In the wake of Ms Sadie Roberts-Joseph, a proposed method to help people organize through the efforts of local comedians.  Check out these links and how they polarize the fact that she was found in the trunk of a car. Any other time, this would be information that is pertinent to the investigation, but since this is a black person, "trunk of the car" is in every media platforms story. If this isn't an example of the media using the death of a black person to propagate the idea that black lives do not matter, then what is an example? Comedians and activists in the Louisiana area lets make a change in the way we are being represented. Even if it means starting our own media platforms.
