8 Common Practices That Will Never Solve Racism

Shame the Racists

Another growing trend in today’s digital world is to simply shame racist people. From the SAE members who proudly chanted racial slurs to former Clippers owner Donald Sterling who scolded his lover for bringing Black people to his games, too often the push for justice ends with people embarrassing a racist person. Broadcasting racist people to the world and even causing them to lose their job or get expelled doesn’t actually result in any progress for the Black community. Sterling is still as wealthy as ever and the fraternity members will learn to keep their chants behind closed doors and with cellphones turned off. Racism, however, will continue to be as bold and brash as it has ever been.

Simply Boost Black Wealth

Increasing income equality is certainly one of the key goals, but it certainly isn’t the solution to racism. A plethora of wealthy Black people, including Forest Whitaker and Jamie Foxx, have still been subjected to the ugliness of racism. It’s a sobering reminder that racism knows no bounds — not even socioeconomic ones. Racism impacts all Black people, wealthy or not. Income inequality is simply a piece of the puzzle when it comes to putting an end to racism.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
