Newsweek magazine’s cover story this week examines the longstanding effects of mental illness on one American family. Click here to read the Newsweek cover story.
My bad, did you really think Newsweek magazine wrote a cover story on Nafiza Ziyad‘s American family just two weeks after a video went public showing her having a psychotic moment on a MARTA train?
I hate to disappoint you. You see, that would have been too much like right.
It would have shown that Newsweek‘s editors were sensitive to the wider social issues of the public at large – not just the segment of the population that looks like them.
Don’t you know that as far as big media is concerned, there is no mental health crisis in the black community? And even if there was – who cares?
