Oppressive and racist institutions still shape the material conditions of all POC today. All while inadvertently benefitting from white press, who’s intentions were to gather sympathy for POC from white readers. As Berger puts it, “To the degree that narratives illustrating white power over blacks helped make the images nonthreatening to whites, the photographs impeded efforts to enact—or even imagine—reforms that threatened white racial power.”. This is all precisely why we need more mainstream coverage of the opposition. White media should feature more POC in positions of power, and/or feature demonstrations against racist institutions. It should demand for assimilation, a call for action. With the meteoric rise of the reactionary ALM movement, or how BLM protests are constantly invalidated and made to look like mindless violence on the news. Today’s media is being overtly biased and dead set on preserving the status quo. My proposed remedy is for mainstream media to become active in the public condemning of racism and oppression of all forms.
