Extreme views adopted by some local, state and federal political leaders who try to limit what history can be taught in schools and seek to undermine how Black officials perform their jobs are among the top threats to democracy for Black Americans, the National Urban League says.
Marc Morial, the former New Orleans mayor who leads the civil rights and urban advocacy organization, cited the most recent example: the vote this month by the Republican-controlled Tennessee House to oust two Black representatives for violating a legislative rule. The pair had participated in a gun control protest inside the chamber after the shooting that killed three students and three staff members at a Nashville school.
The Urban League's annual State of Black America report being released Saturday draws on data and surveys from a number of organizations, including the UCLA Law School, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. The collective findings reveal an increase in recent years in hate crimes and efforts to change classroom curriculums, attempts to make voting more difficult and extremist views being normalized in politics, the military and law enforcement.
Director Taifha Alexander said the Forward Tracking Project, part of the UCLA Law School, began in response to the backlash that followed the protests of the George Floyd killing in 2020 and an executive order that year from then-President Donald Trump restricting diversity training.
Rachel Carroll Rivas, deputy director of research with the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project, said when all the activities are tabulated, including hate crimes, rhetoric, incidents of discrimination and online disinformation, "we see a very clear and concerning threat to America and a disproportionate impact on Black Americans."

It’s the tired cackle of the proggy bird: “DemoCRACY!”... “DemoCRACY!”...
If they are not free to vote exactly the way they are told, it’s a tragedy. /s
Daily Crisis: April 15, 2023: Democracy for black Americans is under Attack.
Stay tuned for tomorrows addition of Daily Crisis!
Is the article trying to prepare us to accept reparations?
It isn’t working.
BS. All 3 insurrectionists would have been booted, but a Republican was bribed to vote no on the white female to gin up an anti-black racism argument.
Spread this report on the roses.
“Report finds democracy for Black Americans is under attack”
Report finds democracy for Americans is under attack
There, fixed it
who will stop FakeNewsMSM from continuing to capitalize Black, but not “white”. plenty of examples of both in this article. it was an AP invention, which means it was approved by the entire MSM.
it needs to STOP.
Oh my goodness! What total b.s. Black Americans now have every advantage and many do not have to work for any of those advantages. They have their housing and food paid for each month, do not have to work if they do not wish to, and can seldom be charged with a crime.
Also, I’m getting tired of the left and the media pretending we have a “democracy” form of government. They wish for mob-rule and are insisting they receive it.
Oh shut up already.
Typical.
Whoever contrived that article at SeeBS didn’t identify him/her/themselves.
I wonder why ?
It seems that “Democracy for Black Americans” is genocide of white Americans.
Report says...
Unnamed sources says...
Study’s say...
When I see an article begin with these, I pretty much assume everything following is a steaming pile of excrement.
