Really….? Oh so that’s who causes all the trouble!

Today I was reading through the New Zealand Herald, there was an article on the recent Riot’s in London and I came across an image of six white policemen arresting one black man. First off to just say this is interesting… but take a look at this image and see how the white policemen are all surrounding him and even choking him, in a sense they are showing complete dominance. I find that this image has a strong sense of Stuart Hall’s ‘White Eye’ concept and how it heavily affects the media. “Why did the media choose this image to depict the riots in London?” It may have started out as a black protest for justice on an alleged racial outcome but I get a strong sense of white people trying to portray a view of dominance and power. “Don’t mess with us because you will lose”. You could even go as far to say that the media is subtly portraying whites as the dominant race.
