The Mothership
Yes, I agree, it made a lot of white cops out to be a bunch of fuckheads. You're new, so we'll forgive you initially for misunderstanding the purpose of this site.

Potrod
I haven't seen enough of the show to really come to general conclusiosn but here we have a white crack addict redneck fuckup and a black crack addict fuckup. So I don't think this clip makes either race look better than the other. Seems like most of the time I flip through it it's rednecks anyway.

maitreya
The purpose of this site is apparently to make youtube look enlightened by comparison.

When COPS first aired, how many black people do you see on tv? How many were on COPS?

How many successful sitcoms star black actors? How many successful dramas portray black America as opposed to white
America?

Compare this to the success of COPS.

Oh god shut up

Comeuppance
Maitreya, I can't tell if you're a troll or an insufferable cunt.

Go back to your philosophy 101 class and talk about how America needs to stop its body image madness.

Scynne
Pretty sure it's "insufferable cunt."

Candlejackv616
No guys don't you see he's really deep, he sees past the bullshit! That's why he's got an account on here, yet implies this site is worse than Youtube.

maitreya
Man people sure get mad when you point out minstrel shows are racist.

Bonus points for idiots that never went to college that think body image or race relations are discussed in intro philosophy courses and think that saying poetv is worse than youtube is "implying" it.

KillerGazebo
Fine, Sociology. We said Philosophy so you wouldn't feel bad.

standard8mm
there is one race. its called human, get over yourself.

Riskbreaker
"Hey guyz, did you know people are racist on tv?"

facek
I feel sorry for these idiots that didn't go to college too, Maitreya, they'll never know the pain of being set up for an attempted rape that they didn't even do.

Hey guys, I want to be edgy and insult too!

wtf japan
Get back in your chat hole, arthropod. Most of us here have more valuable things in life to worry about than our reputations as self-identified intellectuals on the internet. We use this site to blow off steam--not each other.

You're not going to get in many exciting slapfights here. You're just going to be smothered in stupidity/mock intolerance until you shut up and schlep your miserable carcass back to the unaired cellar of despair that is poe news. So fuck along, now.

Enjoy
Is this the Cosby Show?

Hahaha.

5 just to piss maitreya off.

Hooker
I can't wait for the PoeN hysterics from this.

Chip
This woulda been a 5-star video even without the internet's only college student.

Syd Midnight
Some kids need to listen to some Bill Hicks concerts so they realize they're not the first person to have amazing catcher in the rye insights about how hypocritical and racist US television is. Yes, we realize.

Longshot-
God I fucking love diversity. Without it, where would all our racist jokes come from? Who would the COPS beat up, or film for that matter?

Rovin
Five because Maitreya said...

"When COPS first aired, how many black people do you see on tv? How many were on COPS?

How many successful sitcoms star black actors? How many successful dramas portray black America as opposed to white
America?"

... in regards to a video where the black woman is wearing a MARTIN T-shirt.

Keefu
you people are so dumb

Monkey Napoleon
So wait... what percentage of blacks to whites does it have to be to not be racist?

5 for maitreya... the most obnoxious poster in a while.

spikestoyiu
80% white, 10% black, 10% Asian

Ponasty
you realize that the term "guys" is an extremely misogynistic term?

Paracelsus
I don't know, I saw a lot of white methheads on the show. I also saw black and mexican cops. I guess you could make a case for a bad portrait of people of low socioeconomic status, but the kneejerk racism accusation seems sophomoric.

You haven't contributed much in the way of civil discourse yourself, buddy.
