November 26, 2004 Morality Not The Only Target on Monday Night Football
By Sam Francis
ABC Sports last week took careful aim at the "moral issues" that are said to have driven this month's national election and delivered a good swift kick to their dentures on national television.
The main reaction from viewers and the professional "family values" lobby has been to denounce the nudity and clearly implied sex of the now-notorious ad that promoted last week's Monday Night Football game. That's all well and good, but there was more going on in the ad that no one will mentionââ¬ârace.
The ad shows blonde white sexpot Nicolette Sheridan of the steamy "Desperate Housewives" series smooching up to black football star Terrell Owens in the locker room of the Philadelphia Eagles. Then the young lady drops her bath towel and jumps into Mr. Owens' not-exactly recalcitrant arms.
"Aw, hell," he leers, "the team's going to have to win without me."
In the aftermath of the similar reaction to CBS's showing of the Janet Jackson-Justin Timberlake flap during the Super Bowl last February, there can be little doubt the ABC ad was not just a blunder.
It was an intentional act of moral subversion.
It was filmed the Friday before, and in the aftermath of all the jabber about "moral issues" in the election, it ought to be transparent that it was intended as an act of political-cultural subversion as well.
In the CBS incident, Miss Jackson exposed her breast on camera during a performance with Mr. Timberlake. The Federal Communications Commission fined CBS, which broadcast the Super Bowl, the piddling sum of $550,000ââ¬âlittle more than lunch money, of course, for the big networks and hardly a deterrent to similar smacks at good taste in the future.
But taste and morality are by no means the ad's only targets.
Like the Jackson-Timberlake performance, the Owens-Sheridan ad was interracial and brazenly soââ¬âif only morals and taste had been the targets, the producers could easily have found white actresses who are less obviously Nordic than the golden-locked Miss Sheridan, but Nordic is what the ad's producers no doubt wanted.
For that matter, if you only wanted to take a swipe at morals and taste, you could find a black woman to rip her towel off or replace Mr. Owens with a famous white athlete (there are still a few).
But that wasn't the point, was it? The point was not just to hurl a pie in the face of morals and good taste but also of white racial and cultural identity. The message of the ad was that white women are eager to have sex with black men, that they should be eager, and that black men should take them up on it.
So far only one voice has mentioned the ad's racial meaning and denounced its "insensitivity" (to blacks)ââ¬âthat of black Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy.
Blacks are permitted to notice race. Whites aren't.
But the ad's message also was that interracial sex is normal and legitimate, a fairly radical concept for both the dominant media as well as its audience.
Nevertheless, for decades, interracial couples of different sexes have been sneaked into advertising, movies and television series, and almost certainly not because of popular demand from either race. The Owens-Sheridan match is only the most notorious to date.
In the minds of those who produced the ad, race is at least as important as the moral and aesthetic norms their ad subverts.
To them, the race as well as the religion, the morality, and the culture of the host society are all equally hostile and oppressive forces that need to be discredited, debunked and destroyed.
If the destruction can't happen at the polls or through the courts, they can always use the long march through the culture that control of the mass media allows.
Breaking down the sexual barriers between the races is a major weapon of cultural destruction because it means the dissolution of the cultural boundaries that define breeding and the family and, ultimately, the transmission and survival of the culture itself.
"We apologize," smirked the spokesman for those who sponsored the ad, Mark Mandel, the Vice President of ABC Sports.
Mr. Mandel of course ultimately reports to his own boss, Michael Eisner, chief executive of the Walt Disney Company that owns ABC.
And Mr. Eisner's Disney in recent years has become a battering ram against traditional American identity.
Re-electing President Bush and voting against homosexual marriage are well and good, but they won't defeat the real enemy in the moral, cultural and racial war that the likes of Mr. Mandel and Mr. Eisner are waging.
If American voters really are driven by the "moral issue," they need to drive a good bit further than Mr. Bush and his "family values" allies have suggested.

A friend of mine posted the link to the video on another board...

..."I thought it was kind of cool, myself," linebacker Marcus Washington said. "I enjoyed the skit."
...But Smith didn't find it racially offensive.
"I really can't go that far,'' he said. "I saw a naked lady with an athlete, period. Black, white, that doesn't really matter an awful lot to me.''
Dungy said [B]stereotypes exploited during the segment included the notion that athletes are sexual predators.[/B]
"That a guy was more concerned with that than the game, that's a terrible message to send," Dungy said. "I'm particularly sensitive to that. It could have been any player and I would have been outraged, but [B]being an African-American, it particularly hurt me."[/B]
"Anything I get involved with, I'm obviously a target," he said. "It happened."
Owens, a flashy player known for his outrageous touchdown celebrations, seemed to believe the skit was generating controversy because of his participation, not because of simulated nudity. [img]http://images.ibsys.com/2004/1117/3926189_320X240.jpg[/img]

Just as an aside, Tony Dungy is one ugly 'groid. His surname does him justice.

Robbie;
I'm not aware of any criminal, rude, or boorish behavior on the part of Mr. Dungy.
Anyone who could coach the luckless Tampa Bay Buccaneer football team as long as he did without going postal or ending up in the rubber room must have a fair amount of character.
The real villians in this case are, as usual, the yids who own ABC & run the rest of the brainwashing/televitz industry.

The difference is that Tony Dungy can be offended by the ad's racial overtones, say so, and the white sportstalk establishment will timidly burrow out of their rabbit-holes to champion his voicing of his opinion.
If, however, a Bill Cowher or a Marty Schottenheimer had offered the very same opinion, worded the same way, they would today be offering their tenth, tewelfth, twentieth 'heartfelt apology' for their 'rank insensitivitry'. (Given their teams' records at the moment, they wouldn't be forced to walk the plank. [I]Yet[/I].)
Suffice it to say, the rabbits would have scurried [I]en masse [/I] out of their holes - like it was mating season - to roundly condemn such racist sentiments.
This dichotomy is so self-evident that I don't recall a single voice raised after Dungy's statement to point this out. It's as if they were all wearing giant signboards proclaiming that [I]Tony Dungy can openly say what Rush Limbaugh must never be allowed to, and that's just the way it is[/I].
I might've made an additional comment on Eisner/Mandel/Disney but thankfully Fade has straightened me out on all that. ZOG? Jewish media? My God - only tattooed criminals in trailer homes still believe in [I]that [/I] wives' tale!
