PEW revises 'racial conspiracy theories' report after backlash...
In the report released June 10 titled “Most Black Americans Believe Racial Conspiracy Theories About U.S. Institutions,” Pew detailed “the suspicions that Black adults might have about the actions of U.S. institutions based on their personal and collective historical experiences with racial discrimination.” Survey respondents highlighted issues such as discrimination in the medical field, incarceration, and guns and drugs in Black communities. ... Pew released the revised report Saturday with a new title: “Most Black Americans Believe U.S. Institutions Were Designed To Hold Black People Back.” The updated report includes a new headline, additional context and direct quotes from respondents.
It must infuriate Robin DiAngelo that Pew capitalizes "white" lol.
The crackpot beliefs are still there for all to see:
- 76% of Black adults say Black public officials today are singled out to be discredited in a way that doesn’t happen to White public officials.
- 76% say police today do very little to stop guns and drugs from flooding Black communities.
- 74% say Black people are more likely than White people to be incarcerated because prisons want to make money on the backs of Black people today.
- 67% of Black Americans say businesses today target marketing of luxury products to Black people in order to put them into debt.
- 55% of Black adults say secret and nonconsensual medical experiments (like the Tuskegee study) are happening to Black people today.
- 55% of Black adults say the government today encourages single motherhood and the elimination of Black men from Black families.
- 51% of Black adults say the government promotes birth control and abortion to reduce the size of the Black population, and this is happening today.
