The liberals are complaining that an advertisement by John McCain pointing out a relationship between Barack Obama and Franklin Raines is racist. Why? Becuase Franklin Raines is black and the person who was portrayed as being hurt by the scandal was an elderly white woman. Since minorities where more likely to be the recipients of subprime loans (for which we must all pay now), would it make sense to have the vicitim be black?

This is the Willie Horton Syndrome. Let me explain.

George Bush effectively used an advertisement against Michael Dukakis in 1988. The ad told a truthful story about a weekend furlough program that Dukakis supported. A convicted felon serving a life sentence fled from his weekend furlough, killed a man and repeatedly raped his victims girlfriend.

The famous Willie Horton ad pointed used this crime to portray Dukakis was weak on crime. Having no defense, the Democrats claimed the ad was racist.

Here is something everyone should pay attention to. Next time a burglar alarm or home security system is showed on TV, pay attention to the actor that portrays the burglar . The actor is ALWAYS white.

This applies to sex as well. The next time you see a man-versus woman sporting contest on your favorite sit-com, take notice of who wins. It will either be a tie or that woman will beat the man. I realize they are looking for a story. The story would be boring if the man won, but I can’t remember the last time I saw a man beat a woman in a sport on TV. To Hollywood, uncoordinated men are funny…uncoordinated woman are not?

If you watched TV 24 hours a day, you would think that white men are criminals and terribly uncoordinated. I would like to coin the phrase the “Willie Horton Syndrome” as only portraying white men as the perpetrators of bad deeds.
