Only the severely paranoid believe that “hatecrimes” are a serious problem in America.
Here is an advertisement the Anti-Defamation League published on theop-ed page (p A31) of the New York Times on June 4, 1997.
It is the notorious “Jail – A Place for Everyone” ad.
The ad is grim and crude – hamfisted in the extreme. It is so crudeone wonders about the intended audience. Indeed, the Hollywood moguls aresmoother. When they want to promote “tolerance” they producepropaganda pieces like “Pocahontas” in which blond white malesare portrayed succumbing to the lure of light skinned mulattoes, Aryanin form and stature, but with fuller lips, a moderate tan and large breasts.
Say what you like about the Hollywood moguls, they know how to comeup with propaganda that white men will watch.
The advertisement below is another thing entirely. One can only hopethat the ADL did not run this ad in Peoria or Dubuke. A recent poll runby the Criminal Justice Center at Sam Houston State University found thatfear of crime had doubled in the last 20 years, but that fear of “hatecrimes” was at the bottom of the list, below fear of children gettingporn on the Internet.
Only the severely paranoid believe that “hatecrimes” are a serious problem in America.
The headline in effect says, we create places for all of you in America,and if you don’t like your place, we have jails, lots of jails. Messageunderstood Rabbi Foxman!
This is the kind of ad that can only appeal to the Stalinist, totalitarianmindset of the ADL’s own contributors. But at least we now have clear identificationof the constituency that favors the police state, suppression of free speech,and the abolition of traditional freedoms in the U.S.
