Detroit News Muzzles Readers
By Colin Flaherty
12/13/13
The Detroit News is really upset about how its readers talk about race.
The same Detroit newspaper that publishes frequent stories on African American festivals, resorts, restaurants, talent shows, health care, breast cancer, academic achievement, art, schools, student performance, veterans, alumni, dropouts, healthy cooking, history, movies, museums, mayors, unemployment, diabetes, Catholic celebrations, heritage, firefighters, music, libraries, churches, racial profiling, photography, senior citizens, theater, churches, lawsuits, books, high school students, academic research, neighborhoods, hair, obesity, and HIV, is puzzled that so many of the people who comment on these stories are racist.
But first, some "context."
The same Detroit newspaper -- the largest in the state -- that publishes tons of stories about racial discrimination against black people in schools, local governments, elections, city contracts, criminal justice, jobs, businesses, and everywhere else is cannot figure out why so many of its readers post so many comments that are are so racially insensitive.
The same Detroit newspaper that published dozens of stories on Trayvon Martin and how the young African American man died "because he was black" and as a result, it was now open season on black people, wants to guide us to a more enlightened way of racial communication.
The same Detroit newspaper that cannot rush enough reporters to rallies where speakers say the bankruptcy of Detroit is due to white racism, is really upset that we are not more tolerant.
The same newspaper that features stories and columns about how opposition to Barack Obama is really just racism, in the same way that the paper reports on racism in hockey and public fountains, is pleading for us to open our minds.
The newspaper is of course the Detroit News, the banner outlet for MLive.com and other suburban papers throughout the region.
This is the same newspaper so quick to scoff at the racial element of the Knockout Game -- calling it a myth -- and so eager to dismiss and deny the black mob violence that is an everyday fact of life in the region.
Many documented in White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore it.
