View submission: i feel totally cynical about what's happening right now
I don't doubt that there is a an apolitical section of the population that agrees that embedded anti-blackness and its manifestation in policing circles is an issue, but I would be hard pressed to believe that this constitutes a majority.
If you use support for the BLM as a proxy for these views then it certainly does. Polling has found that BLM now has majority support in America, which was definitely not the case before the current protests (-5 net favourability in 2017 vs +28 net favourability now).

Yes and in 2016 polls showed HRC was going to trounce DJT.
Who is going to answer this question with "no actually I think Ibrahim Kendi is a moron"?
What people say and what they do/think are different.

With that much social pressure to voice the "correct" opinion, I don't know how reliable polls are, even "anonymous" ones.
