@mattmcgorry : Repost from @shaunking - “Swipe over. First images are of a Black father who killed a man for trying to rape his daughter. Second images are of a white man who killed his own two daughters, and his pregnant wife. This disparity is no accident. It’s how Media advances racism. We must demand better. Images and text from @authorqasimrashid “ # From Matt- Perfect example of how we learn racism in ways that are so subtle to most of us white folks that we barely notice. And that “barely noticing” is called normalization. And it’s how the culture around us influences us, training us to have anti-Black bias, and then we put that out into the world again, like the people that chose the pictures to use for these news stories. If you’re not noticing racism, you are unconsciously absorbing it, and then you are putting it out into the world again without even consciously doing it. And guess what that does to your beliefs about who is dangerous, trustworthy, redeemable, etc?
