Question 2-Diversity in the news
Diversity in the news is not right because when they talk about black people theres no good thing about us but when white people are on the news its always something good about white people.FOR EXAMPLE, yesterday i was watching channel 12 news and they had a white lady describing the suspect and she said he might was tall,wearing one of those white tees,AFRICAN AMERICAN,dark skin,black boots,baggy jeans,and he might of had dreads.But when the white man went to court for sexual assaulted a 10 year old girl he was innocent and everyone was cheering for him.

Quawan you make a good point. I do agree that the news is biased racially. Do you think that people in minority groups allow themselves to be defined by the nws media because they don't speak up or fight back?
Can you think of positive images of minorities in the news? Are there role models for diverse groups?
