PTB: my question is why do you even associate with racist people?

I\'ll second that.  I don\'t envy any african-american (or anyone other than caucasian) walking down the streets of  Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana.

I don\'t envy anyone, I don\'t consider one race any different from any other, but I still stand with what I said, to me blacks seperate races more than whites do, and if you think other wise thats nice, I\'m just going off what I have seen

The reason why they have BET is so that African Americans have a channel that they could relate to. They don\'t need a WET because majority of the people on TV shows are white. For example TRL\'s countdown is mostly white artists versus 106 and Park [which is on BET] which is mostly black artists. It is not racist at all because it does not say "Only for black people" but it is targeted to them but anyone can watch it.

Yea don\'t think of it as racism, think of it as demographics.

They\'re trying to get ratings.  

Besides, it\'s not the first time it\'s happened, we already have the WB. ;]

How the two are related, I will never know. Please tell me how there is any correlation to the two.

:rolleyes: Very ignorant statement.

I don\'t understand how someone can say that the concept of BET is racist. It is not a Blacks-only channel. They don\'t say whites can not participate. As a matter of fact, BET is owned by white people. So explain the logic behind the whole argument.

I don\'t see any threads about St. Patricks day being racist, or Telemundo being racist, or Lifetime being sexist.

Enough of that stupid logic.

I honestly have no idea how to explain a lot of this and frankly I don\'t want to because I\'ll end up going off on a 5 page rant about it, lets just say I have a lot of built up opinions on the whole race issue

Basically he has no answer for you, that\'s what I deducted from his statement.

Because most blacks feel that they\'re special because of their skin, and that gives them many other rights, such as being racist to others and not themselves.  Some people can\'t face the truth.  Anyone who hates me for what I said can kiss my ass.

Do mods consider banning me now?

I don\'t really see why their should be a channel dedicated to just African Americans.  I mean all the other channels are with both colors.  There is no all white Channel so it is kinda stupid.  They get so many privilages any more and that sooo pisses me off.
