I believe it. I see them on TV mourning that there business have been lost do to the rioting. I had a feeling this might be the case.
The majority of the destruction is in black neighborhoods, businesses owned by blacks, and frequented by blacks. I posted a couple of Twitter videos I got from a White House email. Two black women speaking about the devastation in their neighborhoods. The first is a black women who has no where to go now that they've destroyed The Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and other stores they she always relied on. She has no way to get anywhere else, because the buses are all shut down. The second video is of an older black woman who was part owner in a shop the looters destroyed. She showed what the looters did to her business, and the pile of rubble she removed from the store. She and her friends...other blacks are all pissed over what has happened, and are calling out BLM.
And those business that were destroyed are where they go to get groceries, prescriptions and just about every other daily item that is on most people's daily or weekly shopping list.
Now, they must go find those things further away from home, costing them more time and potentially costing them more money.
The riots and the destruction that resulted don't have the same negative affects on the Hollywood elitists or the sports figures making millions of dollars while living in gated communities having their groceries bought and delivered for them.
That 40% number probably isn't 100% accurate of course...but the mere fact that a major pollster put 40% out there...instead of say, 4%, is pretty major and probably indicative of what's to come.
