Serious question:

Do you believe any media platform is an ally to social justice?


Here at home, there was a Zayne's bike shop that exploited immigrant labor. They chose to go on strike. They were out in force with signs, demanding basic things like sick time and standard working hours (Instead of triple shifts, sweatshop conditions)

No one reported this.


I have no idea why not, but it's not encouraging.



And just in a general sense, I'd like to know it you think, say, MSNBC might cover up an injustice for an affiliate, or in something they have a stake or investment in.


And if they would, who is holding them accountable?

Not quite. In the West, "black" and "white" don't usually refer to any specific country or continent. A black American from Utah and a black Rwandan from Kigali are all considered black. Similarly, a white French person from Bordeaux and a white American from Idaho are both considered white.

But, sometimes, cultural and regional differences are relevant to the conversation at hand, so people will just say African or European to avoid confusion.

If known, you'd probably just reference their nationality though. We'd just say Ethiopian if we know the person is Ethiopian.
