Case in point...You mean like the Main Stream Media kept using this
photo of Trayvon Martin, when he was much younger instead of the photos
of him taken just days or weeks before he was shot?
crazy idea.
If you don't want certain pics to be used by the media, don't take those pics and post them online.
Or we could look at the photos they used of Hispanic George Zimmerman
Which was taken years before the self-defense shooting instead of the photos
Showing the injuries he received after being jumped from behind by Trayvon Martin and having his head bashed against the sidewalk and being punched in the face??
So you are upset at the media for posting pictures of them being themselves?

Ok take your perpetually confused act somewhere else
You're saying the pics that say ABC in the corner werent used by the media?

How was George Zimmerman shown most often?? In the Orange Jump suit or bleeding?

You're the one claiming the pictures are of blacks just being themselves and then complaining about them being used.
I understand you don't want to actually defend that stupid statement. But that is what you said.
There is a simple rule when it comes to photographs being used by the media. If you don't want one to be used, don't share it with the public. This is true whether you are black, white, hispanic, asian, or anyone else.
But rather than take responsibility for your own actions it's the media's fault.
The hashtag seeks to bring to light what some call a media bias against young black people. Their argument is that the media uses pictures of slain black men and women that show them looking quote thuggish or angry, instead of other available photos, they say, which would paint them in a more positive light given the circumstances.
#IfTheyGunnedMeDown has now gone viral, with Twitter users sharing their own thoughts and pictures about the Brown shooting, and also harkening back to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in early 2012.
The question raised here is whether or not the media apparatus is using photos on social media at whim, or if they are picking and choosing photos which subliminally or otherwise voice a bias.
