The mainstream media portray the Supreme Court's recent ruling against race-based university admissions as a devastating blow to black Americans. But black Americans are actually fine with the decision, polling shows. It's hardly the first time the overwhelmingly white press corps have misrepresented black opinion, and the error always seems to point in one direction.
Since the Supreme Court's June 29 ruling, headlines have blared dire predictions about the future of black students in American higher education—many by black college students and activists. Just 19 percent of black Americans feel affirmative action impacts them, and only 11 percent of those feel the policy affects them "positively," according to the survey. The poll is not an outlier, as political reporter Aaron Blake details in the Washington Post.
Journalists similarly stretch when they try to make black Americans avatars of progressive views on crime, abortion, and transgender rights.
Opposition to policing is often portrayed as a grassroots movement by and for black Americans.

I think it is much deeper than having a victim but controlling a group of people they despise. I lived in El Paso for four years and pushing Spanish was not to help them but keep a cheap labor force. When you make race more important than academics to get into school you clearly don't care about their intellectual capabilities. While I despise the term interracial relationships, I would love to see numbers of Dems v GOP with a spouse that does not look like them. Very quickly I believe we would see who embraces other cultures and races and it will not look good for the left.

The media and activists have to have something to rail against. If racism in education isn't a real thing, they will find something else.
It's just funny that they try so hard to beat a dead horse on a topic, and the people that they are supposedly trying to help say that "This has never affected me" and the media loses their minds.
