@jennycohn What they did (even earlier than that) was put them in suits and ties, plant them on panels that treated them as ‘bold’ or ‘fresh new POV’, and had them appear ‘respectable/acceptable’. The old way of Brownshirts, armbands and screaming, doesn’t work as well as this introductory method. Shame on every producer who allowed, even sought them out for the tension factor of ratings. Ever since Geraldo got his nose broken, they all saw ‘value’ in racist content.
