        1986,1990,1994:  In past studies we have asked people why they think  
        white people seem to get more of the good things in life in America-- 
        such as better jobs and more money--than black people do.  These are  
        some of the reasons given by both blacks and whites.  Please tell me  
        whether you agree or disagree with each reason as to why white people 
        seem to get more of the good things in life.  (RESPONDENT BOOKLET     
        SHOWN TO R).

        'Generations of slavery and discrimination have created conditions

        class.'
