Views on this have changed in recent years, according to Pew Research Center surveys. In 2019, 57% said people overlooking racial discrimination was the bigger problem, while 42% pointed to people seeing it where it really didn’t exist. That gap has narrowed from 15 to 8 percentage points.

    Literally my point.

    Rural voter issue “Listen to the plight of the common clay of this fine land!”

    Urban voter issue “nobody wants to hear it”

    You know what the rural folks in my family did when they realized there were no opportunities? They moved to a fucking city

      I won’t argue that, but I will simply point out that the goal of the news media is to get eyeballs, not to inform. They will go with whatever story gets eyeballs that they can then sell insurance and beer to.
