I Wonder What Would Happen If........

[spence]

Black programming like BET and the Black Entertainment Awards were created because the mainstream programming wasn't providing content for an interested audience.

There are plenty of people on this board who were alive during segregation, it really wasn't that long ago. You can't just ignore history...

Can black people be racist...sure they can, but until we've gone a lot further to really weed out racisim overall, just accept that things arn't always going to be equal for either side.

Well in case my comments were deemed racist. I appoligize, certainly not my intention. I am far from a "racist" nor do I stereotype anyone, sex,race, sexual orientation. My best friend is gay, and I have brought the same subject up to him several times. My point is, by having programs and phone books and groups that strictly target and are exclusive to races or sexually orientated groups is racism. IMHO this only draws the line deeper in the sand. Personally, I try not to see the line and often cross it, despite popular opinion... "One love......." to all my brothers of another mother.....

Ever watch a Black comedian on TV or in person? I have NEVER seen one who does not incorperate his race into his act. Never? White comedians could never get away with that.

A person is a person. Black, white or whatever. That's the way it should be.

Then why call it "Black" why not call it alternative.

We don't call FOX or NBC the "White" Channel.
