Here's why: name one Spanish-language public radio station in the U.S. I'll wait.
-
We know public radio,
@NPR especially, has done a dismal job when it comes to people of color. This includes Spanish speakers, too. -
The history of radio in the U.S., and public radio especially, is fascinating. It's also rooted in colonialism.
-
Radio is essentially a wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum. And we act as if this spectrum was God-given to some people. Not others.
-
When we say that whites conquered the land, we forget they also conquered the airwaves. No treaty was ever signed. It was just taken.
-
The idea that public radio is partially an anecdote to for-profit radio completely suspends this fact.
-
It only makes worse the practice of public radio as an almost all-white space on a conquered spectrum.
-
The whole idea of the commons in the U.S., and all of the Americas, could stand to think about what is common, to whom, and why.
