Well a start might be for the general messaging from every single mainstream media outlet and institution to change from "white people root cause" to "hey take responsibility for your own actions asshole".

I can imagine being a young black dude and hearing constantly from everyone how the country is racist and you'll always be held back and you basically have no agency to do anything to make a good life for yourself might make me more likely to say fuck it and become a professional criminal.

So ya know, maybe if the media stopped just lying constantly, every day, about essentially every story involving race, behaviors might change! It's just that, depressingly, dems *need* people to believe racism is worse than ever. It's their electoral bread and butter. They have a perverse incentive to ignore all the progress that has occurred and lie to young minorities about the nature of life in america, which to me is unconscionable.

Assuming I accept your assumption, how do you get media companies to do this? How do you fix it faster than within a single generation?

The main thing about prison I find pretty messed up is the raping. Like, the prisoners are literally in cages most of the time and there are armed guards everywhere, but they can't do anything about the.. forcible rapes? Like how is it that some of the worst imaginable crimes still happen *inside* prison? Rapes, shankings, gang beatings, gang riots.. There are cops everywhere! Wtf?

No clue, but I think it's still the main problem.

Legacy media is dying, so that's a good sign at least.

Aren't you the one implying the hypothetical non-white viewer has no agency in their own life and only do what the television dictates to them?

No, because many non-white viewers see through that shit and call it out. And then people of your ilk shit all over them for being race traitors or "black conservatives" who are somehow being tricked by white people into not believing they're super oppressed. This is *exactly* what msnbc and npr did with the affirmative action decision. They insisted it was just white people tricking asians into complaining about it, or some insane nonsense like that.

They absolutely cannot deviate from the script; it always has to be white people's fault. Some people find that extremely gross and racist and offensive, myself included.

Yeah but you're really sensitive and prone to saying a bunch of dumb shit really quickly because you think it makes you seem intelligent

Maybe just take your own advice and turn off the tv

I don't know cancelling them seems to send an enraging message to the the alt right.

Antifa just doesn't have the Jan 6 disruption power. Nothing says messed up like conservative party wanting to lynch their own Vice President.
