Believe.
It's funny and also awful, because the methodology lets single songs with repetitive unusual lyrics heavily skew things.

Da Doo Ron Ron, Monday Monday, Pump Up The Jam, I'm Black and I'm Proud and the Thong Song jump out, but I see a dozen others.

If the raw data were released, it'd be a simple matter to flatten the songs to only count each unique word once. It'd be much easier to see any actual trends, but it'd probably be really boring with each year being topped with something like love, money, baby, girl or something like that, though I'd expect swears to pop up in the latter decades due to relaxed broadcast rules

I'm pretty sure Adam Levine is the sole reason "animals" is on there. That song has the word "animals" 6 times in the chorus alone.

I'm phone posting and I can't zoom in on those graphs. Are the axes intentionally blurry? Or can somebody post a high res version?

There's just so much wrong and I can decipher how wrong it is yet.

Well you could probably do some kind of statistical comparison between white income and black income for people with the same level of education working the same jobs, as well as comparing stuff like the % of high income jobs that are done by black people compared to the overall % of black people in the general population.

But that all sounds like a lot of work and it would be a lot easier to just make something up and draw a blurry graph with a red line going up.

I would ask “how many of those are adjusted for inflation and/or population?”, but that’s putting too much faith in the source of the data.

I like how all the graphs indicate a negative trend since before Obama came into office. It's almost like he inherited an economic collapse or something, gee.

So for half of them it's a case of the twitter post having such a blurry scaling it looks like a horrible situation, but in reality home ownership has only gone down by 3.5%, labor by 3% and black inequality by 0.03 (:confused:). I also like how the Student Loans one just doesn't have data prior to 2003 but instead assumes the trend line to make its point.

I'm not even sure what it measures. I did some googling and I think it might show net borrowing to support the federal student loan program???
