In Entman and Rojecki's essay " The Black Image in the White Mind" they state that contrary to how the media have portrayed white's view of blacks, whites have actually shown quite a bit of tolerance starting in the 1950s.
On Thursday we talked about the schema and the frame. The media creates how they want us to think about race and becuase humans are cognativly lazy we seem to go along with them. However, most whites are not as racially biased as the media make them out to be.
I think this is very well demonstrated by the fact that our country has just elected a black president, obviously we don't have that much of a racial biased towards blacks.
