The Lingering Fear: America's Unresolved Whitelash

Pulitzer-winning journalist Wesley Lowery argues that the rise of white grievance and white supremacist violence in the United States is not solely a response to the election of Barack Obama or social justice movements like Black Lives Matter, but rather a long-running pattern of white racial violence deeply embedded in American history. Lowery warns that America is ill-prepared to confront this "whitelash" as a political and cultural force, especially as the country heads into a contentious presidential election. He emphasizes the need for media to take responsibility in curating the public square and holding elected officials accountable for their rhetoric, as well as the importance of recognizing and addressing the deep-rooted racial resentment that fuels this violence.

Mass shootings spark massive protests in Serbia

Thousands of Serbians marched in silence in Belgrade to protest against the government's reaction to two mass shootings last week. Protesters demanded the resignation of top officials, including the Interior Minister and the director of the state security agency, and the dismissal of the government's Regulatory Committee for Electronic Media (REM) within a week. President Aleksandar Vucic has vowed to "disarm" Serbia with a plan to crack down on gun violence, including a freeze on gun permits and more psychological checks for owners.
