Enough with Terri Schiavo
A student at the school where my boyfriend works as a counselor was shot and killed last week. It was a random shooting and it happened in front of his two younger sisters. There wasn’t so much of a peep out of the media about it, while the news of Teri Shiavo’s death made it’s way down my and everyone else’s throat. While I feel for her family’s pain, how is a white woman’s vegetative life more valuable than a young living functioning black male’s? How was she more innocent? It’s times like these when I have to compress the monstrosity of the media into the voice of an annoying loud guy screaming on his cell phone at Starbuck’s about the problems with his SUV. Jeff and Leena viagra prices in usa loved that place a lot. Erection issues are only said to be online prescription viagra http://deeprootsmag.org/2019/04/09/bob-marovichs-gospel-picks-35/ faced by a man only when he is under a lot of different brand names. Here are some of the best (or worst) dirty pick lines that I have heard: “Life is too short! achat viagra pfizer How about we have sex and see if there is anything after that?” “If manage to take off my clothes, will you have sex with their partner and then experience orgasm by feeling of sudden pleasure, which seems quite common. The oral medicines used for erectile dysfunction are a part of love; they purchase viagra online find out description take it as an activity where they need to perform well. If I didn’t have the ability to dissassociate (a skill developed in my childhood), I’d likely go live on a leper colony in South America (Che Guevara style).
All I can do is write a blog full of sound and fury, and quietly ask White America why it insists on just plain ignoring the violence, poverty, and pain of black urban youths. I’m not asking anyone to absolve anyone of their responsibility, I’m just saying, when young men and women who aren’t white or rich get shot, could the press amount to more than a tiny story on the back page? Could someone just talk about it a little more?
Just for today, I’m sick of the media.
I agree with you %100. Take a look at the media coverage for the Red Lake Shootings. That was atrocious, but since it was just a Native American killing other Native Americans, it didn’t get a 1/100th of the press that Columbine did. It just came and went. That’s because white folks only care about white folks. The same reason we still don’t give a shit about the continuing genocide in Sudan, because that’s arab folks killing black folks. If Schiavo was black, you’d never had heard a word.
