All media entertainment does this of course, one would think that black men almost never commit rape or are serial killers watching TV or movies. Two of the worst offenders are Criminal Minds and the sanctimonious Law and Order. Criminal Minds features Derek Morgan as Shemar Moore, a black man who is often seen heroically protecting white women against those evil raping white men. Black men protecting white women against white men is featured regularly on TV and movie crime shows, usually doesn’t happen the other way around and if it does it’s always done in “sensitive” ways. Black men are usually not the rapists or serial killers but if they are the characterizations follow certain predictable patterns: <br /><br />Black man is accused of sexual crime but it turns out he’s innocent. The real perp surprise surprise, is a WHITE MAN!<br /><br />Black man commits sexually depraved crime but it turns out he did under the direction of a surprise surprise, a WHITE MAN! White guy had some hold over black guy (money, drugs) so black guy does something he normally wouldn’t do; black guy helped with crime but white guy did the actual act so black guy isn’t as responsible.<br /><br />Black guys shows remorse but white guys generally don’t.<br /><br />Black guy commits depraved act but a white guy commits an even more depraved act, for instance white guy turns out to be serial killer while black guy was just a rapist. In this the focus is always on the far more evil white guy while the black guy is dwelt on briefly. It’s OK to show black guys sometimes being evil as long as there’s a white guy around that’s worse.<br /><br />Black man is an evil depraved murder scum but it’s in a cartoonish comedic type movie or TV episode so it’s not really stereotyping anyone. It’s OK to use black men in those types of roles. I’m sure some people will claim they have seen black men characterized in negative ways but these type of roles are what they are really remembering.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I recall an episode of Law and Order which was started out with sex trafficking of women, it actually featured black men as the perps running things but then the episode skewed into a white supremist subplot that ended of overriding the original theme. This is speaks to the 5th example: You can have black men doings something bad but you have to mitigate it with white guys being worse. What better way than to contrast white supremists with black pimps/slavers? I’m trying to remember one time I’ve ever seen a black doing something bad just to be evil, maybe there some examples but I guarantee you they are rare. I’m sure writers, producers and actors would deny these biases exist in their scripts and if you started citing examples that couldn’t be denied they would then simply denounce you for being racist for even noticing.<br />I’ll end with a comment a scriptwriter made in an interview once (it was years ago and I can’t remember who it was or the exact wording): “We want young black people to take their cues from positive portrayals of black people not negative ones” That’s not an exact quote but that patronizing racist philosophy is endemic in the media and shows every time you watch a movie or TV program. It’s OK stereotype white men as racist, serial killing pedophiles but black men are treated with kid gloves. In my opinion the media has been the primary propaganda arm of the civil rights movement, white men have been shamed into ceasing crime against blacks, particularly sex crimes against black women, while black men have been subtly encouraged and ignored/apologized for when they commit crimes, especially sex crimes against white women.

The actual perps are mostly blacks who are lowbrow, stupid and disgusting with no redeeming qualities. The victims are sometimes fellow travelers but others are just very unfortunate people: shopkeepers, bystanders, holdup victims, etc. Watching it is dreary and depressing. One doesn't want to think how their life could suddenly end should some creep just happen to wander up to them.<br />Fantasy is what people want. They prefer entertainment featuring rich, treacherous white people scheming to commit the perfect crime. Reality is not appealing enough. Enough of this fare probably leads to many people being unable to distinguish between fact and fantasy.Chicago guynoreply@blogger.com
