Showing the Millennial Generation Still Faces Racial and Religious Tension Video
According to the Millennial Values Survey, young Millennials are divided on whether the government has paid too much attention to the problems of blacks and other minorities in the past few decades, and half of young Millennials agree that discrimination against whites has become as big a problem today as discrimination against blacks. Many Millennials also hold a negative view of Christianity. Two-thirds of all religiously unaffilliated Millennials described Christianity as judgmental and hypocritical, while half of all Christian Millennials said the same about their own religion. In this video, Millennial Values Fellows Abigail Clauhs and Jelani Harvey discuss the racial and religious tensions facing the Millennial generation and encourage the use of truthful, authentic dialogue instead of political rhetoric to address these issues.
