These comments are our initial reaction to the Redskins officially announcing its name change. We touch on the historical context of this move, why the name was polarizing in the first place, and round it out with an open dialogue about how nonpolarizing media can compete with the unending polarizing and click baited content that exists today.
BY NO MEANS is this meant to replace proper journalism around this topic. It is merely an authentic discussion between two people about what has happened and where we ought to move from here.
Let’s keep the conversation rolling!
These platforms are only as powerful as we let them be SO what do you think of this move?
