Better Curation of Content Involving People of Color, and Less Thirst Traps!
I've been on AOL since 1997 and just over the past few years, in particular recently, I've notice a trend of predominantly negative articles in your news rotation involving people of color--in particular, African-Americans. I can pretty much bet any story with people of color will have controversy, murder, death in general, or other negative topics whenever I see a an African-American or African face. It's disproportionate and obvious, and very disappointing and sad, although it also seems to reflect a broader agenda by higher-ups in society. Can you please at least even it out a bit?! Run more positive stories??
At the same time as the above, I'm noticing many more sexually charged and "thirst trap" news articles offered involving women of the Caucasian persuasion--again, very obvious. I scroll past them, but I totally understand the intent, and my own opinion is that it's shameful, and is pushing an insidious and wicked agenda to promote the definition of beauty, and the sexualization of a certain type of women versus others. It's morally wrong among other things, and should be at least reeled in to some extent.
I would like to think you're better than this, but it's the way of our society, unfortunately, but you don't have to conform to the trend. There are other ways to "gain clicks" without resorting to divisive, biased, and unsavory means. Please reconsider your approach and seek to be a part of the solution rather than society's problems.
