Despite U.S. President George W. Bush team's race to pose with black church ladies and black mayors and black children enrolled at failing inner-city schools, a recent Gallup poll shows African-American optimism about race relations is lower than it was thirty-five years ago. While seven out of ten whites say that blacks and whites are treated the same, a similar number of blacks say that blacks and whites are treated very differently. The poll also shows that since President Bush's election, blacks have grown substantially more pessimistic about their political future, even as 70 percent felt positive about their personal lives.
