I don't understand why I am being downvoted? I am just trying to understand what's going on & both side of the story.

They just use Brandwatch and paste in the N-word and other terms to come up with their findings. It's not like there's heavy statistical analysis here.

Probably because, as the replies have shown, they have published the things you're asking for.

I did not downvote, but I suspect two things: 1. Lack of research. You made it sound like the research was questionable, when it took me 30 seconds to find the publication and the methodology laid out within it. That means you spread wrong information. Even of that was unintentional, don't you think posts with wrong information should be downvoted? 2. The topic itself is not rocket science. Many people on here are also on twitter and have their own anecdotal data on such shifts happening. So by you being overly critical you making it sound as if this was some outlandish claim (Einstein was wrong), while it is pretty obvious to most (water is wet).

> I don't understand why I am being downvoted? My best guess is that at the top of the page, in the center of the navigation banner is a link that says "Research + Policy"[0] which includes the requested data. Similarly a quick google search leads to the same page. The question itself implies that you (one or more) didn't open the article's link, didn't look at the website for their argument, and/or didn't attempt googling. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't, but no one likes performing a task for another which could have been more easily been performed by themselves. We've all had that boss... But maybe you did try to google or search and just failed to find. That happens. In this case, I would have changed your wording. Your parent comment accuses the CCDH of not doing something which we can verify that they actually did do. Instead maybe say "Does anyone know where I can find the CCDH reports? I'd like to learn more." And even if this was lazy (as above) people would probably be happier to provide. The second sentence about the public deciding is also not that great since it is indistinguishable from mob rule. The second line is better, but maybe we can tweak it a bit if you really are trying to understand both sides, we can be more neutral. "I'm not sure I have all the context here, can someone help me understand each side's position before I make a realistic conclusion?" would probably see far fewer downvotes. Political topics are charged and we all have different priors. Your language is accusatory of one side and so justifies a certain prior. Language is fuzzy and those priors are necessary since there's a lot of gaps to fill in (despite what one might think). What I've suggested may not be different from what you internalized your comment as, but it is different from how it will be read. These are two completely different things that don't necessarily relate. [0] https://counterhate.com/research/ https://counterhate.com/research/
