        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
