Racism Doesn't Expire. The Coverage Does.
Description
These incidents don't stop. A lot of the national coverage does. In this clip we get into that gap — and who fills it.
Malcolm and Thomas get into the persistence of racism and violence toward specific communities in America: that it is historical, that it is ongoing, and that remembrance and justice are not the same as a news cycle. The conversation explores how many of these stories never get national airtime, and the role social media has taken on in spreading awareness when the bigger platforms go quiet. If you only catch what makes the homepage, this is the part about what still happens off it.
