The "white standard," says that if enough white people think racism isn't a problem in this country, then it isn't a problem. That if enough white people think Black folks are angry, lazy, thugs, loud, uncivilized, uneducated, unworthy, then that's what Black folks are.
Keith Boykin @keithboykin
A new CBS News poll shows 75 percent of Black people think racism is a major problem in America today, while 58 percent of white people say racism is only a minor problem or not a problem at all.

That any behavior that doesn't align with the "white standard" of normalcy & civility isn't acceptable behavior (See Fani Willis, Angel Reese, Colin Kaepernick, Barack Obama, etc.).

Having grown up under this "white standard," being told 2 conform, 2 get along, not 2 rock the boat or step outside my place, I can tell you the oppressive weight of this psychological BS wore on my Spirit just as I witnessed it wear on others. That's why I marvel at US!

Even after the physical chains of slavery were removed, the mental shackles this country tried 2 bind US with never let up... yet WE thrived due 2 OUR Joy, OUR Resilience, OUR collective determination & fight 2 persevere, overcome & hold this country 2 its promise that is OUR birthright!

A slaver fears the uncontrolled minds of a liberated people. The eruption of white grievance in this country is a direct reaction 2 Black folks hailing OUR own standards along with all marginalized communities who refuse 2 be defined or dictated 2 by a one-size-fits-all, privileged "white standard".

What were the perimeters of the Poll?
How many where polled, what was the breakdown, how were they contacted(by landline,etc)?
What was the phrasing of the questions?

The poll, it's source, MOE, etc., are all listed in the capture. More than enough info to investigate your questions to whatever degree satisfies you, or not... & still, the "white standard" would be the "white standard."
