Before I go into what I'm going to say, I just want to say that I am in no way racist, I love people of all colors, cultures, etc. and hope that nothing in this posts offends any of you.....

Ok, so I can't help but wonder why this year there's been such a rise in racial debate, fights, issues etc. and I almost wonder if sometimes the media is brainwashing us? Like, thinking back to like 2013/2014, racism wasn't exactly the biggest heated issue and it's just gotten so out of hand this year. Is propaganda getting the best of us, or has racism genuinely risen in the past year? Or is it just raising more awareness now that social media is increasing, but then again, social media is very manipulated as well at this point so I'm kind of just really confused in all honesty. The viralness of photos, videos, etc., especially the ones specifically about white people targeting black people just seem kind of odd and fishy at this point.

Let me know your thoughts....

Of course.

Yes, its so annoying.

The media and the sjws

in 2012 race wasn't much of a topic in our daily conversations, it has been blowing out of proportion for the last 3 years tbh

A bit yes, however there are discrepancies across race that needs to be acknowledged.

That's exactly what I'm saying!! Like, I never really thought much of it back when I was still in high school and now it's just like UR RACIST UR SEXIST UR TRANSPHOBIC UR FAT SHAMING UR THIS UR THAT

Like what is happening

I've noticed with, for instance, Police Brutality, they've gotten more coverage now than I've ever noticed it before and I can't tell if cops are getting stupider or if the media is just picking up on it more

Yes, of course. The media invented racism. And SJWs. And Tumblr. I wouldn't even know what race is if it weren't for The Media.

Not only that, before all this mess i didn't even notice or paid any attention to the race or country people are from.

Reading so much **** for the last years has made me notice all the heritage in people, I mean it's nothing bad, but it's clear that the mentality of people has been manipulated the last few years in America.

No.

Articles are written by people, for people, therefore what you're referring to is the general population.

Journalists are as much to blame as the people who contribute to the circulation of the publication.

Paparazzi, for example, are employed to provide photographs to publications for their readers - atrl for example. If you didn't want Blue Ivy, North West, Britney (breakdown), Winehouse (drugs) etc to be published, we first have to question why there are so many individuals who are more than happy to allow such images within the newspapers that they read and pay for.

Lmao no, the media holds people accountable for their actions which is great.
You know, it's so funny how uncomfortable white gay liberals get around racial issues (see:most of the responses on this thread)
They're all for minority unity when it benefits them, but once they have what they want (gay marriage being legal) now they're like "alright blacks, shut up, game's over! America is just and fair and we love everyone!"
The worst mentality.
