If They Gunned Me Down - Which Picture of You Would the Media Choose to Run?

Twitter Users Criticize Media Portrayals of Minority Deaths

This is a powerful campaign to show how the media picks certain pics to depict people in the media, purposely showing minorities in less professional or scholarly light.

A persons natural look is not flashing gang signs or flipping the bird.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
