The problem is that blacks (who make up 12% of the population, not 18%) are the darling of the media. Well, that is, lefty-manipulated blacks.
Media folks sure don’t like Justice Thomas, who has a heck of a lot better “African American” credentials than the half-Kenyan in the White House, or any other black person who is smart and has made it and is not obsessed with his color.
But because the Dems can use blacks to manipulate the media, they will get lots of whites to vote for programs that are directly targeted at and antithetical to whites, Asians or even Latinos (whom “officially approved” blacks do not like either).
By jove, you're right! I stand corrected.
Guess it just SEEMS like more because of current events.
