It demonstrates that she sees the world as race vs race, which is why she never reports on let& #39;s say, economic or political struggles in the city of Atlanta, where people of similar complexion are constantly making important political decisions https://twitter.com/olivertraldi/status/1263879820699504643">https://twitter.com/olivertra...
One time I reported on an apartment in ATL where the AC was broken and rich folks who owned it were dragging their feet, people were passing out from heat . NOI guy showed up at a protest said "This isn& #39;t the Caucasian holdin& #39; us back here today. It& #39;s people who look like us."
And I was just thinking, how is it important what they look like? Someone owns the apartment building. They either treat the residents right or they don& #39;t. Who cares if they were Caucasian or not (they werent). Racial groups aren& #39;t the Borg it& #39;s not Star Trek.
Now it& #39;s still important to tell the story of historic racial discrimination (or contemporary discrimination) but if you just ignore every single political or economic decision that isn& #39;t made by a white person you don& #39;t get much of the story of modern America.
