“This is not to say the pursuit of truth isn’t important, but realizing that “objectivity” has always reinforced white worldviews.”

This here alone!

This is incredibly encouraging to hear when I've been discouraged for my empathy in a space that I think it is needed, as a fellow journalist (albeit very very green). Thank you.

Ooh, I LOVE when Black people ignore white nonsense and live their lives exactly as they deem fit . . . To get some upset because someone had an encouraging word and call it "fake news" is really just the simplest minded thing.

I appreciate her words because all these players and coaches get is a hammer brought down on them when they aren’t winning.

Thank you for sharing this insight. She is a powerful woman and she knows it, and I think her detractors know she is skilled too. They really couldn't wait to speak down on someone not following typical rules for engagement in journalism. But Coach's response says a lot more to me than their words. Her impressive resume also speaks loudly to her abilities.

Kudos to Ms Lynn Jones-Turpin👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Society always got something to say when a black person doesn’t fall in line!!

And that narrative about journalist being objective!! That’s some bullshit, just another narrative spewed when it’s convenient by the main stream white media!

Does anyone know if that woman who giggled over Sydney Sweeney instead of asking her if she's a white supremacist still has her job?

Objective = mainstream. Mainstream = Predominantly white press. Great article, insights and I LOVE her response.
