A new Pew Research Center survey reveals that a majority of Black Americans believe that the political, economic, and criminal justice systems in the United States are designed to hold Black people back. The survey highlights that 74% of Black adults perceive the prison system as biased against them, while 67% and 65% express similar sentiments about the political and economic systems, respectively. Most Black Americans have heard racial conspiracy theories about U.S. institutions. This profound distrust towards U.S. institutions is attributed to generations of trauma and a history of discrimination, influencing conspiratorial beliefs within Black communities.
