It's kind of interesting to compare the latest "boogie man" or at the very least, the latest scary lack man story to hold the sway of their audiences.
The last few weeks, although it seems like months and months to me, the media has been having a field day reporting the alleged abuses committed by Bill Cosby. The man, if all the stories even border on being true, must have been a paragon of testosterone!
Anyway, the once amiable comedian and his reputation have been vilified by the numerous women, via intense media coverage, who have all suddenly remembered, simultaneously, that they were each allegedly sexually abused during a drug induced episode, twenty, thirty and some as many as forty years ago.
On the other side of the media coin is a briefly covered story about an actor named Stephen Collins, the TV father figure in "7th Heaven". Mr. Collins did not allegedly engage in sex abuse with female children but has admitted to those acts and yet the MSM coverage has been minimal at best, especially when compared with the Cosby allegations.
It's very difficult not to assume (yeah, yeah I remember what it means to use this word) that the media has an agenda to demonize people of color not just in their reportage but in the sheer paucity of people of color in executive positions or even line positions in the media, especially Hollywood.
Is it any wonder that Sony executives (and probably most of Hollywood's executive elites) find it so easy to demean African Americans in assumed 'private' emails? One thing is certain, the media and the executive levels of the media remain "Lily White" because people of color have been and are considered less than human and surely not as talented as those that occupy those vaunted positions and many not because of talent!
I recently read a quote by a professor about torture and why so many defend its practice. It's kind of like racism. Being politically correct does not erase one's inability to accept another human being as an equal just because society judges those who are "out-loud" with their true feelings. Racism exists because people need to feel superior not because they are superior but because they are actually very frightened and insecure human beings that only feel good and secure when they are standing on someone's neck and especially their dreams!
