Quote by Rev. Al Sharpton
If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicize a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey... then I should be praised for it, and it's more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.
Summary
This quote suggests that the use of media manipulation or tactics to draw attention to an incident involving the unjust shooting of a black youth in a suburban area should be acknowledged. It argues that if such measures are necessary to make the media highlight such a tragedy, the focus should be on the media's failure to prioritize reporting on the loss of life rather than criticizing the methods used to bring attention to the issue. The quote challenges the media's selective coverage and portrays using tricks to ensure coverage as an effective strategy.
