Inequality is basically created from peoples own bias against someone for being different, like Keke in the video (Wwnorton.com, 2017). She was being discriminated against just because the people that were doing the hiring felt a single mother or someone that is poor should not be hired.

In the past few years there has been an unimaginable number of cases of murdered black and brown bodies at the hands of those sworn to protect them. For my paper I am proposing to do an analysis on the way that news media sources cover these race-based controversies. Specifically, I want to discuss the impact mainstream media has in negatively framing the black victims of unmediated force. The continuation of mass produced misrepresentations of black communities has resulted in the formation of…
