Media distortions about the realities of racial violence in our country are actively causing the random murder of innocent people. It's disgusting and irresponsible the way they selectively curate which stories to report on and which not to, and how they frame those stories. They *need* black people to remain forever afraid of "white supremacy" no matter how delusional that premise is in the year 2020 based on available data, their business model literally depends on it. It's not the 1960s anymore. We as a country should be proud of the achievements of the civil rights movement, but msnbc would prefer that we think racism is worse than ever! In fact, you can't even tell it's there, because its in the systems, of the structural structures! How convenient; the ultimate boogey man. And it's making people deranged.

It's almost like you shouldn't pick a side on the issue, eh? Just be open minded and have empathy and you wont struggle with any of that bro! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: strong agree that we should be proud, but that doesn't mean we should think we're finished! But I agree that we shouldnt look at what progresse we've made and act like we've made none, I dont like that stuff either. But, if I had to write out the stuff that society does that I dont like this thread would be 221 pages long! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
