The Philadelphia Inquirer has apologized for using the headline “Buildings Matter, Too” on a commentary about the damage caused to buildings in the city during anti-racism protests following the death of George Floyd

.

“While no such comparison was intended, intent is ultimately irrelevant,” read the note signed by editor Gabriel Escobar, executive editor Stan Wischnowski and managing editor Patrick Kerkstra. They also apologized to the newspaper’s employees and its journalists, “particularly those of color, who expressed sadness, anger, and embarrassment in a two-hour newsroom-wide meeting Wednesday.”

Institutional racism. Now they believe that they have so many of them in positions of authority and power, they felt they can come out and its ok to be a racist. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to do all he did. I don't anymore.

Same thing major brands do; purposefully incite anger and then later 'apologize'. They damn well knew the effect that headline would have but they went ahead and printed it anyway.
