In October 18’s episode of Star, Hollywood continues its audience-repelling strategy of using entertainment as a medium for heavy-handed, left-wing proselytizing.
The Fox drama follows main character Alex’s boyfriend, Derek—a Black Lives Matter activist—as he attempts to get out of his funk about being paralyzed and get out of the house. Alex encourages him to attend a Black Lives Matter meeting, because hey, nothing gets one out of one's funk quite like racist, anti-capitalist political activism.
Instead, Derek takes a trip to a convenience store in his wheelchair. While shopping, he observes two white racists harassing a Muslim female cashier wearing a hijab. This is Hollywood’s idea of everyday America -- white Islamophobes threatening a Muslim woman. The two men, Nick and his brother, are trying to buy cigarettes and chewing tobacco -- naturally, because everyone knows white rednecks and chewing tobacco go together like pork and beans.
More predictable stereotyping of white men ensues:
Nick: Two packs of cigs and, uh, two packs of chew.
Soraya: Can I see some I.D.?
Nick: You asking me for my I.D.? I'm an American. Where's your damn I.D.?
Soraya: I don't want any trouble. I just...
Nick: Shut up. I lost my damn job over some politically correct bull like this. You people taking everything from us. That Chinaman fired me…
‘Cause, you know, white people call Asians “Chinamen.” Not.
Soraya: I didn't take anything from you, and I suggest that you leave.
Nick: You leave this country. Leave something for my kid brother.
Derek attempts to intervene and stand up for the Muslim victim:
Derek: Hey, Yo. It's time to get out of here. Come on.
Brother: Stay out of this, gimp.
Nick: Attaboy.
The brothers dump Derek out of his wheelchair and then take off.
These characters aren't just the stereotypes of lazy screenwriting; they’re weapons of the Left's culture war against conservative America. With every scene like this one from Star, the message is being sent that Muslims are peaceful American patriots, whites are racist rednecks, and Black Lives Matter actually cares about black lives.
Never heard of the show. Will never watch it.
FNC is niche programming.
Note to FNC: Good luck with that.
I catch a bit of that crap when I switch to the local Fox affiliate for the evening news and I always wonder what audience it’s intended for.
Hollyweird is also trying hard to make your little boys into little girls.
FNC and the Fox Network are not the same.
Never heard of it either. Is this sarcasm? If not, some people at FOX needs to be fired.
Sorry, I meant FOX. Though it’s getting harder to tell the difference these days.
White men usually appear as goofy idiots in so many commercials. And black men usually appear as cool, collected, intelligent, good family people.
Also, blacks make up around 12.9% of the population. Seems they make up about half the commercials. If blacks truly want equality, how about giving them 12.9% of the commercial spots.
There are no worries about offending white men but they know they better not blacks.

And now that I think about it, maybe FNC is doing niche programming, too...Might explain a lot.
What that show needs is a modern Terry Rakolta. Not that it would help that POS show. Just say’n
The lefties are slipping up. They should have written the scene to have the rednecks throw the wheelchair bound guy off of a cruise ship...
Is there much that’s more nasty and mean-spirited than Pedowood?
What comedy show is this? I’ve got to get the whole series.
It’s ubiquitous.
***FNC and the Fox Network are not the same.***
In all my years with cable and DirecTV, I have NEVER EVEN ONCE watched anything on the Fox Network. But then, I rarely watch anything on the other alphabet networks either. TCM gets my eyeballs.
They also received 30% of Oscar nominations and 20% of Emmy nominations in acting categories this year.
