Abstract: When racial status becomes an uncontrollable obstacle to social mobility, one important reaction is hostility toward the dominant group. Since overt hostility is severely punished in the South, it must often be covert. From this level, it gains one avenue of expression in the Negro conceptions of white people. These data reveal that lower-class Negroes are more unfavorable in their stereotyped conceptions of white people than either the middle or the upper classes and that middle-class Negroes possess the most favorable conceptions.
