Tried to make a "Me too" hashtag in reply to "I vaguely remember this", but turns out hashtags turn your text into giant bold font, and it came out gauche. Failed attempt, just editing this and leaving it here instead of deleting, because I'm a New Account and I don't want the mods to think I was trying to cause trouble then deleted it. Apologies.
But yeah, the media's been sick for at least that long. My experiences have mostly been positive. I do have some experiences like OZ00's when I lived in a poor, majority black neighborhood in my early 20s. But at the same time, I also remember getting stopped by police riding my bike home from work in the same neighborhood because I was white, and "What was I doing here? It's dangerous." So...
I chalk a lot of this up to the pressure cooker that is poverty.
