When I wrote that I was not surprised, I meant that I was not surprised that a study would show that. I did and do wonder about the questions and if they were written in such a way to elicit a certain kind of response.
Example: Do you wish you had a BMW? (To which the answer might be yes, but that doesn't mean that I am unhappy about my Nissan).
I also agree that age and socio-economic class are factors here, which might speak to some of the disparity the survey documents.
Finally, contrary to what the media presents, there are a good deal of black and other minority folks out here that are happy with our lives, regardless of socio-economic status. I would ask the question of what the media has to gain in continuously representing our communities in negative terms.
