Yes @emptywheel. Thank you. Now let’s ask why& what the consequences are of the media & expert analysts on cable TV constantly whitewashing Trump’s targeting of Black voters.Below are my tweets from the KKK Act suit the NAACP LDF filed right after the election. It was there in plain sight.

Trump's Attack on Black Votes Was There the Whole Time, We Just Didn't Call It a Crime - emptywheel

Trump deployed threats of violence to make it harder to count the votes of Black and Latino voters but no one treated it as a crime.

@ifilljustice @emptywheel Feature, not bug.The majority of the teleprompter-reading talking heads on TV are white millionaires paid by white billionaires, so of course the concerns of marginalized communities who aren't rich white people are always going to fall underneath their radar.
