Media must take the lead

The catalyst was the murder of George Floyd, but racism was there long before Floyd. The next “catalyst” was wokeism, then fear; fear of offending any minority, defunding the police, not punishing crime, hiring DAs who won’t prosecute criminals, no bail, putting criminals back on the street to commit more crime. Defunding didn’t play well with the public, so it became “re-directing” or “reforming.” Still, the fringe left wing wants to defund or even eliminate the police altogether! Racism is perpetuated by people in media, so-called journalists who perpetuate racism, blaming it for everything.
