I guess it's not much different than TV shows today portraying Germans or Europeans as terrorists. For me, it's a real leap of faith to believe that. At least it somewhat portrays crime and it's main antagonist accurately by them being black. Statistics do not lie. My only beef is that there aren't more Latinos represented. Then it would be true to life minus the "two dimensional stock thug on which the episode spends a weirdly large amount time just fleshing out the nastiness".

"...more crime is committed by Caucasians than any other ethnicity in the United States..."Not as a percentage of the individual racial population. Blacks have a much higher rate of crime than Whites. I don't agree with the original poster's sentiment but you're also incorrect.

"ostentatious" means roughly the same thing as "glaringly".

...and i suspect you believe that african-americans shouldn't work at night as they are too dark to be seen (by the way at one point the 'black as night' theory was used to keep african-americans from many positions in the armed services thus relegating them to the low end jobs of cook, etc)....or maybe you believe that women could never be in a position of power as they are too emotional. of course your own theory doesn't explain why you are probably getting screwed over by your day gig and why your kids (and grandkids) won't enjoy the same quality of life that you believe you have....despite being run by hard working white men. lucky for you there is an 'underachieving' african american who will keep this country afloat (and might even improve both our quality of life) and unravel the mess the 'hard-working' white president left behind.
