I said what I said about the universal appeal of anti-Black racism in the US🤷🏿♂️
This is why you lose.
This is why you have no defense against foreign interference.
This is why all of the other stuff on the other side of the chart, is so easy for them to accomplish.
"At least he hurt Black folk!🤡"
@mekkaokereke Holy shit.
I will never understand your country.
Fortunately, that's not true. At all.
Black students in the US do not read at a higher level than white students. And yet Black people don't choose these self harmful fashy policies. Black men vote more in favor of the correct option for each of the following questions, than white women. 🙂🙃
* Should women have reproductive rights?
* Should we focus on climate change?
* Should we have universal health care?
* Should men participate more in childcare?
* Should women return to more traditional gender roles?
Not a typo. More Black men support women's reproductive rights than white women. And it's not a religious thing. More Black men attend church weekly than white women.
So it's not intelligence or "reading level." It's acceptance of racism and fascism.

Very important insights, against very significant and dangerous assumptions!
@mekkaokereke
I appreciate the fact that you tend to back these statements with proof (links to respected, peer-reviewed studies)
Cos, even as a fellow Black man (tho not American), I find it difficult to overcome the biased image that US mass culture has painted of male African Americans.
Progressive? Surely not. Aren't you all feckless dads, drug dealers, violent, wannabe rappers?
@mekkaokereke @ferricoxide @davidnjoku Tangential observation:
Not being from the USA, the "And it's not a religious thing" really confused me at first.
Because healthcare, climate honesty, opportunity for women, and reproductive rights are issues that, here, get progressive and positive treatment at just about every christian church with attendance.
Urban churches that have swapped to inclusive messaging DO still have attendance. It turns out that 2SLGBTQ+ folks, socially progressive folks, etc. have just as much need for spirituality as conservative straights, and now outnumber in pews as well.
Rural christian church attendance is small and aging. Lots of rural parishes are amalgamating 2-5 churches and selling off the unused ones. It just doesn't make sense to heat a building for fewer than 5 attendees on a Sunday. Maybe that's different in Alberta but I doubt it.
But that's here - Canada. We have laws against hate speech here, no guns, less need for a prosperity gospel just to be able to afford healthcare. So maybe our pastors have a different set of concerns to preach to.

I could be wrong, but I interpreted @ferricoxide's post to mean that the quality of education in the United States has been declining in general, not that one group of people have been affected more than another. It is true that reading comprehension and functional literacy in the United States has gone down significantly over the past several decades. In many white families, that means more people trapped in racist and abusive religious information bubbles. Algorithms help prevent people from finding information outside of their information bubbles.
@CorvidCrone @ferricoxide @davidnjoku
The percent of white voters that vote for the candidate perceived to be the most anti-Black, has not changed in 80 years. 80. Years.
There has been no POTUS election in modern history, where the majority of white voters chose the Democratic nominee. And no, the majority of white voters did not vote for Obama. (I don't know why so many people believe that myth.)
White people educated in the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, 2000s, and 2010s, don't vote significantly differently from each other.
We keep trying to force fit "educational changes" as a reason for voting for racists. But it's just not true. The racism is remarkably stable and consistent.
@mekkaokereke @CorvidCrone @ferricoxide @davidnjoku
Maaaaan, this it the exact thing being a prodigal son white ass dweeb HS Drop Out. Education doesnt breed ethics and morality and white people stake their entire politics on it.
@mekkaokereke @CorvidCrone @ferricoxide @davidnjoku
It is absolutely ridiculous that white people think that they can indoctrinate cosmopolitan values at least through proxy of knowing trig identities
