   Newspapers' anti-Black framing doesn't just hurt Black people. It hurts white people and Asian people too. It scares people that don't know white US history into making poor decisions.

   The US passes laws not based on crime, but based on how white people feel about crime. How white people feel about crime, is largely based on fabrications by news coverage.

   US media can invent a crime wave whenever it is convenient. Usually around elections, or after any progressive politician or DA is elected.?
