Buzzfeed uses a kinda misleading pull-quote from the analytics: "African American males made up the majority of protesters in the four observed cities vs. females".
The stat this refers to is gender ratio /amongst Black protestors only/; the overall racial mix of the protests really wasn't much different from their observed daytime (ie, control) racial mix.
FWIW, they also observe the same in-city out-of-city breakdown during the day and night, indicating that the 'bussed in protestor' fantasies of the right wing conspiracy machine were baseless. (though, really, that was pretty obvious anyway, and the tin-foil hats won't be convinced by any kind of evidence...)
- cbhl 6y agoYeah, I was confused by this pull quote given the pie charts later on the page showing majority-caucasian (over 72% in the four cities)
