Television was invented by the white man.

It’s becoming more and more difficult to find anything decent on TV or with movies. I used to turn on the TV just to have some noise and a little entertainment. But with all the foul talk and violence, now I just prefer the silence.

Marxist Patrice Cullors rakes in the big bucks, from the “evil” capitalist system she theoretically abhors. How can a good Marxist rake in the cash, and be intellectually honest????

I used to like watching shows like Benson back in the day.

"(This begs the question: Why are most examples of oppression from the past?)"

It doesn't beg the question, it may raise it. To beg the question means to avoid it.

If black voices are absent or underrepresented in the media, it is hard to tell by looking at every major media presence.

Yeah, but what she means is that they haven't yet found a way to force people to listen. :)

One of the features of the overexposure of “Black Voices” on these platforms is the relentless focus on white racism. This focus requires us to attend to hatred and stigmatism, particularly historical incidents.

Unfortunately it distracts us from current problems. We need to attend to poor outcomes for African Americans, but the problems we need to focus on are not really historical. They are current.

There is often a poor fit for many African Americans, and indeed many others as well, in our current public school systems. If you are doing well, and college is your aspiration, schools are OK. If you are underperforming, bullied, temperamentally unsuited, or are just looking at some other future (farm, factory, homemaker, trucking...), then school can be hell.

African Americans, and many others, are not being well served by the dominant images of success. Sexual success, physical dominance and money are often presented as reasonable and attainable goals for young folks. All of these are inherently competitive. Half of Americans will be below average and disappointed if they use these measures. Family life and personal connections are better bets and religious institutions are better suited to support these other life goals.

I’m sure this article will be called “racist” or even “White
Supremacist” by folks who are committed to racial activism. In my view it is just a start toward a more productive activism that leads to better lives for those that are poorly served by our schools, our econonomy and our culture.

I have no idea what they're complaining about. Aliens approaching from space while scanning our broadcasts would have to determine that humankind went from majority Caucasian following tribal and moral parameters to a jumbled race shunning marriage except for non-reproductive homosexuals - a planet obviously crying out for a more sensible civilization to re-guide it.

Stephan Hawking was right - we should stop broadcasting into the ether and shut down SETI.

Black voices like Booker T. Washington, Walter E. Williams and Thomas Sowell need to be taught from first grade through college. And not just to black students.

Notice how tv ads usually depict white men as buffoons. Take a look at the tv shows and sports commentary shows to see what’s going on, more brainwashing of the American youth.

I’ve in the past read articles on marketing demographics. The demographic with the highest percentage of TV watching is the black community (particularly so in urban areas!). So the tilting in that direction makes sense for networks, etc. them, then add in “Wokeness” and you a have a TV entertainment portrayal of at least 50-50.

Warner Brothers signs a contract to put anti-american content, slander and lies on all of their platform to stir race hatred and division. Good Job Warner BROs.

Surely they have hit the bottom of the barrel for blacks on media. There are so many on now they must have found all of them that either want to be actors or whatever or are willing to be so.

The dominance of blacks on media and particularly broadcast television is nearly total in many respects and particularly in commercials. The 13% proportional representation has become more than equal.

We watch the Canadian series Murdoch which is about a Catholic Toronto detective.

In recent seasons superfluous black characters have been introduced. The black character strains credibility. It is more than obvious the program has been twisted around to be racially politically correct. The attempt to include black reality is just ludicrous because you know it never happened.

The 'Black Problem' in Television is the NEWS.

"If it bleeds; it leads" is their underlying mission statement.

They just HAVE to show 'bad things being done' to the world.

It's too bad that SO many of those things are done by black folks; that it colors the concept we honkies have of them.


They can run all the propaganda they wish with the 'regularly scheduled programs'; but that is not enough to wipe out the 'news'.

We have come to realize that if a description of race of any suspect is omitted; one can fairly well assume that it is; well; you know...

The vast majority of it is crap.

WTH does the skin color of the people producing the crap, starring in the crap, writing the crap have to do with it?!

Crap is crap.
