CNS misquoted in a pretty material way. The exact phrase is "It's OK to be white". Not "alright to be white". This matters because "It's OK to be white" is the phase used in a trolling campaign in 2017 and 2018. (https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/its-okay-be-white https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/its-okay-be-white). This phrasing is a major error on the part of Rasmussen and invalidates the question, and possibly every question asked prior to the poorly phrased one.

Google Trends is showing basically noise for that phrase. The majority of black people polled agree with that phrase. I highly doubt most respondents knew of a trolling campaign from six years ago.

  Most respondents agreed with the phrase. And black people are far more likely to be familiar with news related to white supremacy than white people.

Why is it a "hate symbol" to say it's okay to be white? Isn't this claim racist in itself? Moreover, how does a phrase that only chronically online Twitter addicts understand invalidate the poll? Other statistics seem to back up the data, like a black person being double as likely to kill a white person than vice versa, according to the FBI. Racism from blacks towards whites could explain the large differences in homicide rates.

  According to the latest census data[1] there are 5.7x more white people than black people in the US. If I indiscriminately killed people I would be 5.7x more likely to kill a white person than a black person. I'm sure you could say "most" the people I killed were white and hence it was an anti-white act, but that would really be missing the forest from the trees. Of course, that is just the tip of the iceberg. [1] https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045221 https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045221

  So if anyone wants to see a perfect example of Sea Lioning, this is it. This asshole asked a question that could easily answered by reading the link explicitly to waste my time, and had the nerve to state statistics without providing a link or any relevant analysis.
