In a Brainwashed Nation

Why everytime we look on TV, it's always a title " White cop kills unarmed Black man." In 2014, Dillon Taylor(white) was shot by a black cop, and he was unarmed when shot. I say that to say, why didn't that tragedy go viral? If a young unarmed many is killed(any color) WHY SHOULD IT MATTER THE RACE? Why does the news seem to specify on certain races downfalls? Don't be fooled by some of the things that are going on that you see. Knowing that it's the media's job to stir up stuff, means that whatever we hear on TV(social medias) it's our job as people to read what we hear and investigate on our own.
I'm tired of seeing something on the news about how everything is bad in Black America. Don't let the media trick you, there's people EVERYDAY trying their hardest to boost their people. Also, not everyone from another race hates you. Media nowadays potrays the most stereotypical person the can find in a race and puts them on the big screen. Why? There's black people that HATE chicken and watermelon.(example)... As a nation we have to control our judgements, some of the stuff we watch on TV tries to tear us apart as a people. Even on a global scale, sometimes Nations get portrayed as bad, or they only highlight on the militant groups(terriost) Do your own research and you will have a better understanding on a situation. People are all different, come from different places, so you cant stereotype a person off of looks and assumptions, that's when you become a product of what's being pushed. Just stay alert, immanent in thought, and immutable in your ways!
Everyone has their own past  and story, so leave the stereotypes somewhere else and pass on positivity. I leave you with this thought: Is race the only thing that defines you?
