1/n Unless this is sampling bias, some signs that the Awokening has stalled--particularly among white independents. For instance, the share of white indeps that 'agreed' with the statement below *doubled* (33%->66%) between May and June (vs 59%->73% for white Reps). 
2/n In contrast, the Awokening (at least on this question) persists among white Dems, with agreement *falling* (and disagreement increasing) 25%->14% across this same period.
3/n Similarly, the share that 'agree' that prejudice and discrimination holds back minorities fell nearly 25 points among white indeps (34%->9.2%) and 16 points mong white Republicans (31.7%->16.1%). Curiously, we also see a decline among white Dems (80.9%->64.7%)
4/n Combining and standardizing the two 5-point scales, we see general stability among white dems (likely because the changes cancel out) and non-white dems, and significant dips among white indeps and Reps.
5/n Of course, this could be sampling error. OR perhaps @realchrisrufo is just really good at what he does 🤔
6/n For those that'd like to see the results for racial/ethnic groups overall...
7/n I reverse-coded the scale (so it's now labeled 'racial conservatism') and combined the data for whites with the Google Trends series. Hard not to think there's a causal relationship here
