I haven't been paying attention to this story, but everyone is complaining about the black kids getting overcharged with attempted murder instead of assault or something less minor because they were black? What I don't get is that when this goes to trial, won't overcharging them absurdly end up backfiring on the prosecution because they can't prove attempted murder?

It might. The problem is that there is a decent likelihood of jury bias that would work against the defendants.
Would you say the same about the Duke Rape case? That the defendants could very well get acquited, therefore, Nifong acted appropriately???

No I am not trying to say the DA acted appropriately at all. It just doesn't make sense to me having not followed the story.
