Not ‘Woke’ Yet? Most Voters Reject Anti-White Beliefs [Rasmussen Reports]
Rasmussen Reports ^ | Feb. 22, 2023 | Rasmussen Reports

Despite years of progressive activism, a majority of Americans still don’t buy into the “woke” narrative that white people have a monopoly on racism.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 79% of American Adults agree with the statement, “Black people can be racist, too,” including 53% who Strongly Agree. Just 12% disagree, and another 10% are not sure.

Partial article due to paywall. But was quite surprised that the constant BLM propaganda hasn't taken deeper hold.

This is about planting the seeds for the next generation. They are just waiting for us “old farts” to die off.

anti-White is just as bad as anti-Black, and no scumbag should get away with platforming such gratuitous hatred.

Patience wokesters, patience. Time is on your side. Relentless propaganda works. It just takes some time.

And I’m not kidding here. Bad times are ahead. If you hear 1+1 = 3 often enough, you’ll start to believe that 1+1 might really equal 3. Or at least you won’t argue much against it.

Or to put it another way, what repulses the grandparent will be accepted as normal by the grandchild.

Dumb Blonde.... The most racist thing and most racist attitude I had as a kid in the 50s. In the 60s I realized it made no sense as There was no correlation between hair color and intelligence. I acted intelligently and did not let it affect my behavior (outside of sexual attraction).

It wasn’t until “Don’t tell mom the baby sitter is dead” with Kelly Bundy that my emotions began to change. Then “Legally Blonde” changed my emotions a little more. But I still prefer black hair. 2d choice dark brown. 3d choice lt brown. 4th choice red hair.

Last choice: Bleached Blonde.

I suppose other people with various illogical emotions and attitude have the same experience.

ps, religion is a different matter.

“ Or at least you won’t argue much against it.”

We are not sheep. Not part of a herd. We have free thought. What we don’t have are conservative leaders at all political positions who will actually stand up and lead. The left gets away with this because they create sheep very early in life. They basically take our children away from us a lot earlier now.

This is all Lenin.

The whole thing is media and activists gaslighting.

I don’t like that term but it fits here.

Because people can see BLM for exactly what it is.

It’s just a racist propaganda tool.

Consider the federal income tax. It was introduced slowly and gradually. Then the next thing you know, we are paying 20% or more of our income to the federal government. We are now working at least one day out of every five for the government.

The Founders would have been horrified by this. But we are not. Maybe we really are sheep. Depressing, I know.

Good point.

They censor, shut down, cancel responses.

It may be that blondes are held to higher standards in a resentful way. In my experience, natural blondes tend to stand out and are better looking than the average, ordinary individual.

Slowly boiling frogs in a pot so they'll accept it without jumping out. Same for sales tax. Start with it at 1 or 2 or 3 percent and slowly increase it over time. We're now paying 10 percent in my area for sales tax. And getting fewer services for our sales tax. Social Security income wasn't taxed, and now it is. And so on. Government is screwing us over, little by little over time, and people are slowly waking up. But nothing changes.

Society is changing for the worse, little by little, and people are complaining, but things will still get worse.

22% - about 1 in 5 - basically think black people can’t be racist.

That level of stupidity across society is outrageous.

Remember, half of those 22% are black, the rest are lunatic left wing fringe.
