The role of the black media is actually to broaden the media and make it more inclusive by presenting voices, perspectives and stories that often go untold and unheard.
In fact, media that does not have space for the perspectives of other groups is what’s actually divisive, exclusive and problematic. I also see black media as a space for non-black people to learn and understand more about what’s going on in black culture
I am not sure whether there is someone who believes that the mainstream perspective is THE right and only perspective, that how a dominant group of people views the world is how it is. And it’s precisely for that reason that black media exists and is needed.
Differences aren’t a problem to me, it’s how we view differences that’s the problem. The world is full of people with different experiences and perspectives, and to have their own ethinic media should reflect that.
