THis is a relatively new program that I've been watching since its inception, and I find it fairly interesting, if far fetched. I guess it is on the borderline of science-fiction, as the premise is that some software genius has built a system that integrates the thousands of street and business cameras in New York City, and analyzes what they "see" to predict when someone is likely to be involved in a serious crime, usually as a victim. Usually a homicide victim. The hero, an actor f/k/a "Jesus Christ," steps in, figures out what is coming, and saves the would-be victim from harm.
It occurred to me recently that none of the would-be victims are of black African ancestry.
If the stories are about homicides in New York, wouldn't you think the "machine" would perceive the occasional (so-called) Black Person as a likely victim? I mean, really.
It is so conspicuous that I wonder why no "Black" advocacy group has made a fuss. Don't "Black" people count? Isn't it a tragedy when one of them is killed? Why does the Machine only want to save white people?
Maybe no "Blacks" watch the show. One of the main characters - rather positively portrayed, I would say - is a "black" police detective.

Many could be being flagged up as real criminals to the "real" owners of the machine.
