Jun 16, 2017 Long-running game show “Wheel of Fortune” is celebrating “Southern Charm Week” this week, but stirred up controversy by including an illustration of a plantation house with slaves in front.
06/16/2017 07:51 pm ET A “Wheel Of Fortune” backdrop for Vanna White and Pat Sajak promoting “Southern Charm Week” has some people calling out the letters WTF. The game-show icons promoted the week by standing in front of a picture of an antebellum mansion. If you look closely at the screenshot, below, you can see what appear to be two African American woman slaves in the background. The game show’s “Southern Charm Week” episodes first aired in March, according to the New York Daily News. It was when the episodes were rerun this week that heads started spinning. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/wheel-of-fortune-slave-photo_us_59446207e4b01eab7a2dd476?td9&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009&ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009 If it was going to happen on ANY game show, ya knew it was gonna be Wheel! |

5. But I thought Sajak's groove was that he was a bland, unthreatening, white-bread puke.

11. Right wingers seem to try to inject politics in their entertainment.
The best example I can think of is Tim Allen. He plays a right wing prick after watching several shows you realize Tim is a right wing prick. Now the show is cancelled he is blaming liberal Hollywood. The shame is I used to enjoy Tim Allen. If I wanted to watch Conservative fiction FOX News would be the ticket. |

6. FYI Sajak is well known as a Conservative
Both CBS and Fox News tried to put him in late night but it didn't work. Sajak is an External Director of conservative publishing house Eagle Publishing[8] and is on the Board of Trustees at Hillsdale College in southern Michigan, currently as vice chairman.[9] He has written for Human Events and served on the Board of Directors for the Claremont Institute. Sajak began writing for the National Review Online in 2010. In his first post he questioned whether public employees should be allowed to vote on issues that would benefit them directly.[11][12] He also has contributed to the center-right socio-political / social networking website, Ricochet.com.[13] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Sajak |

8. That time Sajak let Limbaugh guest host his CBS show and it ended with no audience
The video at the link is 10:45 but the very last few seconds show that there was no one left in the audience. Yes Rush said leading up to it that 'no one was evicted or throw out' http://www.mediaite.com/tv/while-hes-at-it-does-pat-sajak-want-to-apologize-for-rush-limbaugh-as-well/ |

13. Nope.
Moreover, they really don't care what the picture was intended to be used for, nor what the picture was of. They just care about what they see and what they say the One True Meaning of the picture is. Looking at it and being suspicious is one thing. It leads to questions. Looking at it and jumping to a conclusion? Sadly, when you jump to a conclusion you wind up too often stomping on the truth. Hush, hush, sweet Charlotte. Many would also object to the very idea of 'Southern Charm.' Or there being anything left of value in the South. Could be worse. A few posts complaining about the picture 'out there in the web' seemed to even suggest these were pictures of actual slaves. And perhaps the plastic flowers used in the decoration in the main house are authentically from the 1830s. |

14. Just guessing
But I would bet it's a photo of one of plantation homes that have been turned into hotels or bed and breakfasts, and the ladies are maids. I love old buildings my whole life and stayed at a few of these in the 1980s. 'Madewood' was one. I can't remember the others. Several had carefully preserved the slave quarters, which were equally interesting and served as an apt comparison of wealth vs. squalor. I think it is important to preserve the past to prevent it from being repeated. |
