1.) Actually most Blacks still believe the myth perpetuated by Democrats that White Republicans hunted their ancestors like animals, herded them onto a boat and then enslaved and oppressed them for hundreds of years. Only ~23% know the reality that African tribes kidnapped and sold citizens from other tribes into the slavery of White Democrats (Or at least the people who would go on to found the democratic party)who would regularly and consistently abuse and deny their rights, only to have white Republican males fight and die for their rights consistently.
2.) Yes, they obviously know what problems are in their communities, but the point I was making is that they were doing fine before Democrats took over, then for the entirety of the Democrats control over those cities it became a hellhole, for a lack of a better term, that the Democrats who quiet frankly ruined their lives then blamed -once again- on white male republicans who haven't been in charge there for decades. The fact that they buy into it despite all evidence, is why they are "brainwashed".
3.) Telling someone to actually do research for themselves isn't condescending; it's actually empowering. If I simply told them what to think or say I would be no better than the Democrats I just called out, even though I'm speaking the 100% truth. To make a comparison, it's like if you have a test in school, and one group of kids just copies each others work and fails, then another group says "Hey, you need to do the research yourself, here's the Science textbook, go to chapter 5." Is HE condescending for wanting them to see for themselves? No. And it only SOUNDS that way to you because you reading this in text form, if you would actually hear me say it you would hear much more empathy and/or concern. (Everyone I know says I have a weird way of talking, and I type how I speak.)
