  In the cheapy westerns of yesteryear, the rancher and his daughter could never cope with the villain and his henchmen. So the hero, usually in the white hat with his sidekick, came riding over the ridge and saved the day.

  I thought of that while watching some of the shows on Animal Planet, where local natives in any where, Africa, India, or South America cant cope with rogue elephants, big cats, or even huge fish, big enough to take a full grown man. So who comes in to save the day, to find the reason that some big cats started seeing humans as prey? Send for the white European or American guy to ride in over the ridge and save the day. I just saw a show about killer leopards in India where the big cat expert in India couldn’t handle the situation. Quick, send for the white guy from Scotland to save the day.

  In the 1970′s we started seeing commercials to send money to feed the starving children. The pictures that they always show are the children in Africa, South America & India, its always the white guy that rode over the ridge to feed the children. Forty years later, newer versions of that commercial are aired on TV, but its the same places, Africa, South America, India and different white people are there to aid in feeding the starving children.

  If the white guy is always the hero that rides over the ridge, what does that say about the other races. Why are they still starving and starving while their leaders live in palaces??
