Donald Trump Wanted A White-Versus-Black Season Of “The Apprentice”
uk progressive ^ | 23 May 2016

Posted on 05/23/2016 9:39:42 AM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

Explaining to listeners that he “wasn’t particularly happy” with the show’s most recent season, Trump said he was mulling “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African-Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.”

(In a bizarre bit of time-capsule trivia, multiple critics suggested Trump was inspired by a reality show that ABC had recently yanked before airing, Welcome to the Neighborhood, which would have allowed three white families in suburban Texas to choose their new neighbors from among a group of contestants that included Koreans, African-Americans, pagans, and a same-sex couple with an adopted black child.)

So Trump thought the blacks would be competitive? I see no problem with him thinking that way.

FWIW, this is a common situation on the Family Feud game show, particularly with Steve Harvey as host; it happens too often not to be pre-planned. Whether it has the effect of bringing in more viewers or not I do not know.

Like Family Feud?
That’s always a white family vs a non-white family.
Is that racist?

1) Both races are 100% equal.
2) it would be racist to have them compete because the black folks might lose.

Didn’t Survivor have a race based season?

It's a great idea, screw political correctness. When I worked in a diverse environment, I found that different minority groups tend toward unique strengths and weaknesses. It is a tendency, it's not an absolute, of course. Seeing how all blacks vs all whites problem solve would be fascinating.

In that diverse environment relying on recognizing strengths and approaches to problem solving in order to succeed (urban substitute teaching), it was obvious that priorities and solutions varied. I suspect it's a combination of heredity, culture, society norms and goals.

Can I say all that?

Yep, although I suspect they ‘merged’ the tribes earlier than planned, because the experiment was not moving in the direction they planned.

How did it take Hercules to clean the Augean stables?

Sorry the EPA would not allow that approach.

Note that 0 has borrowed us to infinity and beyond.
Can that every be changed?

Exactly!
But with all things Politically Correct, only the left are allowed to frame them.

A week ago they had a question on Family Feud, what is half black and half white.

There were two Pale Families on, and they went through every imaginable answer, cookies, zebras etc. except the obvious one.

Finally, one guy says “people”, and Steve Harvey says “the answer I was waiting for”. If I was there, my first answer would have been the one everyone was expecting, Obama.

Watching all those Lily White Folks being PC was a hoot.

“creating a team of successful African-Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.””

Survivor already did a season like that, and no one died.

The next one is Millennials Vs. Gen X.

This would have come and gone with not even a ripple.

“FWIW, this is a common situation on the Family Feud game show,”

Glad I’m not the only one that noticed this.

Steve Harvey has lots of melanin.
That makes it OK.

They could the hollywood version of the Turing test!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test

They could use zebras or chipmunks to act out the real action of the opposing groups.
Then at the end spring the results!

Indeed. And Hillary (and Obama) manufactured chaos in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Egypt - which led to 2 million people leaving for Europe. The largest refugee crisis since WWII.

anyone want to talk about that?
