Abstract

Bölgesel olarak ortaya çıkan bir olayın küresel bir olaya dönüşümünde medya, ekonomi, siyaset ve toplumsal olaylar doğrudan rol oynamaktadır. Twitter’ın olayların değişmesinde ve dönüşmesinde etkili bir rol aldığı söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada, Minnesota’da, 25 Mayıs 2020 tarihinde George Floyd’un öldürülmesi olayının medya, ekonomi ve siyaset bağlamında ırkçılık karşıtı söylemler ve protestoların nasıl bir etki yarattığı ele alınmaktadır. ABD’nin eski siyasi lideri Barack Obama’nın Twitter’daki 25 Mayıs ve 25 Haziran arasındaki paylaşımları eleştirel söylem analizi metodu çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Olaylarla ilgili ilk paylaşımın 29 Mayıs 2020’de olduğu ve son paylaşımın ise 16 Haziran 2020’de olduğu görülmektedir. Bu tarihler arasında ırkçılık karşıtlığıyla ve protestolarla ilgili on adet tweet paylaşılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda, ABD eski başkanı Barack Obama’nın olumlayıcı, teşvik edici bir dil kullandığı tespit edilmiştir. Protestolardaki gençlerin haksızlığa karşı seslerini yükseltmesinin, Barack Obama’ya göre değişimi başlatacak umut verici bir olay olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
