In other news, the sky is blue
Glad they acknowledged it.
“In other news, the sky is blue.” Wow, A+ commentary!
They had a Black historian look at their past issues and analyze them to discuss how the images and words they used were racist and the effects that racism had on people who read the magazine. It’s far more than a lot of other institutions have done. I don’t presume to know whether or how we can ever atone for racism (cough, REPARATIONS) but it does seem like a first step is acknowledging what you did was wrong and that you harmed people, apologizing, and then changing.

Yeah this is not an ‘we been knew’ moment. Those studies are because (to an extent) but this is a clear admission of guilt & if they change it’d literally b huge for POC everywhere
