This video is something that I came across less than a year ago following events such as the death of Freddie Gray, the Baltimore protests, and the Charleston Church shooting.  In the video we see how media coverage changes based on race, with one of the best examples being that a gathering of white people is labeled as an altercation or a dispute while a gathering of black people is labeled as a riot.  In watching this video, I feel that it is interesting to see the injustice that is present in media coverage.  Furthermore, after watching a film like Central Park Five, it is clear that not much has changed in the way that the media portrays people of color.  With that said, what are your thoughts on the video and on the topic in general?
