I also saw that on Fox News they laughed about Nipsey’s death and spoke about his death in relation to a song that he has with rapper YG called FDT (F**k Donald Trump). I think not only do we need more reporters of color, we need more reporters that are allies. I also think that the current racist reporters should be held more accountable for their words. A public apology does not seem to be enough.

This reminded me of a group project I was a part of last year that looked at how crime reports often disproportionately represent people of color in the news and media, making them appear more dangerous and threatening to the community. I’m wondering if more reporters of color in the field is necessary as well.
