There’s good reason for being suspicious about this Washington Post poll because it has black people echoing woke lefty talking points even when they clearly contradict previous polls, for example having black people dismiss more police in favor of lefty holistic solutions to crime.
But let’s zero in on this absurd and racist result.
A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 75 percent of Black Americans polled are worried that they or someone they care about will be physically harmed because they are black…
How often does that happen?
We’re not talking about staged white supremacist terror attacks like Buffalo or Charleston.
Seventy percent of Black Americans polled said they believed half or more white Americans hold white supremacist beliefs compared to 19 percent who believed fewer than half white Americans do.
That would be a widespread conviction that most white people are not only racist but white supremacists.
In the breakdown, 35% believe that most white people hold white supremacist views, while another 27% say that half of white people do.
Only 8% say very few.
That’s not a survey of racism, it’s a racist survey.

I live in a city with a large number of Blacks…and Browns….and when I’m out and about, I have friendly interactions with them. Many times they start the conversation with me.
If one wishes to get a skewed poll result, then ask the people most likely to say what is wanted; but if the Truth is seen as a good thing, ask the right questions and don’t discriminate against those who will tell it.

KEEP THE POT BOILING and it is likely to BOIL OVER.
Keep inflaming black Americans with the disproved idea they in great danger from police, then they will eventually believe this BIG LIE.
When compared with other races, black Americans are very infrequently killed by police or by white people. The PHOBIA is not supported by FBI statistics.
In 2018, the FBI estimates there were about 16,200 homicides in the United States. Data on these murders is very limited, however. For example, not every murder is solved—38.4 percent went unsolved in 2017, and the number of individuals involved in every murder is not known. Likewise, the race of the perpetrators is not known in every homicide case. The FBI does report, though, that in cases of a single victim and single offender the race of both the murder victim and murderer are known in 6,570 cases. Of those, 3,315 victims were white, with 2,677 of those killings (80.8 percent) being carried out by another white individual and 514 (15.5 percent) being carried out by a black individual. The remaining 124 white victims were killed by perpetrators of other races.* There were 2,925 black victims of murder in 2018, of whom 234 were killed by a white individual (8 percent) and 2,600 were killed by a black individual (88.9 percent). Again, the remainder were carried out by perpetrators of a different race.
The Washington Post maintains a database of fatal police shootings, which includes information about the victims. In 2018, the Post reports 880 such killings took place. (That number is likely low and the database is frequently updated when more cases come to light.) Of those 880 deaths, 454 of the victims were white and 228 were black. Presumably, the viral photo is suggesting that police shootings represent 3 percent and 1 percent of total killings of white and black people respectively. While it isn’t clear if the FBI statistics include police shootings, even adding those numbers to those reported by the FBI, the numbers don’t support the claims in the viral photo. In that case, police shootings represent the deaths of 12 percent of white victims and 7.2 percent of black victims.

if you consider that most crimes in usa are committed by black people with most often white victims, the hispanic come next with white victims also, it is obvious that the racism of black people and mexicans is such and their crimes against white are such that they have a great reason to be weary of, and vision white supremacist that punishes them in every white person….
the black and hispanic people, feeling guilty and being racist leads to the nullism of considering everyone is racist, and so excusing the criminality against the white…
reminds that the thief will say everyone is a thief, the rapist will say everyone is a rapist, and the murdered will say everyone is a murderer, and the racist will say everyone is a racist…
but mostly the claims about white supremacists, fascists, nazis, racists and so on from the blacks and from hispanic is cultivated in order to excuse the abuse and criminality against the white….
Wellington says
The Left never seeks unity and self-resilience. It seeks permanent division and victimhood. This is part of its modus operandi and directly contrary to the foundations of America which, even with many faults, has always striven for unity and self-resilience as well as the quest to “make a more perfect union,” in part, but only in part, by way of demonstrating a capacity to apologize for past wrongdoing—and no political entity in history has done more to make up for past wrongdoing than has America, a few perhaps as much, none more. All this is lost on the Left, but then so much routinely is.

A Very Racist Poll About Racism

Yes–these are just absurd figures.

Spot on.

I lived in multiple non-white majority neighborhoods and I would probably say that this poll is reasonably accurate. If you’ve ever heard African Americans talk when no white people are around you’d know that a good percentage of them blame whites for EVERYTHING. Predictably, most, if not all black criminals (drug dealers, drug users, gang members etc.) think, or at least say that the police target them because of skin color rather than for their criminal activity. Unemployed blacks blame whites for their poverty despite their refusal to work. Hard working blacks either grow up in mostly white neighborhoods or promptly move from their neighborhood when they make enough $$$.
Just some first hand observations to think about. I think many of those polled should consider moving to Ghana as the Washington Post just advised via an op-ed. Yes, I did say Ghana. They seem to think its a paradise because there’s no “white supremacy”

Yes.
And the leftists will never admit that Blacks commit more crimes per capita – it’s always because Blacks are being targeted by white / racist / profiling police officers.

JCA Reid says
Blatant lying Propaganda. Trump polled more votes than ANY Republican Candidate for the Presidency. He garnered MORE votes from the Black & Hispanic Communities than any Republican Candidate in history.
Seems strange that these Communities would flock to & endorse the Democrat Party. The Party for decades that barred African-Americans from registering to vote. The Party that brought in Jim Crow Laws. The Party that devised a Para-Military Wing – the KKK.
Methinks something is rotten in the state of the USA. It’s the Democrat Party & its MSM! [from the UK].

JCA Reid, most African Americans do indeed vote Democrat. This has been confirmed by polls of all different political stripes, as well as voting patterns in neighborhoods that are heavily African American.
For instance, here’s Pew, which is not considered biased:

A lot of people–and not just Blacks–sadly know little about history.
