Does it really have to do with skin color? Or is it more a matter of statistics? Stats arre not racial or prejudicial, just a way of reporting comparative data.
Well......
Like many subjects, "DATA", "FACTS", "FAKE NEWS", and "MISINFORMATION" are highly studied and researched subjects.
The internet is filled with Bravo Sierra.
“Humans are by nature selfish, tribal, gullible convenience seekers who put the most trust in that which seems familiar.”
One very reputable research organization asked experts their opinion on “The Future of Truth and Misinformation Online”. The survey was conducted in 2017, so that “data” would undoubtedly be different today after the pandemic and highly exposed corruption in just about every aspect of American society.
“Experts are evenly split on whether the coming decade will see a reduction in false and misleading narratives online. Those forecasting improvement place their hopes in technological fixes and in societal solutions. Others think the dark side of human nature is aided more than stifled by technology.”
51% said naahh…
”humans’ primal quest for success and power – their “survival” instinct – will continue to degrade the online information environment in the next decade.”
49% said yes…
“the rising speed, reach and efficiencies of the internet, apps and platforms can be harnessed to rein in fake news and misinformation campaigns.”I predict that in the future, possibly within the next 50 years, humanity will look and feel very different.

Bottomline: As an old 1800’s cowboy once advised: “Don’t believe anything you hear, half of what you read, and never buy a horse after sundown.”
