What I learned in my stint as a television news reporter was this: Television news is one of the most racist industries out there.
I applaud CNN’s Don Lemon for using his platform for calling out the well-to-do black folks by name on live television for their silence.
The news industry plays a role in incriminating African Americans by its proliferation of news coverage of black-on-black crime.
African Americans are fighting for equality for all across the board; yet very little progress has been made in black America.
Trump subsequently tweeted about “vicious dogs” which creepily sounded like an endorsement of the infamous Birmingham Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor, who directed the use of fire hoses and police attack dogs against protestors during the height of the Civil Rights Movement.
