So, what do you think would be a more offensively racist display to put on TV during prime time?

a) Showing a movie in which a white man wears a placard with the phrase "I hate Niggers" in a predominantly black neighorhood, and is subsequently attacked by a mob of young black men who were outraged by this display of deliberately anatgonistic racism.

b) Showing a movie in which a white man wears a placard with the phrase "I hate everyone" in a predominantly black neighborhood, and is subsequently attacked by a mob of young black men who were outraged by nothing more than this rather odd display of general misanthropy.


If you chose a), and proceeded to edit that scene so that it becomes as in b), you too could be an executive at Fox Television.

(the movie in question is Die Hard With a Vengeance )
