Thank LBJ’s War on Poverty for nurturing Black victimhood because it paid in free money from the government. He readily admitted that it wasn’t because he loved Blacks, but because “n*****s will be voting Democrat for a hundred years.” And he was right.
American blacks were taught victimhood by their Democrat white liberal elite masters... keeps 'em on the failure plantation...
Barack Obama was a first or second generation African immigrant and therefore part of that “over represented” group.
Anyone who doesn’t believe these results has no awareness whatsoever of the historically tribal nature of blacks. In fact, I’m a bit surprised that the results of the survey aren’t worse.
I spent a fair amount of time training and working with military and security forces in sub-Saharan Africa and I can honestly say that I truly enjoyed working with them. If there is an accurate stereotype that applies almost universally among the people with whom I worked, it is that they are very warm, friendly people who are incredibly eager to learn. I and my colleagues, most of whom were white, were treated exceptionally well - even in the early days of the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe. However, that cannot be said of their treatment of one another.
Like Asians, Europeans and people almost anywhere (with the possible exception of the United States), locals recognize outsiders - even if they have the same skin tone and speak the same language, and members of one tribe readily recognize members of another and they almost universally don’t like one another.
Consequently, when they come to the United States, they bring those same biases and prejudices with them, as do people from anywhere in the world but, by and large, many Americans seem to maintain the position that only Americans are bigoted and racist. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Isn’t this a kicker?
By the Cornell definition, Obama, Holder, and Colin Powell do not count as "Black Americans."
On the shores of Lake Cayuga there is an awful smell. It is Cornell.
