Критика расистских подтекстов в публичном мероприятии

https://youtu.be/BDqFk-pgM7w?si=lg8GvuCQgtqyWYVc I edited to add the video as some think the photo might be edited cause I whited out 47’s face. Since I wasn’t talking about the contents of the video I had not felt it was necessary to post the link. https://youtu.be/txZuveWhwvg?si=xamgHDPErel8HWgN – MSnow https://www.youtube.com/live/hprT6ozetQQ?si=yRxeivBguIy2qshj – NBC Apparently, the video was not sufficient proof so here are some links from traditional media sources. Some folks don’t understand the term “subtle” or “innate” racism, you know the racism that really doesn’t strike you as racism until you pause to think about it. To me, this is such an example, a man known for calling Black people “low IQ” has a meeting that includes children and just by happenstance the only Black child in this group has a pacifier stuck in his mouth. It is not an accident; it is to reinforce the talking point that Black folks are low IQ. The parents may have not realized this, the photographer may have not realized this, the organizers may have not realized it, but the choice was intentional. Someone thought hmm which Black child should I use in this gathering? Ohh look there’s one with a pacifier perfect! If indeed the pacifier is a self-soothing device for the child, it still should have been removed for the presser. The placement of the smart looking white boy in a suit next to him is particularly vicious. (the children are all innocent in this hellish comedy). And if anyone for one moment thinks “naw, this wasn’t racist” ask yourselves why you don’t think it’s racist. It is vile. I added this one, it’s a horrific story, but the casual reference to “living in filth like some 3rd world country” that’s casual racism. Poor folks are not dirty or filthy. Quite the contrary. #ThePoet
