自2012年以来，美国重新关注警察杀害种族和少数民族的行为，并抗议此类暴力行为。此外，最近的民调数据显示，美国黑人和白人对警察暴力和抗议的长期态度分歧加剧。在这里，我们回顾最近的民意调查以及我们自己的一系列实验，以阐明对警察暴力和抗议的关注、态度和反应方面的种族分歧(例如，黑人的生命也是如此)。此外，我们报告了对抗议图像描述(N=195)的语言分析，表明黑人参与者比白人更好地理解这些抗议的原因(d=.30)，并更积极地(d=.38)看待它们。如果我们希望就如何处理警察暴力和抗议警察暴力达成共识，我们必须理解种族的社会政治现实如何以及为什么导致对这些问题的不同看法。
Since 2012, the United States has seen a renewed focus on police killings of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as protest against such violence. Moreover, recent polling data show an intensification of long-standing differences in Black and White Americans' attitudes toward police violence and protest. Here, we review recent polling, as well as our own series of experiments, to elucidate racial divides in attention, attitudes, and reactions to police violence and protest against it (e.g., Black Lives Matter). In addition, we report linguistic analyses of descriptions (N = 195) of protest images, showing that Black participants better understand the causes of these protests (d = .30) and view them more positively (d = .38) than Whites. If we wish for consensus on how to address police violence and protest against it, we must understand how and why the sociopolitical reality of race leads to divergent views of these issues.
