Obama: 'TV shows Should Have Some Muslim Characters That are Unrelated to National Security'
The Weekly Standard ^ | Feb. 03, 2016 4:57pm | Daniel Halper

video: President Obama took on the role of television critic in remarks today at the Islamic Society of Baltimore.

"Our television shows should have some Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security," the president said at the mosque, "because -- it's not that hard to do. There was a time when there were no black people on television. And you can tell good stories while still representing the reality of our communities."

“that represent our communities” ???

So Obola is admitting Muslims are his community now? (Well, they never were “not” his community, but it is his religion as well, right? Until corrected by his CNN press corpse.)

Remember.
Those are the POLICE targets.

Those are who the POLICE are being taught who to shoot.

There was a time when there were no black people on television.

Black people are STILL under-represented on TV ... in the role of "perpetrator" on police shows.

Why isn’t there a Muslim character in the original “Star Trek” series?

I have an idea...

YES! TV needs a lot more coverage and shows featuring Moslem terror attacks and murders and tortures and gang-rapes of innocent Christians and Jews and others...all around the world...

not because its pleasant...but because we need to be made aware of the grave danger to us that is Islam and especially the Islamic mass invasions of UK, Europe, USA

How about this, Clown Prince nobama. moozlums should stop murdering people all over the world. Until they police their crummy religion, they should appear nowhere...especially in this country.

You could easily mimic the Roadrunner cartoons, except have a Muslim such as Osama bin Laden, Keith Ellison, or Kareem Abdul-jabar as the Coyote and have a wily Christian such as Ronald Reagan be the Roadrunner. I think South Park did something like this. That’s a realistic Muslim character in a scenario not related to national security.

I’ll bet research would confirm that on TV in the past 20 years there has never been a Black person portrayed as any type of perpetrator of any crime whatsoever.

On TV criminals are always White males, and of course that is statistically accurate.

They could make a show about a secret Muslim from Indonesia, who pretends to be an American Christian. But he is really a Homosexual Muslim who hides his Sodomite ways by marrying a black woman. Anyhow, he goes to Ivy League Law School as a Foreign Student and eventually becomes President under an alias, only to wage a Secret Jihad in the Oval Office to destroy the last vestiges of a Free Nation.
