@shel is there a good piece that analyzes the racism in reporting brown “terrorism” vs. white “mental illness” narratives? feels like this isn’t discussed often enough in the media

@shel I think the press tends to run conservative in the older sense of they go for what they consider sure sellers. So a Black church bombing *might* be something they’d call attention to, but this is somehow not proven sensationalistic enough *yet* (and implicates police not doing enough; journalists quickly lose all spine when it’s time to kiss up to police).
