How come blacks get a tv channel, BET, but if white people wanted one it would be rasist.?

I'm not white, but I know what you mean.  You will probably be called racist for asking this question.  Blacks don't realize that the way they act towards white people can be considered racist too.  Things will never change whites will always be "the bad guy trying to keep us down" and blacks will always be "the victim" no matter how equal they are, they still believe that they are victims.  Like I said things will never change.

I don't watch BET. Any time I see what is being shown on it, it makes me sick. I think that the network perpetuates negative images of blacks and women especially. The one decent program (forum) they show on Sunday morning was preempted so that they could talk about the awards show.

i would assume they have the same function as ANY newspaper... informing its readers about issues that are important to them.  in this case the majority of the readers are black.

Because historically colleges and businesses hired under qualified whites over blacks.\n\nPayback. Deal.

I watched a couple episodes. The black family were much better at being white than the white family at being black. The white family were an embarrassment (at least the father was, what a screaming dork!). As far as 'fun' being another race? It could be interesting to see how the same strangers reacted to you in similar situations as different ethnicities.

I disagree with the person that said move to Europe, I mean racism is everywhere no matter what country no matter what ethnicity. Yes us black folks get it thrown in our face everyday but F*** em' life goes on you know, "what they eat don't make us sh**. like jay z said, ain't no love in the heart of the city, ain't no love in the heart of town"  Did you know in the history of television, in europe 2 weeks ago, a news station hired a black broadcaster. Now how long has the tv been around. We may have a few more oppurtinities, but not much. Just do what we all do, keep ya head up and try to maintain, Like Donny Hathaway says " Take it from me someday we'll ALL be FREE!"

Not me. In fact, I'd love to see a show or movie by a black person that, for ONCE, is about something OTHER than being black. Actually, I'D like to make a cartoon called "The Projects" about a white family that moves into the hood, making "social commentary" about the locals' stereotypical love of crack, fried chicken, and shiny things, and the blatant anti-white prejudice espoused by said culture. I wonder then if as many black people would embrace my show as moronic white kids do "Boondocks."

T.v broadcasters get thier money by advertising so when they get alot of ratings the more people view thier adverts  so that is how they get thier money.

He does shows with whoever calls in.  So, I guess more blacks call in.  Why does Maury do anything he does, really?

They could if they wish. \n\nAlthough some whites want to be black to take away the little we have - most suspect how tough it really is.   \n\nYou have no idea what you're in for; you're seeing it from a distance - it's not easy.  You think you are the only racist we have to deal with.  We deal with more complex and damaging acts of racism EVERYDAY all day.  \n\nBut I wish you do try it, You may not be as bitter and jealous as you are now and I guarantee you will learn something.\n\nBy the way was your name discriminator or easytyme813?\n\nYou should learn to live with us because 'we aint going nowhere' without you.  If my race becomes extinct so will yours.  We are original man - you were spawned from us! And you will return to us - look around it's happening.

Because if there was a white one it'd be racist because the blacks said so.

No. They are little racist brats that have been brainwashed by their mother. As for African Americans having a movement and a TV network. How the hell is that racist. If you haven't noticed the image of AA has been degraded over the years and something positve like that serves to uplift AA's. Hellooo.. almost every channel is a white version of BET. BET is one tiny little network that isn't even black owned anymore and it also does not promote a positive image of AA's. With the so-called movement for the KKK its definately negative and racist. These little girls minds have been soiled w/ hatred.

If there is it's the ones that SOME black's  put up themselves. I don't think many white people really care about color anymore. It's all in their heads (black people).\nSome of them still want to feel like white people owe them something for what happend to their great great great great grand pappy. As if they were the only race that was drug into slavory.  I'm not black or white and I see that.

Could be true.  Mainly because blacks don't really have a choice most of the time since most politicians are white, while whites usually get to choose between white and white or the very occasional black and white.

blacks are beautiful people nice color, there are people that get tans and fuller lips to look simular to blks. but just like any other race some can act very stupid at times.

Not necessarily FROM Blacks, but from organizations seeking to give black people assistance.  Every third job ad I read is looking for someone who is "ethnically diverse."  And when I was looking for scholorships I hated the fact that if I was black I could get a full scholorship from the NAACP.  Black people used to need more assistance, but now poverty is more equal and the people who need help are the poor people of all races.
