And Obama being a “secret Muslim” and “COVID is a hoax” and “the jab kills people” and “migrant caravans” and…I’m getting light headed.
Well those white people were pretty bigoted already so there’s that.
More like people on Facebook. They’ll post the most obvious fake movie posters asking “Is this real?”

The wealthy elites want us to fight amongst each other. It’s not about race, gender, sexuality, it’s about the rich and the poor. If we unite against the wealthy elite that control the resources, keep us poor as they build vast amounts of wealth without working. As we slave for them.
They want us divided so they can continue to conquer us.

They ate it right up even after Couch-boy admitted he made it all up. Idiots.
People just get in the internet and say anything. This is a trash take.
Trump’s populism was established, and is fuelled, by dis/misinformation. Broadly it’s not Black people who have fallen for it.
Remember Obama’s birth certificate, the 2020 Presidential Election, COVID, etc.?
*Live vid of white people being conned and planning diabolical mayhem below*
It’s amazing to me how white conservatives don’t see that the minority conservative politicians are blaming changes every few weeks and never poses a real threat. They’re truly acting like goldfish
Some of my white (I am also white) co workers who I previously thought of as intelligent believed this bullshit. I mean I wasn’t surprised considering all the other shit they would’ve had to believe in order to follow Trump, but it was disappointing, still.
A political party convinced poor southern white folks that poor southern black folks were the reason for their struggle and they still believe that shit TODAY.
That was a special subset of white people.
Just last week White people were doing victory laps on the internet because they thought Trump, who isn’t even in office yet, “shut down the border” after he just straight up lied about his phone call with the Mexican president.
Lol baiting with misinformation? We literally question everything. People must forget what woke originally meant before it was white washed

A lot of us didn’t vote the obvious conman three times.
And once the election was over, not one mention of Haitians eating pets since.
White people tried to kill Congress because a con man told them to.
Let’s be honest everybody is susceptible to misinformation regardless of age or race. It’s not even a recent thing either. That’s been a thing since the internet started. Let’s not forget KONY 2012 lmao. Shit had every damn every high schooler and early college student wrapped up in that shit
Cloutchasers be like…

I don’t know how but we gotta stop incentivizing lying.
I’m still seeing my white relatives post about how there are litter boxes in school bathrooms for furries or whatever. Like the most easily disprovable info they just snort right up from Fox News and shit.
I don’t see many(or any) black people talking about how Obama did nothing when 9/11 happened. Or that BLM started the insurrection, or that Obama has been secretly running the country. There are so many other examples.
that shit had their casseroles in a kerfuffle
It’s got to be something a majority of black people can believe by pointing to something else that has happened in history. For an example, some black people didn’t want to take the Covid vaccine because it seemed experimental and compared it to the Tuskegee experiment.
I still remember it like it was yesterday when folks thought Ciara was a man.
I live in Ohio & the amount of white people who still believe that shit is crazy.
The problem is white people are never treated as a monolith. The counter to this is “conservatives” believed it, but most conservatives are white
Here in the UK, we had racists marching through streets rioting, smashing up and robbing shops, setting fire to hotels with rrefugees trapped inside and smashed up mosques because of rumours.
Basically, a man wielding a knife attacked a group of small girls who were at a dance class.
Eight girls were stabbed and three were killed.
Online, a lady said the killer was a Muslim refugee. Video came out of a man waving about a machete.
Riots started.
Turned out, the was a Christian teenager born in Wales. The lady had lied. The video of the machete man, beieved at first to be asian, was of a white racist man trying to stir up hatred.
The actual killer was black, so racists tried to use that, but then it had also come out that another black man had helped rescue a bunch of the girls.
Also, considering people were robbing shoes and sausage rolls, the public weren’t buying the idea that the riots were about justice.
I used to think it was primarily education that shielded people from misinformation and while this is crucial, it’s a lack of bias/ideological capture that I now believe is most critical. To quell dissonant information that challenges your preconceived notions and biases, sometimes the only antidote is misinformation. You’re well educated and surrounded by progressive perspectives but your bigotry makes you NEED to believe that immigrants are trouble by simple virtue of being “other”, but the reality is that they keep to themselves and don’t do anything to reinforce your prejudice? Why not latch onto some misinformation that “justifies” your biases and appeased your cognitive dissonance? That way, shit doesn’t make you reckon with the fact that you’re probably just a bigot.
And then the idiot who started that won the presidency again
As the whitest guy who lives around a bunch of people whiter than me, white people are insanely gullible.
But black folks in Ohio were complaining about Haitians eating cats, dogs and ducks 🦆out the pond. 🤦🏾♂️
How the hell do majority white people in the whole ass country that worship at the cult of Trump have the audacity to talk about black people being easiest to bait with misinformation.
These dudes have got their faces stuck in the ass of a 2 bit conman and got willfully misinformed for a decade.
I once fell for the “gullible is written on the ceiling” trick, so that did hurt white people
MFs still repeat that rumor despite there being 0 evidence it ever actually happened.
No one with half a brain actually believed that. Only people who post dumb things on the internet actually believed that. Most people who don’t post on Twitter/Facebook or Reddit and make it political usually aren’t winners in the IQ department
A lot of racism in this sub.
Trump won the Dominican vote with that
Black people, white people — more like if you classify people by shade of skin, you’re racist.
Yeah the Haitian thing is alarming. The fact that Vance outright admitted they knew it was false, pushed it anyway, and still won the election is damning for the US population. We deserve to lose our super power status.
Marcus can really suck a fat one for this take. Op behavior.
Fox News much?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s not wrong to an extent. For exame, look how many people believe that they wake up on their 25th birthday and a switch in their brain turns on all of a sudden, and that this is universal across every human.
Because they wanted the confirmation bias. They just want the flimsiest excuse…
I work with a few Haitian people. I asked them what they thought. They laughed and said they werent surprised and back in Haiti shit like that happened all the time
“Background Pool 7457” is a prime example of OP’s post. Nothing but hate, anger, and venom in nearly every one of its posts.
Unfortunately it’s becoming increasingly easy to ragebait all ideologies online, regardless of gender, ethnicity, etc. it keeps us busy at one another’s throats
My people can be so fucking stupid. Said thing were better under Trump because he gave us money
