Penn St. professor to speak
on race factors in elections
Ur. Kny Fleming, professor of
comparative literature and
black, studios at Pennsylvania
State University, will speak
about racial factors in presiden
tial politics this afternoon at
2:30 in 332 Gilbert Hall.
‘Til try to examine the role
of race in determining how
ptx)ple voto in American presi
dential elections,'' Fleming
said. “I’m interested in show
ing how race functions as a
kind of silent ideology that
shapes people’s choices.
“I'd like to show how the so
called issues becomo non-is
sues in the face of raciul con
siderations.”
White voters tend to see Re
publican's as more In tune with
their ideologies, ho said.
"Tho fact that five of the last
six presidents have boon Re
publican tells us something
about tho national appeal of Re
publican candidates to tho
white electorate, given the fact
that preference is reversed in
blacks," riemlng said, noting
that blacks vote overwhelming
ly in favor for Democrats.
“The reality of American
presidential elections indicates
that tho so-called gender gap is
inconsequential in the face of
race issues,” be said." Race is a
bigger factor in determining a
presidential race than gender.”
Homing's locture, sponsored
by the Office of Affirmative Ac
tion. is open to everyone.
