I don’t know what this number looks like historically, but that’s pretty damn significant. You rarely see 76% support of anything, let alone a civil rights issue that doesn’t directly impact the demographic being questioned (of course, hate impacts all of us negatively, just not as directly as those who are the targets).
They certainly are! The internet has been not so great for a lot of things, but it has definitely given people, especially the youth who are plugged in, a sense that maybe there’s more nuance than what they’ve been raised to see. As Dr King famously stated, “the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice” and that initial bend comes from the youth almost every time. Take down the veils that intentionally blind them to their natural empathy and that arc bends more and more.
