NEW POST It would be absurd to say that media’s absence of empathy implored for brown skin people is not deplorable. Of course, news outlets are guilty of disproportionately covering issues that have “lighter” connotations.

We most definitely should not rely on our social media friends either. If you want to know about Nigeria’s troubled history with internal turmoil start with “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe or even “Half of a Yellow Sun” By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. These books help to establish a base of knowledge below the surface and create a true space for discussion regarding what is going on in Nigeria. - See more at: bit.ly/1L268PI
