But hey, Libs gotta tell ya that TV's always been white and racist.

That said, I remember watching Sanford and Son and The Jeffersons as a kid.
Yeah, people can say TV's racist I guess.
Yeah but Trump doesn't like gays.....
I love how angry he is while bragging about how kind he is......typical christian CONservative wack job, also known as Trumptards these days.
You forgot Diff'rent Strokes. Oh wait....that was a white guy who adopted 2 black kids. That's racist. So was Webster!!!!
Ahh Liberals, creating victim classes wherever you go.
Our population breaks down as follows:
Non-Hispanic White - 63.7 %
Hispanic or Latino - 16.3 %
Non-Hispanic Black - 12.2 %
Non-Hispanic Asian - 4.7 %
Non-Hispanic two or more races - 1.9 %
Non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native - 0.7 %
Non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander - 0.2 %
Non-Hispanic some other race - 0.2 %
4 % of Americans represent as gay by some studies.
Hollywood, however, must portray a much more blended society than actually exists. In fact, one can't actually produce a show now without an equal representation of gays and minorities for fearing backlash. Forget that it's not at all representative of actual America where these victim classes (because that's what Liberals have turned them into - not people but victims) represent 16%, 12% and 4% of the population.
I'm watching the Netflix original - 13 Reasons. My son watched it. So I wanted to watch it. I'd heard about how it glorifies suicide, etc. I actually find it very good. Though far fetched, one can see how "bullying" isn't always outright bullying as we would think of it. How a series of small events and large events can intermingle to create a sense of desperation for the victim.
What I did find fascinating that I opposed in the show were the unrealistic character breakdowns - a cast of characters that 13 Reasons "depicts" as representative of every day America...::cough cough::
In the show, there is an openly gay male Hispanic student and his boyfriend (also non-white). There's a gay Asian girl and her two gay male parents (both dad). They insisted on showing a lesbian interaction between the straight girl star and the gay Asian girl. It was a point to show the gay parents of the Asian girl. And to show the jealousy of the gay male boyfriend of Tony, the gay Hispanic guy, that ultimately had nothing at all to do with the plot whatsoever - they just had to show it because, well, gay's gotta be the new normal. Even though 96% of America is straight.
Yes, the pendulum has swung. While Mayberry RFD was all white and not representative of society then, we've gone in the opposite direction where TV and Movies now depict a world where every other person is either a minority, gay, or both (as in 13 Reasons). Neither are representative of the real world.

[h=1]2 California families claim '13 Reasons Why' triggered teens' suicides[/h]
http://abcnews.go.com/US/california...ns-triggered-teens-suicides/story?id=48323640
I haven't watched the show but the whole premise is very dangerous for kids. Many kids who committ suicide are doing so to somehow get "revenge" on somebody they think wronged them and this series pretty much makes that reasoning heroic.
I don't give a **** what kind of supposed warning they put on it. This show should be Parental Locked by default.
They claim they wanted to make it realistic to somehow help kids struggling with suicidal thoughts. Bullshit. If they wanted to make it realistic and a deterrant, they would have showed all so called 13 reasons people not giving a **** when they heard the news while her loved ones are devastated.
I hope Netflix gets sued for billions.
All good points and this is what I feared when I heard about it. That other kids would see this - "hey a movie got made about a girl committing suicide, that's a good way to deal with my problems." I'm sorry to heart this is happening.
I think it's a double edged sword. To me, it deals with two real problems with young people in society today - bullying and suicide.
On the one hand, it does a great job - what I was referring to - of showing how little things students do to other students add up and while each individual incident may not seem like that big a deal, strung together you can see where these kids feel like the whole school or the whole world is out to get them.
On the other hand, Hannah Baker was a "star" and she was glorified in this show and it does make suicide look like a sexy option.
If I had the choice to make, I would vote the book and the series would never have hit the market.
I was at a BBQ this weekend, and a friend of mine who usually is the kindest, most giving person (albeit ultra liberal) told me she hopes Trump gets shot to death. I told her that even though I don't think he should be president, I would never wish that on anyone, he's still a human being with a family etc. She said she doesn't even consider him human and would celebrate if he was assassinated.
Scary to hear her say that. The derangement out there is really out of control

Wow. It doesn't really register how ****** up the left is until you hear it for yourself.

The center left, classical liberals are good people. ...and reasonable people.
The classic liberals created this class bullshit that is the foundation of the liberal/Marxist party of today. The "classic liberals" from places like Pittsburgh are the dumbest ***** of all. They buy into every democrat spin, and have no clue about anything that doesn't align with that. Most of them are at least a generation removed from a union, and they still act like a good union idiot.Which is why the Dems lost the working class left. The center left, classical liberals are good people. ...and reasonable people. The Democratic Party left them too.
But to all of you lefties. ........good luck with those trangender bathrooms and fighting nazism. Society has moved past you.

I am a liberal in the classical sense. Classical liberals believe that the natural state of man is liberty. Which is why I do not refer to the modern political left as liberal but rather neo-socialist. Classical liberals gave us the renaissance and the enlightenment. All of the founding fathers were liberals in the classical sense. Which is why they wrote the constitution so as to give us a small government republic. Thomas Jefferson said what you do so long as it does not pick my pocket your break my leg is of no consequence to me. I am not sure how the political left has become known as a "liberals" since their old philosophy and values are based on ruling their fellow man and violating his natural rights rather than respecting natural rights and allowing self governance.
I thought the founding fathers were pretty far to the right.
