#iftheygunnedmedown – Killing Of Unarmed African American Teen Triggers Viral by thexyz: 11:22pm On Aug 13, 2014
If a black person makes the headlines in America, what photo would the media typically use to report the story?

iReportersnews brought you the report about the fatal shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old African-American teen Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer.

The incident sparked outrage across America, as well as other countries in the world including Nigeria. The killing is drawing comparisons to the murder of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis.
Black Twitter (Africans, African-Americans on Twitter) kicked off a hashtag criticising the use of images that depict black people in a negative light.
