"Damiola Taylor, Stephen Lawrence and Anthony Walker are all recent examples of black victims receiving wide coverage.......but can you name any more?"
HEY EVERYONE, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS
Ian Blair the Metropolitan Police Commissioner recently said that he cant understand why the deaths of Holly and Jessica received extensive coverage. Do you agree?
Do you feel that black people in Britain are given equal coverage as white people when the victims of murder, assult, kidnap etc? Some may argue that there are more black criminals than black victims which explains the medias coverage, but others who disagree may say that the media is guiltly of institutional rasicsm. What do you think, if black victims are ignored by the media, is there a valid explanation for this?
