Most Black Americans Believe Racial Conspiracy Theories About U.S. Institutions
Pew Research ^ | JUNE 10, 2024 | Kiana Cox

Posted on 06/11/2024 5:35:32 AM PDT by Zhang Fei

Most Black adults say the prison (74%), political (67%) and economic (65%) systems in the U.S., among others, are designed to hold Black people back, according to a new Pew Research Center survey in September 2023.

For example, 82% of Black adults say they have heard the following racial conspiracy theory about the prison system: Black people are more likely than White people to be incarcerated because prisons want to make money on the backs of Black people. Many Black adults (74%) say this racial conspiracy theory is true and happening in the U.S. today.

For this report, we surveyed 4,736 Black adults in the U.S. from Sept. 12 to 24, 2023, in English and Spanish. Here are some other key findings about Black Americans and racial conspiracy theories.

About seven-in-ten Black Americans say the criminal justice system was designed to hold Black people back. 76% of Black adults say the racial conspiracy theory that Black public officials are singled out and discredited in a way that doesn’t happen to White public officials is true and happening today.

About two-thirds (67%) of Black Americans say racial conspiracy theories in business, in the form of targeted marketing of luxury products to Black people in order to bankrupt them, are true and happening today.

55% of Black adults say racial conspiracy theories in the form of secret and nonconsensual medical experiments like the Tuskegee study are true and happening to Black people today.

55% of Black adults say the racial conspiracy theory that the government encourages single motherhood and the elimination of Black men from Black families is true and happening today.

51% of Black adults say the racial conspiracy theory that the government promotes birth control and abortion to reduce the size of the Black population is true and happening today.

You and I seem to be the only people who are considering that they may have a point.

It was Trump’s treatment that turned me around.

That’s what’s drilled into their heads for approximately 20 years of schooling and throughout the MSM. What else should we expect?

The black ghetto gang culture is sick and any kid growing up in that culture has a tough row to hoe. Only if that kid uses his brain to figure things out for himself will that kid have a good life.

I grew up in the feminist victim white culture and had to use my brain to figure things out for myself and have a good life.

People need to use their brains.

I think they are more off target than wrong. The RATS are all in for destabilizing and brainwashing blacks with abortion, welfare, CRT, DIE, etc with the goal of keeping racism alive rather than bringing the country together.

What if both are true?

What if the fact crime is far more likely to be committed by blacks, ALSO creates a confirmation bias... which causes unjust behavior?

I saw what they did to Trump. It has thoroughly shaken my faith in a just legal system.

Well why not?

It's taught in the schools at all levels from kindergarten to graduate school.

That’s politics, not racism, of course.

You could check out Roland Fryer’s work and experience on finding popular racist-treatment tropes to be false.

Point by point:
70% of Black Americans say the criminal justice system was designed to hold Black people back. Correct, insofar as the parts of the CJ system that effect blacks. We can all, B&W, thank God for it.

76% of Black adults say the racial conspiracy theory that Black public officials are singled out and discredited in a way that doesn’t happen to White public officials is true and happening today. Mostly correct. It’s because Black thieving scoundrels tend to be stupider, and operate in cruder, more outrageous, easier to catch, ways than white thieving scoundrels.

About two-thirds (67%) of Black Americans say racial conspiracy theories in business, in the form of targeted marketing of luxury products to Black people in order to bankrupt them, are true and happening today. The predicate is true; they target everyone with money, and the lower the IQ the more attrtive the mark. But the purpose is to make money off selling things; businesses have no interest in bankrupting the customers, which stops borrowers from having to pay back what they owe, and temporarily stops their profligate spending.

55% of Black adults say racial conspiracy theories in the form of secret and nonconsensual medical experiments like the Tuskegee study are true and happening to Black people today. I doubt this one, but there is a greater concern now than in the past for making sure tests are inclusive of ethnic groups and genders. That might cause suspicion due to hyped up awareness of past horrors. (How many other cases than the Tuskegee Syphilis Study can anyone name?)

55% of Black adults say the racial conspiracy theory that the government encourages single motherhood and the elimination of Black men from Black families is true and happening today. Correct. That is the result of federal policy. Let’s end “public assistance” to stop this outrage.

51% of Black adults say the racial conspiracy theory that the government promotes birth control and abortion to reduce the size of the Black population is true and happening today. False regarding the reason.

Black men need to get back into the family household. For years, a lot of black women have been raising their kids alone because the fathers aren’t part of their kids lives. Mothers and fathers, both part of the family unit makes for stronger kids, more stable kids and better learning abilities. Not saying black mothers are not good, just that raising kids alone is very hard and women have to have really strong love and hope and discipline in order to get their children to adulthood and into a good life. I blame the welfare state that forced fathers out of the house so the mothers could get more benefits for their kids. You kinda can’t blame them and it has become a way of life.

All Americans should watch the great video that Chris Rock did some years ago that's referred to as "Black People vs Niggaz".

He starts it off by saying "I love black people but I hate niggaz". He goes on to detail some of the things that "niggaz" do that he hates. Very courageous and very well done,IMO. And the audience appeared to be largely black...and they loved it.

Blacks as a group of people engage is self-destructive Tribalism and it results in over 70% of their live born children not knowing who their father’s were.

When a Community WILL NOT even protect it’s young women and the Tribalism is so strong that CHILD RAPE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF MOTHERHOOD...

The dirty little secret is that the Step Daddy, Mom’s boyfriend, or the kid down the street, even Mom’s brother will have sex with her children while she entrusts them to another adult when she has to be away. Everyone knows if it was the Step Dad/Brother, the Uncle or boyfriend, or the neighbor. They all know. DNA TESTING WILL CAPTURE THIS DATA ONCE THE DATA BASES HAVE THE THAT OF THE MEN. IN 12-15 YEARS, THIS BLACK CULTURAL CRIME COULD BE ERIDACTATED. Young girls in grade 7-12 do not dare expose the perps.

LOW IQ people and Substance Abusers cannot comprehend their demands result in more crime.

Angry people who allow this to happen to their daughters is an epidemic of mental illness, and self-hatred. The adults need to be held accountable.

Clean up the DNA Databases, and those people who match within a 30 mile radius can be further tested in the name of public safety. Exposing these Child Rapists is only part of the solution; the rest is putting them behind bars and if they have assets seize them to raise the child.
