Re: When good intentions get in the way....

[(Anonymous)]

You're questioning whether you should edit the truth in case reality makes someone feel bad? That is completely stupid. Reality is reality. You can't change peoples' ACTUAL, REAL LIFE races just in case someone who happens to be the same race as the shooter somehow feels that showing a photo of a shooter who happens to share their race somehow implies that all people of that race are bad. Anyone who feels that way is being ridiculous.

If a criminal is black, you can't edit him to be some other race, because that's lying about reality. If he was white, you wouldn't be thinking about changing it, would you? And it would be just as stupid to change it if he was white. The problem here isn't that the shooter happened to be black and the first responders happened to be white. The problem lies with the kind of people who see a shooter and first responders of certain races and make unfounded assumptions based solely on those races, whether the assumptions are "Black people bad and white people good!!1" or "Black people only bad because unfairness, white people bad all the time!!1" When what they should be thinking is "Murderers bad, people who stop murderers good." Race has fuck-all to do with that.

Actions are how people should be defined, and anyone who allows race to color their perception of reality has problems they need to work on, no matter how those perceptions are colored. Also, get any ideas about editing reality to be more "correct" out of your head. That is NOT what journalism should be about. You report the facts as they are, not as you think they should be.

Yeah...I'm not really sure where you get "editing the truth" out of all that. I'm talking the difference between running one of the photos inside with the jump instead of on the front. Not "changing races" or whatever the hell.

Reading the first post it sounds like you were looking for some black people responders or something, then wanting to change what you had. You didn't specify what the change was at all. Maybe that's cause you are stressed out right now, but if you look back, you'll see you really didn't clarify.

I see that now. Guess I should have said change my layout.

Your first post says that you were looking for a picture of first responders who were POC. I'm going to guess that's where so many people are getting hung up on race issues. Since your post is about, y'know, race issues.
