Frankly, since the mainstream media refuses to report black-on-black crime (presumably to avoid offending the sensitivities of particular ethnic minorities), I know that such refusal points out the progressivist bias that left-wing news outlets garble.
If this persists, I fear that we might no longer be allowed to determine whether Muslims have the capacity to become radicalized as Islamic terrorists, but instead we might find ourselves posting and/or reading articles that exclusively point out that whites are “inherently racist”.
What progressive journalism has done is not only the lowest blow in the form of sensationalism, but it has further sown the seeds of division and unwarranted reverse discrimination, be it ethnic, gender-based, or even merit-based.
Therefore, the answer is not soundbites or labels, but a shared identity and a common goal, both of them mutual.
