? Really?

8. They are the angriest because they have no experience in tempering their emotions.

They get to express their full range of emotions in public without fear of reprisal.

So, yes, I would be concerned what they might do next because this can only get worse.

12. angry voters vote

builds gop turnout every time

[hughee99]

14. Sorry, you lost me at "online poll".

History has taught me that anything written after that is someone's opinion with some questionable data used to try to support it.

[47of74]

15. Yeah, how true.

There are some things that heat up and even boil my water but I don't go through my days with more hatred and angry than Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, and Kylo Ren put together as many of these old nasty Republicans do.

[Number23]

17. Gasp!

[former9thward]

18. Woman are angrier than men.

And in what may come as a surprise to some, women slightly edge out men in their outrage, 53 percent to 44 percent. Fifty-eight percent of white women say they are angrier compared to 44 percent of non-white women.

Sorta goes against the 'angry white man' meme we always are told about. That was even left off of the OP headline...

21. Lots of folks seeing that privilege slipping away

I am not a bit surprised

[NightWatcher]

22. If current events make you angry (especially because they don't affect or involve you), ...

Maybe you need to step away from the real reason for your anger, stop watching the angry "news" channel and stop listening to angry white guys on the radio who tell you to be angry all the time.

I've been concerned, saddened, and dismayed by events but rarely am I angry.
