The media has always reported their news for white comfort. White people's comfort level trump's everything and anything else. Allow me to explain. Back in the day, local news reported crimes by people of color by their culture. Black, Asian, Hispanic. But if they were white,
they would only mention their gender. A man was arrested. Psychologically, if you never hear them say, a white man was arrested, it would be natural for you to assume that white men don't commit crimes as often as POC. Also, it forces POC to beware of our interactions with white
people. Big men of color has to try to make themselves seem smaller as to not make that little white woman uncomfortable. We have to ignore the fact that we are assumed to be criminals even if we have a badge in our pocket. Law enforcement upholds this law of white comfort by
not punishing those officers that shoot and kill us because they know all they have to say is that they feared for their lives. That cop was uncomfortable, justified. The court system is all about white comfort levels. White people are comfortable white putting a 14 yr old black
Kid away for life. But that man that raped a drunk woman behind a dumpster has a promising future. That black kid is an animal and should never be on the street. But Brock shouldn't have his life destroyed for a mistake. That's why the culture of white supremacy and white
Privilege needs to be totally destroyed. Root and all.
