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.

It's kind of hard to overlook it if it is mixed in with the Word of God and screamed aloud every Sunday.
It’s never ‘their’ fault.
...but most now understand that the Demagogic Party is an equal opportunity oppressor, abusing the legal system to railroad people into bankruptcy and/or prison.
Of course! That’s what they have been told their ENTIRE lives.
The other day I was at a pool with over 120 people and 3 of them were black. There were not any problems at all and no one was treated any differently.
I did tell my wife, “You have to hand it to them. There is no way I would go to a pool party if these numbers were reversed.”
“You mean O.J. was set up?”
O.J. didn’t do it, his son did it and you can check that all out on YouTube or other sites, but they never did a DNA sample on his son or it wasn’t tested and it has led several investigators to believe that it was a cover-up because OJ did not want his son going to jail.
They’ve had these ideas driven into their brains the second they learn to speak.
Another "event" occurred on a Friday night. The first Friday of the month. I arrived at the skating rink. The parking lot was full of security people. After buying my ticket, I went inside. Wall to wall black people. No real room to skate. I exited and was given a "rain check" for another night. I asked the security present why they were present. The answer was "mom's night". The first Friday of the month after the welfare checks come out, the moms drop their kids off at the skating rink. Eeeks! I didn't know or expect that. We had a group of black regulars who were fine skaters. Always a pleasure to be on the floor with them. It's not that way on "mom's night". Lots of beginners packed tight, stumbling, flailing. No thanks.
Did you read the article? At least two lines in the excerpt are beliefs that are true, at least in effect. The only real dispute is over how widespread the intention to have these effects is.
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.
Did you see my post & grasp the Bell Curve IQ chart?
THAT was my point!
Yes. I’m saying it is not a matter of lack of intelligence to figure out the patterns for things which are actually occurring.
Good grief, you missed the point. Again.
That’s true IMO. The left seems to want to keep black families split and it is really hurting the black community.
