Why is it that African Americans can be involved with things such as BET(Black Entertainment Television), and Black History month and it's ok but if someone were to develop a white history month or white entertainment television it would be racist. I do believe very strongly that racism exists today. Oppression is a vile, horrible thing but by having soley Black events and businesses etc. aren't African American people promoting differences and segregation instead of trying to promote that people of any race are equal? Isn't that the idea of ending racism? I have a Black friend that I have had this discussion with and she says I'm over simplifing things, but does it really have to be so complicated? If African Americans (or any other race) wan't to end racism it just doesn't make sense to me that they would promote segregation by segregating themselves.
I do not intend to offend anyone with this question and I apologize if my language isn't politically correct
