Black Lives Matter: we're here because Black Americans are the only group that overwhelmingly understands the danger of a hostile government

Support Black Lives Matter. Support defending the police. Support ending racial policing. Support prison reform. Support protecting civil rights.

50501 will be far more successful if we start paying rightful attention to Black Americans. For all the shit going on right now, they have suffered more and continue to suffer more than the rest of us.

I need to preface this and say I hate race data generally, but even more so when it is presented without a margins of error.
I interpret the data you present as to say that black americans voted significantly more for Biden than Harris. This doesn't appear to line up with your title, or am I missing something?
- Look at the gender subdivision, though: black women voted in very similar proportion to 2020. It’s the drop-off in support from black men that diminished the overall numbers.
  Put another way: orangeboi’s populist strategy of tapping into male resentment worked on a lot of people no matter what their skin color was, and both Biden and Harris had their heads too far up their own asses to realize what an existential threat that was (largely because they refused to admit the fucking basis of that strategy even existed).

What about the economic status and education levels?
Focusing on race is a distraction.
- Downvoted for considering systemic racism "a distraction". Consider a "yes, and" next time.
