Judge Judy - RACIST!

Ahh...here we go again. Another disgruntled former employee is suing his ex-employer because he feels he was wrongly terminated. To add fuel to the fire, implications of racism are brought forth. Far be it fom me to suggest that a minority employee might actually get fired for the legitimate reasons that were stated on his termination papers. Of course, if he WERE actually let go for the reasons provided he wouldn't have a case and we wouldn't be reading this. However, with a claim of racial bias we can get a case, national headlines and lots of harumphs and head shakes from the affected minority community. Specifically, here are the 'opinions' in question - THR, ESQ. Entertainment & Media Law Blog: Complaint Alleges Racial Screening of 'Judge Judy' Cases
OK. So, arguments of racism aside, is it wrong to do away with cases that don't bring viewers? After all, TV shows live and die by their ratings. If Judge Judy viewers prefer cases with white folk to cases with black folk should we sink the show in the name of racial equality? Let's be blunt here. BET would lose viewers by inviting Drew Carey and Ellen to do new shows. The conventional wisdom says that they would do much better by coming up with shows starring 50 Cent and Whitney Houston. This isn't racism, it's business. The Judge Judy program is free to aim shows at whatever they feel their demographic is.
Next, let's look at the allegations. The producer says he was told "We're not doing any more black shows;" "I don't want to hear no black language on T.V.;" "I don't want to hear black people arguing;" and other comments. So after seven years as a producer this is what he comes up with? I bet Judge Judy would call that evidence circumstatial at best. Maybe even simple opinion? Fine. Let's just say it is all true. Again, we are trying to keep a show alive by keeping ratings up by pandering to the core audience. If I am the core audience, I have changed the channel. I, too no longer wish to see black people arguing on TV. I am sick and tired of illiterate, cursing, trash talking, hip-hoppish caricatures of human beings on my television whining about how someone owes them something just because, yo. So, if you are in charge of the show, how do you win my viewership back? By playing shows I want to see. By eliminating the type of show that drove me away. If this practice is racist, I'm suing the producers of "Sisters!" I want more shows that concern issues that are important to ME, damnit!
To sum up, let's be blunt some more. I am sick and tired of 24% of the population determining 100% of what I see and hear on television. Between the hispanic and black communities, the crap being shoved down my throat in the name of "diversity" is really starting to tick me off. It isn't bad enough that the left-wing nut jobs are ruining every decent program out there by making it about their own political agenda (global warming, etc.) But whatever decent TV is left is besieged by worthless boycotts and lawsuits if there isn't enough 'color' in it. I wonder how many minorities who complain about the lack of their 'type' on TV have actually considered making the sacrifice of going to college, getting a degree and becoming a television writer? Probably very few, I'm guessing. Much easier to be part of the problem than the solution. Got fired? Get over it! And leave the race card in the deck where it belongs.
