DEI Round Table Discussion- Racism in the Media
The notion of race is a social construct that has often been used to justify systems of domination and exploitation. Despite all efforts to deconstruct the racial prejudices inherited from the slave trade and colonial era, these representations continue to permeate political and even academic discourse, cultural expressions, and popular imagery.
DEI’s Racism in the Media May Round Table discussion will focus on how these representations continue to be used as a source of racial prejudice, the impact of racism, and the persistence of racial biases in contemporary societies. We'll explore where things are improving and where we still have a lot of work to do.
"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced" James Baldwin
"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent.” Malcolm X
Breakout Room Questions
Keeping these in mind as you review the pre-discussion resources will be helpful.
1. From the pre-discussion resources and your own knowledge of the subject, was there something introduced that you did not know before?
2. How does this issue align with LWV's work?
3. Will you look at Media and Entertainment in a different light?
4. What are questions we could send to our local media (Newspaper, TV News)?
5. From this discussions what questions could we ask candidates?
