Still, TV has shown some of America's greatest cities under siege. It has shown Negroes carrying out loot from burned-out stores, sometimes while policemen and troops looked the other way. This sight, perhaps more than any other, contributes to the belief that Negroes are basically indolent and immoral, that law enforcement in the U.S. has broken down, that the black man is getting preferential treatment.
