EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Politically Incorrect Postcard: The Color Supplement of Early 20th Century Communications" This vintage postcard, hailing from the early 1900s, presents a striking and thought-provoking image that offers a glimpse into the past. The title of the supplement printed on the postcard reads, "COLOUR SUPPLEMENT," with the words "Day all looks fo me cause I se de Cullud Supplement" written below. The postcard, despite its age, carries a poignant message that resonates with the complex history of race relations and media representation. The phrase "Day all looks fo me cause I se de Cullud Supplement" can be interpreted as a commentary on the desire for greater representation and recognition in society, particularly in the realm of media and communications. During the early 20th century, newspapers and press played a significant role in shaping public opinion and disseminating information. However, the representation of people of color in these media outlets was often limited and stereotypical. The emergence of "color supplements" or "race supplements" in newspapers aimed to address this issue by providing more comprehensive coverage of the Black community. This postcard serves as a reminder of the historical context in which these supplements emerged and the ongoing struggle for equitable representation in media. The politically incorrect language used in the title of the supplement may be jarring to modern sensibilities, but it underscores the complex and nuanced history of race and media representation. In conclusion, this postcard offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and sheds light on the evolving role of media in shaping public discourse and representation. It serves as a reminder of the progress made and the challenges that still exist in the realm of media and communications, particularly in relation to race and ethnicity.
