As the popular uprising against the white-supremacist police regime continues in the US, even Western media institutions notice their own duplicity in how the people’s revolt is covered.
The Washington Post published a column by Karen Attiah, Ghanaian-American writer and Global Opinions editor for the paper titled, How Western media would cover Minneapolis if it happened in another country.
In her satirical column Attiah points out how the Western media would dramatize the people’s revolt and push the interventionist narrative if it occurred in another country.
Attiah ends her column with a very real description of the current state of affairs in the decaying empire – “It’s sad that the Americans don’t have a government that can get them coronavirus tests or even monthly checks to be able to feed their families,” said Charlotte Johnson, an 18-year-old Liberian student activist, who survived the Ebola pandemic. “100,000 people are dead, cities are burning, and the country hasn’t had a day of mourning? Lives don’t matter, especially not black lives. It’s like they’re living in a failing state.”
