Analysis / Bias
The Black Wall Street Times focuses on news relevant to Tulsa’s Black community, adopting a progressive editorial stance. It emphasizes historical and contemporary issues affecting marginalized groups, particularly in Tulsa, Oklahoma. For example, articles like “Race Massacre Survivors to Present Before OK Supreme Court” highlight advocacy for justice related to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and stress the importance of historical accountability. Additionally, “Who Won Last Night’s Presidential Debate? Harris or Trump?” analyzes the debate, presenting Kamala Harris’s achievements and policies more favorably than Donald Trump’s.
The publication uses sources like The Washington Post and Pew Research to support its narratives, often emphasizing racial equity and social justice-related issues. Moreover, the “The Unyielding Truth of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” opinion piece argues strongly for DEI initiatives, illustrating the site’s consistent advocacy for inclusive policies, aligning with a left-leaning perspective.
These examples illustrate The Black Wall Street Times’ progressive tone and dedication to racial equity and historical justice issues, primarily catering to audiences interested in advocacy for marginalized communities.
