My attempt at a quick menu of food for thought:

- Racism isn’t just a bad attitude. It’s systemic. It’s baked into our institutions, baked into who •owns• what, who •controls• what.

- Specifically, ownership of MSM is overwhelmingly white. That’s both an effect •and• a cause of racism.

- In a situation like this, it is grossly insufficient to wish away systemic and structural forces; we have to actively •counter• them.

- One of the best ways to counter those forces is to put the people they’ve marginalized in positions of actual power, give them actual ownership. That’s both redress for past harm •and• an active solution for the future.

TL;DR: more Black-owned media? Yes please.
