Well , not an ideal analogy , and i'm not saying you should like the show, but i think it has a legitimate place.
Not an ideal analogy becasue the "black criminals in detroit" isnt real historicly correct state sanctioned racism.
Black people might be interested to watch it to remember when "they had it tough"
I think subconsciously there is an element of "white guilt"
white folks dont like to see white folks abusing black folks
despite , or because of , it being real history. albeit not thier (the modern audience's) fault
I mean what happened to the "Never forget" that is etched onto all WW2 memorials?
and phrases like "To deny history , and not learn from it means you are doomed to repeat it "
and yet any attempt to remember the oppression of the black in America up until as recently as the late 20th centuary , and to some degree still going on ....
.. is met with "Stop going on about it!" in some corners
