They also showed structures that will fixate on how starter of the discourses is based on the black experience that will violate the dominantly defined potentials of the behaviours. They were also framed as people who had the power to spread the communism and cause a riot. For example Paul Robeson. In the first frames, the newsmakers frame the black celebrities within the community-level and the critical memory. They also pointed out the distraction, double standards and hypocrisies in the mainstream sphere of the public. They also framed the Olympic podiums, White House dinners, disaster fundraiser and also newspaper interview since they believe that black public figure presented a threat to the normative concept of the nation. Hence they left no space for the public location for the black character to express their dissent. They were also framed to their dissents. Their position on the anthem was also framed.
