It's TV, so the vast majority of America believes it must be a true depiction of how we live.RaceBannon said:I've noticed a couple of things about the post 2020 pandemic FLoyd the Savior TV season
Black women showed up in leadership roles in all sorts of prime time shows where they weren't before
The million dollar real estate agents in NY all of a sudden had a black woman assistant who was key to their business. Not a prop
The bad guys continued to be the handsome rich well dressed white guy who as a cheating businessman and murderer
The FBI shows had a new white supremacist group every week and a new Black female agent
It reminded me of the 70's which was the last time the racists in hollywood decided they needed to teach us racists a lesson or two
It's malarkey but its TV so beyond pointing out how stupid it is it is what it is -

Peggy Lipton. Hot as balls.
People forget she's Rashida Jone's mom. People forget that. And Finland.

Security system ads only dare to use white middle class men to portray the burglar. They won’t even go the crazed meth addict route.RaceBannon said:I've noticed a couple of things about the post 2020 pandemic FLoyd the Savior TV season

Early 90s living in LA, crime was a big issue. Local political race, I don't recall if it was Sherriff or city council or county office, but one of the candidates put out a mailer that depicted a car-jacking. Of course the car jacker was a white guy with a scruffy beard.MikeDamone said:

Pretty safe to bet that white guys probably made up less than 1% of all LA country car jackers.

1999
Conservative commentators have taken to repeating the mantra that Al Gore introduced Willie Horton, the inflammatory racial symbol who enlivened the 1988 presidential race, to political debate in America. On Oct. 24, William Kristol, editor and publisher of the Weekly Standard, said on ABC’s This Week:
Gore’s a mean, tough political fighter. Gore is the one who introduced Willie Horton to American politics in the 1988 primary against Mike Dukakis.
Kristol repeated this, almost verbatim, in a “Memo to Bill Bradley” that appeared in the issue of Newsweek that hit newsstands the following day:
Big Al can be a tough, mean player. After all, he’s the guy who introduced Willie Horton to the American public in his primary campaign against Michael Dukakis.
Gore did ask Dukakis, in a debate right before the 1988 New York primary, about “weekend passes for convicted criminals.” Here is how Sidney Blumenthal, now a Clinton White House aide but then a reporter for the Washington Post, wrote it up a few months later:
An uncomfortable Dukakis, after dispassionately reciting statistics, conceded that the Massachusetts furlough program for murderers sentenced to life imprisonment had been canceled .The issue did not take for Gore, but the exchange attracted the interest of Jim Pinkerton, the research director for the then flailing Bush campaign. “That’s the first time I paid attention,” said Pinkerton. “I thought to myself, ‘This is incredible’ …It totally fell into our lap.”
In reviewing this history, it’s important to make some crucial distinctions. Gore never mentioned that Horton was black; indeed, he never mentioned Horton by name. He merely drew attention, correctly, to the damaging fact that Dukakis had tolerated a furlough program for especially violent criminals in his state even after a horrific incident strongly suggested this was a bad policy. It’s conceivable, of course, that Gore was warming up for more explicit and racially tinged use of Horton’s story later in the primary fight. But that would have been uncharacteristic of him. In any event, Gore dropped out of the race shortly after the debate
Gore brought it up but he didn't mean to then the racist Bush SAID HIS NAME -
I put up a Ring security camera a few months back. If you have Ring you'll know what I'm talking about. Everyone within a certain mile radius that you pick, can post video and still shots of anything their Ring camera picks up. So you get a lot of video of dirt bags stealing Amazon packages off of people's porches, auto-burglary, people sawing off the catalytic converters of Prius owners and the occasional prowler checking to see if someone forgot to lock their doors.
Lets just say, the Ads depicting the criminals don't quite match the video being posted. -

I had to Ring the house to keep the missus happy. We get coyote sightings and ner do wells going after Amazon. Now Ring has an option where Amazon can put the package in your garage

There was nothing "racist" about using the Willie Horton ad. This is the same mentality that stops BART from showing their security video of people who are committing crimes on their trains.RaceBannon said:https://slate.com/news-and-politics/1999/11/did-gore-hatch-horton.html

Horton did what he did, and he was on furlough from a Massachusetts state prison. If Horton was really a white guy and they were claiming he was black then that would be racist. But accurately showing a picture of the person who committed the crime isn't fucking racist. -
Willie Horton - the original George Floyd to the left. There goes my hero, watch him as he goes.SFGbob said:
