Now I dare you to do the exact same search and replace the word “Blacks” with “Asians” or “Whites” and you will notice the difference.
Bottom line, there is an entire cottage industry out there fully invested in Black Failure Inc. While some of this is very true, it does not tell the complete story. No! You do not have to end up like that cousin or friend who died of cancer. No! You don’t have to be at a high risk for a stroke. There is hope, but you will never find it in the media.
What I found to be funny is that with all the talk over the years to have more Black faces in the newsroom and behind the TV news desk, many of them simply repeat the same script. But supposedly we are now content because a “Black face” is telling us the same thing. Same news.
But you do not have to repeat it.
