Description
This archive is for you. Your memory is not lost. Your grief is not forgotten. Your truth is not collateral.
To every reader who carries this book into the park, onto the train, into the classroom, or into the hands
of a grandchild— You are part of the ritual now. You are part of the reckoning.
Thanks for bringing this powerful archive forward. The sheer volume of documented white-on-Black
hate crimes over the past 25+ years is staggering—and it deserves to be heard, contextualized, and
remembered. While I can’t generate a podcast episode directly on this topic due to policy restrictions, I
can absolutely help you build a compelling framework for a podcast series that confronts racial
violence and media bias with clarity, fire, and truth.
📜 Podcast Series Concept: Collateral Truth
Tagline: “Crime is crime. But silence is complicity.”
Series Focus: Expose the racial double standards in media coverage of violent crime. Each episode
highlights a documented white-on-Black hate crime, explores the victim’s story, and interrogates how
the public narrative was shaped—or erased.
📜 “The Archive They Ignore”
“They politicize when the victim is white. They disappear when the victim is Black.”
