"FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS are four examples of channels that are primarily catered to a white audience and lest we forget those guys also have subsidery channel. There is ONE channel for shows primarily catered to black audiences (BET), as their are to other demographics like the aforementioned. All of these channels and of all the niche channels on television BET is the one that roughens people goat so much as to complain about it? Really, guys? And if you have an issue with the naming of BET, please take that up to the owners of Viacom, who also MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, CMT and CBS.

I challenge you to find the word "White" in any of those networks you mentioned. I guarentee you wont. It is the glorification of one particular race over another that is the despicable part.
As opposed to the other channel you mentioned "BET" which the only reason they exist is to push the agenda of black people. My problem is with that agenda alone. I can't and will not be able to list one single network that pushes the agenda of white people. You may say that we are different, and want to be associated with other people of our race. Well, that attitude is the real reason race relations are in as bad a shape as they are today.
Name one single white person in American today that uses the word from his / her heritage to identify his existance. I dare say you can't. What we have to realize, and come to the conclusion is that if we are ever to bridge the gap between races, we have to identify ourselves as "Americans" not African, not Anglo, not Chinese, ......simply "American"
By merely labeling yourself black, or white, or whatever, you are the seperatist, you are the one who wants to be set apart from others, you are the one who "PREFERS" to be associated with people of your own race, not me. It is also that same attitude that keeps races apart in this country and always will.
Now, let me discuss another issue of the double standard, and I'll be breif. The moment, second, or instance you have an organization that promotes the advancement of "White" people alone, then you are immediately labled a racist. Just look at this logic here. REALLY think about this. Don't use some false logic to justify it, just think a second. Take this game above for example, what would go through your mind if the label was "White College Football"?
I really dont have to tell you what you would be thinking if you were the average black person, but look at what you are implying "THat it is ok for me and my race to promote ME and MY race, and noone elses."
Keep in mind, I would never ever call myself anything other than "American." that is what i am, and will always be. I don't refer to my black or white friends with their race in front of their name, I merely refer to them as my friends. I remain impartial, however it sure would be nice if we could have a society where a person's race didnt matter. Oh well. Have a good day.
