"Ripped From the Headlines"

BTW, when was the last time the guilty person was a black in an episode? At the beginning, many of the criminals were minorities. In recent years, the vast majority of the criminals are white.

There is an inverse relationship between the reality of black criminality, and its depiction on TV. According to leftwing groups like the Washington D.C., Sentencing Project, the percentage of black men between 220 and 30 years of age who are either in prison, on parole or probation, went up 33% (from 25% to 33%) between 1990 and 2000, yet the depiction of black men by the TV news and dramas steadily dropped during the same period.
