Racism Has Widely Spread Through Media
Racism has arguably been deep-rooted in the American mindset from the nation’s birth as many white people believe that the country is theirs and only theirs. The media became a way for people to boldly voice their opinions without reprisals as they could hide behind a screen, therefore, the hate and vitriol against people of color started coming through the media.
The advent of social media has also given a way for many racists to show their unfiltered hatred on different platforms without consequences, such as Twitter and Facebook. The large tech companies are doing little to nothing about it as it generates viewers and therefore more opportunities to make money from advertisements.
