Half a century ago this summer was adopted a law on voting rights, driven by Bloody Sunday on Selma Bridge. From the previous summer, the Act on Civic Rights became the law on July 2.
We are at the 7th year of the presidency of the Black American who called the first two black general prosecutors.
However, racial relations now seem more poisonous than when the good will of the majority of America managed the regulations.
Today’s problem, however, is not the laws of voting, open apartments or school buses. There is a black versus blue: African Americans caught fire on what they consider chronic police brutality and police forces that feel besieged in a demagogical “war with clays”.
And the media are obsessed with this and determined to even.
To consider. On June 9, the American “Gazeta Record” conducted four stories in the first section about police violence against the Black.
The first page of “New York Times” told the black leaders in Cleveland, “Distrust to the justice system in criminal matters”, causing “rarely used Ohio law”, going “directly to the judge in order to demand allegations of murder” against clay against clay involved in committed clays death Rice Tamir.
Responding to reports about a man with weapons, clay, two seconds from his car, they shot Tamir, 12. The pistol was a toy.
However, although it happened six months ago, Times again came to love to how Tamir died. Then he turned to death, also last year, Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner on Staten Island.
On the A11 page was a story with three colorful photos, covering almost the whole page, with a clay, which called a cacophonous billiard party at McKinney, Texas, drew a weapon and struggled to the ground with a 14-year-old black girl in a swimsuit.
“The pool party, a shocking image of the police” was a banner over the Times story of “powerful and disturbing” images, from a video showing “a policeman indicating a weapon in teenagers in bathing suits and pushing a young black face to the ground. ”
If the girl were white, did he spill times?
Page A12 was completely transferred to clay vs. Black, with two fresh stories, as well as a continuation of the Tamir rice and pool.
The story at the A12 summit talked about how northern Charleston in Southern Carolina, which took place from April on charges of murder, was accused by a great jury for murder.
Officer Michael Slager shot the escaping suspicious Walter Scott in the back, the murder caught on the video, apparently after the fight for Taser Slager.
There was also a modern story of USAAH Rahim suspected of terrorism, shot after the FBI and Boston cop. Rahim allegedly holding a enormous knife. Bluded video from the Burger King camera shows clay retreating from Rahim, but not with a knife.
Seven times reporters got lines for these four stories.
What does the Times investment tell us all this journalistic talent and information space? The Times doesn’t want this problem to die.
Times editors and writers perceive “black people who are a victim of white racist cops” as a representative truth about America 2015, to which we all have to take care of.
But what is the greater reality? First of all, the expansive majority of black men killed violently are killed by black men, and interracial crime in America is mostly black and white, not the other way around.
Although this is not media truth, it is a statistical truth.
This is reality. Indeed, if the ugliest expressions of racism are interracial assaults, rape and murders, the most severe concentrations of racism in America are in black communities themselves.
But the preferred history of The Times and the mainstream of the media, most cable channels and social media, is white clay that will rewind black people.
In this way, we all heard about Tracvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and Freddie Gray, but few even know the number of black people shot every year in their own black communities.
The press is not interested in ferreting these statistics.
Why? Such statistics would exchange a message that the media are trying to send and strengthen: i.e. America must face the crisis of dishonest cops.
What is coming is not complex to predict.
Since the white clays are invariably trying with black suspects, the media will survive and pump each episode that fits and develops their script. There will be livid and violent protests. There will be court proceedings and trials such as the upcoming West Baltimore clay.
America will divide and take the parties. And the rival “War on Cops” and “Black Lives Matter!” Claims will be settled in the 2016 election.
In 1968, Richard Nixon rode a problem with the law and order to the White House. Hillary Clinton seems to move to capture “Black life!” Electoral districts.
As for republicans, they seem to act more like John Lindsays and Bill Scriskonons from the past than Nixons and Ronald Reagans. But someone will take this problem.
