In Eric Alterman’s article “Right-
Wing Racism: Past, Present-And Future” suggest that there is racism in the
media and politics and that there always will be racism. Alterman talks about
what some people in the media have said pertaining to race, how racism coasted Obama
votes in the 2008 and 2012 presidential election, how the past of racism and
what was social accepted but is now not is effecting people and what they do
know, and he talks about how “racism remains a consistent if rarely
acknowledged fact of modern American political life.” The author brings up
these points of racism and how the past is used in the future as racism or why
an African-American does what they do in order to explain that racism in the
media and politics will be never ending. The audience is someone in or working
in the media and people in politics that want to know about racism in media and
politics.
