Outrage over Bigotry, Islamophobia in Wall Street Journal & New York Times

The Wall Street Journal is viewed beside The New York Times in New York City.

Murdoch owns the WSJ and The Lobby and is a heavy influence  MSM. Are Shock Jocks stealing their audience?

The nation’s leading newspapers were under fire this weekend after publishing opinion pieces seen as “Bigoted,” “Islamophobic,” “Racist,” and “Reckless.”

One thought on “Outrage over Bigotry, Islamophobia in Wall Street Journal & New York Times”

  1. Quite unfortunately, such ugly sentiment is too often handed down generation to generation, and regardless of color or creed. It may be further cemented by a misguided yet strong sense of entitlement, perhaps also acquired from one’s childhood environment.

    If it’s deliberate, rearing one’s impressionably very young children in such an environment of overt bigotry amounts to a formidable form of child abuse. It fails to prepare children for the practical reality of an increasingly diverse and populous society and workplace; it also makes it so much less likely those children will be emotionally content or (preferably) harmonious with their multicultural and multi-ethnic/-racial surroundings.

    Children reared into their adolescence and, eventually, young adulthood this way can often be angry yet not fully realize at precisely what. Then they may feel left with little choice but to move to another part of the land, where their own ethnicity/race predominates, preferably overwhelmingly so.

    If not for themselves, parents then should do their young children a big favor and NOT pass down onto their very impressionable offspring such sentiments and perceptions (nor implicit stereotypes and ‘humor,’ for that matter). Ironically, such rearing can make life much harder for one’s own children.

    Yet, this serious social/societal problem can/should be proactively prevented by allowing young children to become accustomed to other races in a harmoniously positive manner. The earliest years are typically the best time to instill and even solidify positive social-interaction life skills/traits into a very young brain/mind. And I can imagine this would be especially important to also achieve within one’s religious community.

    At a very young and therefore impressionable age, I was emphatically told by my mother about the exceptionally kind and caring nature of our Black family doctor. She never had anything disdainful to say about people of different races; in fact, she still enjoys watching/listening to the Middle Eastern and Indian subcontinental dancers and musicians on the multicultural channel.
