VAR CF0821 DO MOST BLACKS FAVOR DESEGREGATION COLUMNS 525 - 525 NUMERIC MD EQ 0 OR GE 9 In general, how many of the black people (1964,1968,1970: Negroes) in this area would you say are in favor of desegregation -- all of them, most of them, about half, less than half of them, or none of them? ------------------------------------------------------------------- USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B. Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B must be used if distributions including 1970 data are desired: see VCF0011. Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A/VCF0011B as a weight reduces the 1970 total N for this variable: form 2 whites who should appear as code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N. In 1964, this question was preceded by 7 questions about the racial composition of R's neighborhood, nearest grade school, nearest junior high school, nearest high school, co-workers, friends and of the people where R shops and trades. If the responses to these 7 questions did not reveal the presence of any black people, then this question was not asked, and VCF0821 has been coded 0. In 1968-1972,1976 use of this question was not predicated upon responses to other questions, but an inap code "no blacks in area" was present and is represented in code 0. 1. None of them 2. Less than half 3. About half 4. Most of them 5. All of them 9. DK 0. NA; INAP, no blacks in R's area; question not used 1964: 125 1968: 86 1970: 74(type 2) 1972: 116 1976: 3215 ==============================
