You just gotta watch First 48 if you want to see real criminals.
---Or "Jail"...plenty of whites in there....



In fiction, blacks are always the wisest, deliberative sages whose
role it is to show everyone else the path to enlightenment. The
criminals are always white, and the whites are routinely misguided,
lost, impotent, bitter, angry, frustrated and in need of a black to
show them the way.
---This sounds like the Lifetime channel....didn't know you were a fan
of romantic drama....I'm sure you keep the tissues close....

Maybe this is projection on the part of the

dominant demographic in the entertainment industry.
---You don't read much fiction, do ya? BTW, in a popular TV series,
"Lost", the hero is a white doctor,

Jacks the hero?

----Of course he is....

Bull****.Actually i feel his whole angle is the writer is making you
think hes the hero and continually he lets people down and does
terrible things, he stalked his ex wife for one.


---That's it? He was so heartbroken that he couldn't let his wife go
without seeing her new squeeze? That's the evil Jack?

the only black guy sold out the
other survivors to escape the island

yes he did, but he did it to save his son, it was the same type of act
always on lost, it could be seen as doing evil to get a good result.

---Wasn't good for anybody else....

he killed the hispanic chick, he he maybe had to.

----Completly selfish....killed Hugo's new GF at the same time...

also what about his son?
i didnt see last season yet but the kid is played exactly as trav
says, the kid is wise and beyond good, hes angelic.

----I'm watching on DVD, I'm at the 4th season....try not to spoil it, OK?

and what of mr echo? he was a bad man who found god and sacrificed
himself over and over for the good of others.again, hes EXACTY what
trav says.

----So, they had a good, bad guy, and a bad black guy....actually, Mr
Echo was quite the killer back in Africa...

hes the typical tv black guy who says enigmatic, miyagi type things as
he sees the world in its true form with his black guy wisdom.


----Nah, his wisdom wasgleaned from his catholic upbringing and his
years as a child spldier in Africa....not from any inante black goodness..

And the white people are mostly druggies like charlie,

---Charlie beat heroin, and he had a life time supply...did you forget?
He's a hero...the other whites have all had heroic moments as well....

criminals like
the star chick, and evil geniuses like the bad guys leader.

---Face it, people like you would never believe in a black evil genius...

none are shown to have the wisdom the two black characters i name do,

----Sure they do...did you forget Locke? The Arab? And Jack, of
course....even the supposed con man, Sawyer, only became one to revenge
his Dads' murder suicide...and has been shown to be a big softy after
all...the only bad to the bone crims were buried alive.....

and what about the elderly black lady?
again she over and over makes her white husband see things clearly,
she has the special connection to the earth like only blacks and
indians do, she couldnt be more unrealistically flawless.

----Nah, she just has a better stream of unity with the Island, like
Locke did....like Ben does....


in fact the ONLY people on lost completely full of wisdom and self
sacrifice are black.

-------Bull****.....are you watching the same show?

the show you choose as an example almost totally proves travs point.

----Wrong.....but don't tell me anything past season 4....
