For as long as I’ve been reading the Los Angeles Times, they have been a frenemy to Black L.A. — and the worse kind at that. In the photo, you see Black Lives Matter Los Angeles co-founder Dr. Melina Abdullah seemingly in a confrontation with a white woman. To begin, this white woman and her cult like to follow Black people in their grief, espousing their aggressive brand of communism. But do you think the Times used a photo that more accurately told the story about what happened? To add injury to insult, it also feeds into the angry Black woman trope.
