It seems that Rankine's solution is not necessarily wrong, but partial. Therefore, to make it more comprehensive, it would be important to consider the role of the media in facilitating the growth of public awareness of issues of racism, during prolonged periods of mourning. A solution would require a popular awareness of the media's role in providing those images of the black dead and interpreting those images for the public. The media must be balanced in its coverage of murdered African Americans, so as to cover not only the most sensational cases but also the most local and routine ones. The media taking on this role in times of prolonged national mourning is absolutely integral to the development of an informed and active public capable of taking part in addressing and remedying the problems of racism, whenever and wherever it may arise. in your local environment. The media must also commit to fostering dialogue and debate about the problems of racism in America, wherever they arise. Rather than telling stories solely for their sensational value, the media must facilitate a discussion about the injustice of Black lives lost to racial violence and the culture of racism that pervades the world.
