Why does the media lump black people together?

I agree and think it's ridiculous. As to why, that's a hard question to answer. I know genuine journalists who adhere to journalistic principles insist on accuracy. Maybe they don't run the show anymore. I think the digging to find accuracy is worth the trouble, even if if means to stop watching irresponsible television, stop reading irresponsible articles, and put quality in your life by refusing to accept anything less.
