Prof. HotWind,
Prejudices. Let's talk briefly about BET, Black Entertainment Television. How much opposition would be aroused if someone was to try launching the White Entertainment Television Network?

Dear Disgusted,
I have wonderful news. You can tear the boards off your windows, put the rifles back in the gun case and eat uncanned foods again. WET exists! It began in 1949 showing Gene Autry and Hopalong Cassidy Westerns .
Sure, those rascally Black entertainers tried to infiltrate the White-man's gig ever since, making buffoons of themselves for us in Amos and Andy satires or that snake Rochester on the Milton Berle show, but rest assured, we Pink People never let them get much more substantial exposure than that. (Unless of course you want to throw "Sanford and Son" in my face. There was another wonderful example of Black sensitivity training at work.)
My memory of Blacks employed to advertise home products doesn't seem to stretch further back than the late seventies; Ahh, remember OJ running for his Rent-A-Car? Yeah, we troubled White folk are doing OK. We just always seemed to have more class . . . no running our cultural dominance up the flag pole or junk like that.
Better to lay low and control the buying power of the typical American couch potato. . . invisibly.
Reminds me of an essay I wrote last year I called "On the Liberal Media". You'll find it on the Blog, "August". It was a response to an e-mail from Harry that called on America to wake from the Liberal Media's hypnotic manipulation of the Nation's news services, undermining our war efforts and selling the country to our enemies. One afternoon of research was enough to gather statistics on Broadcast dominance, audience reach and Newspaper circulation. All results clearly supported the Conservative Right's vast superiority in the game. I urge you to read it.
I say, Let them have their little program . . . we'll simply use the remaing seven-hundred channels or so to quietly seduce "our own people" into puppet-like consumers with little regard for cultural content.
I simply hate it when the Star whines about the conditions of his dressing room. In your case, you made me laugh. Thanks.
