Sumario:In this article the author talks about social media is an open forum for intra-group voices and disagreement, but beyond, flattened stereotypes prevail. Topics include when black writers talk about class issues, like student loan debt or the cost of higher education and housing, they're typically presented in relation to black people only; mentions the working class must appear in our media as more than a problem to be solved or studied; and also mentions that Statue of Liberty is pulled out once a year for fireworks and even that seems rote.
