No matter how large the percentage of an identifiable group (women, Blacks, Hispanics, whatever), there is always plenty of time and space on the popular media outlets for the voice of a vanishingly small minority that toes the most oppressive, status quo line. So, while we hear plenty from the likes of Phyllis Schlafly or the above-pictured Dwight McKissic, we never see or hear from a spokesperson representing a majority opinion.
