Despite the turbulence of the late sixties, attitudes of white Americans towards desegregation continued to change almost as though nothing was happening. Even though there is some evidence in the National Opinion Research Center data of a negative reaction to black militancy, this negative reaction has not impeded the increase in proportion of the American population willing to endorse pro-integration attitudes. The integration of transportation is virtually no longer an issue in the United States. However, integration of schools is still very much an issue, even though now in the North more than eight out of every 10 respondents endorse school integration. Since 1956, the proportion of Southern whites accepting school integration increased by 32 percentage points so that now almost half of Southern whites are in favor of it, and almost three-quarters of the total national population believe in integrated schools. There is no evidence of greater opposition to integration on the part of the white ethnic. However, those "threatened" by blacks with respect to competition for housing and jobs do show a lower level of support for integration. If the extent to which Americans are now somewhat more likely to say that Negroes should not push where they are not wanted is a measure of negative response to black militancy, such a response is fairly evenly distributed in the Northern American population.
