In our multi-ethnic class we got to see a snippet of a local news story that played on black stereotypes and the story (BARELY) of a Popeye's Chicken franchise that had run out of chicken.
Here I present to you a similar story that I came across sometime ago about a small community in Mobile, Alabama. While somewhat funny (funny?! HILARIOUS) because of the hype and hoopla being caused over a whole lot of nothing, think about what was running through the mind of the news broadcast's producer when thinking of airing this package. Might there have been a similar agenda to the video discussed in class and this one....
(I think the producer was a CRACKHEAD!)
P.S. - Halloween is around the corner and if you're in the mood for a really good-because-it's-bad horror flick, rent the movie with the same title as this blog - YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
