28. The media's continued murder of Nipsey Hussle (& black people overall)
from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga
The media is still killing Nipsey Hussle in two ways: 1) by painting his murder as only a gang issue as opposed to tying it to America's greater gun violence problem and 2) the continual airing of the killing of black people, which does not happen other people are murdered, like the white journalist who was murdered on air. TV networks said they didn't want to air it out of respect for the journalist's family but killings of black people stay on loop from Eric Garner to Nipsey. It's just wrong.
