Wanted: White criminals only
By Douglas MacKinnon
Wednesday, September 13, 2006
Recently, my wife and I started to watch a DVD we had rented, when, before the film even played, I learned something of great interest.
Apparently, in the world of creative entertainment, not only can white men not jump, but we represent most, if not all, of the criminal element.
Amy Trask, Chief Executive of the Oakland Raiders, is shown at their summer training camp in Napa, Calif., in this July 31, 2003 photo. The NFL's rule that at least one minority candidate be interviewed for each head coaching vacancy is the reason there are now a record seven black head coaches, six more than 16 years ago. The University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport credited the league's "Rooney Rule," adopted in late 2002, for the improvement. However, the report noted that the NFL _ and other pro men's sports, with the exception of basketball _ continued to lag in hiring women.

Before the movie spun, the motion picture industry had inserted a one minute infomercial on the evils of movie piracy and intellectual theft. To make their melodramatic point, they showed a criminal stealing a cell phone. Some thug breaking into a car. And just a total reprobate, stealing a purse. Truly awful people.
The point of course being, just like no decent, law abiding citizen would ever contemplate committing such vile crimes, no upright individual would ever consider downloading a movie off the internet, or buying a cheap, burned copy, with someone's popcorn in the bottom of the frame, from off the street.
Of course, in the pre-movie infomercial, all three criminals were white men. Which got me to thinking. In the make believe land of movies, television, and commercials, if there is a heinous crime to be committed, 99.9% of the time, it's now going to be done by a white guy. In fact, it has to be done by a white guy.
