Recently, I was watching “Court TV”—only now, it's been renamed “Tru TV”—and I happened across a relatively new show called “Bait Car”.
Now, unbeknownst to me, this show premiered on August 6th, of 2007. But since I've never seen it before, to me, it looked liked a brand spanking new series.
About ten minutes into the episode, I wondered how this network could get away with televising something this repugnant.
For the uninitiated, this show is what it says it is: a TV series about a bait car that's placed in various Black and brown neighborhoods, so the cops can arrest anyone fool enough to jump in and try to steal it.
The Bait Car itself is a pretty hi-tech vehicle. It’s equipped with all the bells and whistles needed so TV viewers can see and hear the conversations of the doomed souls who hop inside and try to ride off. It's also equipped with a mechanism that lets any cop stop the car cold with a press of a button.
I sat and watched two episodes back to back before noticing how the cops on the show were primarily operating in latino neighborhoods. Again, I haven’t watched too many episodes of this program, but I'm sure they've set up stings in Black neighborhoods as well. What was painfully obvious is that no Bait Cars were parked in any poor white areas.
I'd love to see what would happen if they left a bait car near a trailer park somewhere south of the mason-dixon line.
But they're not gonna’ do that, cause beyond the white elite wanting to make southern white american culture seem cooler with shows like “Swamp Men”, “Duck Dynasty”, “The Shed”, etc., they're hell bent on keeping a Black and brown face on crime.
'Cause anyone reading this should know that white people don’t have the moral high-ground on anything. And don’t take my word for it, just watch a couple of episodes of “American Greed”...or one of my all time favorites, “To Catch a Predator”, and you'll know what I’m talking about.
I remember when To Catch a Predator was in it's heyday, anyone watching the show could clearly see that 99.9% of those perverts trying to put the moves on underage girls were white. In fact, the reputation it was giving white men was so bad, that on some episodes, I saw a small flat screen TV playing images of Black men on kitchen counter-tops, while the host Chris Hansen was interviewing the white male degenerates who drove to the house. This again, was an attempt to keep a Black face on crime.
And of course, even though the show had great ratings, it was cancelled, cause ultimately, the white elites won't allow the besmirching of the white male image.
Now, even though Bait Car caught some flack for entrapping these young men on TV, the loop hole the show and law enforcement found. was in the technical definition of “entrapment”.
Technically, entrapment is conduct by a law enforcement agent, inducing a person to commit an offense that the person would otherwise have been unlikely to commit. This, I guess, saves the ass of the show's producers and the Tru TV network.
Only problem is when I saw these young Black and brown men being put in cuffs, I didn't see one instance of them being “Mirandized”.
And it's MANDATORY that cops tell you of your Miranda rights immediately after they slap the cuffs on you.
For those who don't know, the Miranda rights are when cops say: "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law..."
But instead of doing that, these white gestapo-like cop jerkoffs start immediately asking these young men questions like: Do you have a record? Have you ever done this before? Who were you talking to on your phone?
That's a law suit waiting to happen.
And oddly enough, the two episodes I saw were ones where the car jackers were ALL spanish men. I guess they don't want to lock up too many brothas on this show 'cause it would make it look like what it really is...televised entrapment.
And here's another example of why I shake my head when spanish people are so gung-ho to affiliate themselves with whites, talk about how 'white' they are, or think whites have no prejudices towards them. And if any spanish person ever felt or feels this way, they should take a look at this program.
And for anyone interested, I've postulated a theory on why spanish people love whites who exploit them so much, and hate Black people who've never done a thing to them. I'll leave a link for it at the bottom of this post.
So, if you're anything like me, you'll send the folks at Tru TV a flaming e-mail or two in protest of this heinous show. I sincerely don't understand how this show stayed on as long as it has. You'd think someone in TV production land would have the moral decency to take this crap off or not even 'greenlight' it in the first place.
But, I'll have to come back to my right senses and remember my golden rule: NEVER OVERESTIMATE WHITE PEOPLE!
They'll disappoint you every time.
Later...

P.S.
Here's the link I promised for my Blog Post 'Why spanish people hate Black people'; check it out here.
I am white and I agree with you, they are only showing young black men doing crime, its like they are doing it deliberately to degrade black people, I think its wrong when there is so many young white men doing crime, but they don't show that only black crime, why?They must be racists.
ReplyDeleteActually, if you look more closely, I said the episodes I saw primarily showed SPANISH men committing these crimes.
DeleteI guess somewhere along the way, you saw only Black men trying to steal these cars...or you only thought of 'car-jackers' as Black men.
So don't think you've impressed me by agreeing with my point of view on this show.
Aw, knock off the crybaby routine.
ReplyDeleteNobody to blame but the mental midgets who are brain-dead enough to drive off in a car that isn't theirs.
It ain't rocket science. You don't like apples? Don't shake the tree.
Lord have mercy on society's dim-wits.
The realest nit-wits are the white people who created this show in the first place; who's the genius that thought this kind of entrapment would be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteAnd it wouldn't be so bad if they put one of these 'bait cars' in a trailer park to see what would happen, but somehow, they always seem to avoid putting these vehicles in poor white neighborhoods.
It ain't rocket science is right.
Can't help but notice how racist YOU are
ReplyDeleteFirst off, white people take liberties with the english language ALL THE TIME, but no one ever calls them on it. I mean, who heard of the word 'monetize' twenty years ago? Not only that, but they take liberties with this language to suit their own needs and/or to make them look better. I noticed when Black people had children out of wedlock, they were called 'illegitimate'; but when it was acknowledged whitey started doing this, you genetic dead-ends started calling this phenomenon 'single parenting'.
DeleteAnd when any pale-skinned person calls me a 'racist', I find it funny, 'cause one, there's only one 'race', that's the 'human race', what you're really talking about is 'ethnicity'; two, my people don't control the bigot run institutions that affect your lives, BUT YOUR PEOPLE DO AND YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING THIS WORLD INTO THE GROUND EVER SINCE YOU'VE BEEN IN POWER!
I still find it hard to believe how you people washed up on american shores sick and starving and the 'native' population fed and nursed you back to health...and what did you do? YOU PEOPLE KILLED THEM!
AND YOU STILL HAVE THE NERVE TO THINK YOU'RE 'NATIVE' TO THIS COUNTRY!
So go sell that 'racist' non-sense to someone who doesn't know better.
