Are Black and White criminals portrayed accuratly in the media?

Question

The producers of COPS recently admitted that they get just as much clips of whites doing crime as blacks, but do to lower RATINGs when they show the WHITE criminals, they mainly show the Black clips. I even had to call into a TV News station and asked them what's up when they give the discription of a white person wanted for a crime, thejust say "..a 6 foot MAN" but when they are looking for a black person, they say "A BIG BLACK man 6 foot". It makes people believe that whites don't steal, rape or murder.

P.S. to Mr. Wise: In N.J. they Do mention thst the person is Black, not white and they addmitted it,saying assuming most people are white, it was only nessesary to mention when they weren't. But they said they would change there format 'cause whenever you run to your T.V. about something "bad", you do hear the word, "Black" which makes you associate Black with Bad.

Answer 1

I promise whites do just as much if not more bad than blacks. Its simple sterotypes. Just ignorant people. But you have to admit a black guy will fight the police alot harder than a white guy which just makes for better ratings.

Answer 2

Thats where you are wrong, when the individual is black they dont mention the color however when the individual is white they mention the color. Should notice your news much more careful next time. I believe the only ones that mention both colors are the newspapers.

Answer 3

This is not new. It is called institutional racism. This will only disappear as our children and their children become more educated and decide it is all stupid.

Answer 4

i think you right that's some real ****
