“Mississippi, a state known for its rich culture and strong heritage, also faces some of the nation’s most glaring health disparities. Among them is the inequity in cervical-cancer prevention and treatment, which is often shaped by racism and systemic discrimination in health care,” writes Barbara Rose Brooks for @msfreepress. The solutions: Investments in community health clinics and cultural competency training, which would allow all Mississippians equal access to preventative health care.

In an editorial for @msfreepress, Kiden-Aloyse Smith discusses “Hood Feminism” by Mikki Kendall, and why its messaging around race and intersectionality is particularly resonant right now. “Despite Black folks making up 14% of the U.S. population, we make up 40% of missing-person cases for people under age 18,” she writes. “Black women’s and children’s cases are left untouched for decades — marked as runaways, marked as unworthy, marked as the ‘imperfect victim.’ When little Black girls go missing, it’s a deafening silence with a reminder that maybe if we were ‘good’ girls or white girls, we’d be found.”

"Media’s empathetic coverage of Luigi Mangione reveals an obsession with humanizing white male suspects."

~ Gloria Oladipo

Yes. And unfortunately, many of us do not want to hear or think about this important perspective on the Mangione story and why he has been embraced with such alacrity by folks on both right and left — while a man of color or a woman doing what Mangione did would not be similarly embraced.

Sherrilynn Ifill's commentary on how – and why – race and gender have been excised from analysis of the recent election is must-read analysis.

As she says, the "cohort of political experts" who dissect election results in the media may have particular knowledge and expertise, but "they also very particular blind-spots."
