Mister Terrific
It’s in the name
If polls weren’t an accurate representation of the populace based on precise sampling then organizations both public and private wouldn’t spend money to study the results. Whenever people say “oh that poll isn’t true” without actually criticizing how the data was accrued it just means that data does not align with their preconceived notions. Most Black Americans are patriotic and the sampling as largely remained the same.Those are polled statistics.
They don't account for 100% of the Black population as a whole just a segment of people who were polled and shared their views. Polls can be used to push agendas or skew perceptions to lean one way, so I don't take them to heart.
To be patriotic to a country is to love that country and its systemic structure as well as the people within. Most Black people are not patriotic; we just have a tolerance for America, but there is no “love” between the two sides. You don't need to be patriotic to be aware of politics and support your community, which is the Black community, not some fake “American” community where everybody is bound together under the guise of being American.
There is no community of that sort since Americans don't love each other nor can even tolerate each other due to differences (race, ethnicity, gender, etc).
“Americans can’t tolerate each other” Where is this happening besides the news?
I saw 2% of the population all races and creeds marching against Trump and fascism over the weekend. Most carrying American flags.
What was that to you?
