Yep. WHY that myth stuck around is a mystery.
OH, Wright is ALSO a pusher of the "disproportionate number of blacks in the US military" myth. The actual numbers prove exactly the opposite.

That is three myths in one: They say that Blacks, the uneducated and the poor serve in higher numbers than others. It’s...not...true.
There are TOO MANY myths that stay in the minds of people like: Blacks don’t make as much as Whites ( married Blacks that stay on track make almost as much as their White counterparts); the rich don’t pay taxes, etc.
Why is it at tax time the major media will print plenty of stories about where and when to file, last-minute tips, and camera crews will be out on the evening of April 15th showing people dropping off returns to the Post Office personnel? But, have you ever seen a story, in a local or national paper or on TV, about the amount that the rich, middle class and the poor pay (and don’t pay?) I never have.
As to WHY these myths stay around: because the media and the left want people to be confused and angry to have a reason to vote in the left, to expand government control, which the media desires.
Many times the Right actually solves problems like Welfare Reform, terrorism on US soil, the economy (when they can get Congress to approve tax cuts and back off some regulation). And yet, they don’t get credit for it. Even when the right spends on left-wing issues they don’t get credit (Nixon setup the EPA and King’s birthday, Bush Sr. and Junior have spent plenty on AIDS funding, No Child Left Behind, Prescription Drug Benefits and much more.) Yet the media complain they didn’t spend enough!
Go figure.
