A recent study by the Pew Research Center sheds light on the experiences and perspectives of Black Americans regarding racial discrimination and conspiracy theories in the United States. The study, which is part of a series on how Black Americans perceive success and failure, delves into the intersection of race and conspiratorial beliefs.
Racial conspiracy theories, as defined by the study, are ideas held by Black Americans about the actions of U.S. institutions that may not align with the institutions' stated goals. These beliefs are often rooted in America's history of racist policies that have disproportionately affected Black communities.
