Everyones racist in there own little way. Just dont like to admit it. But tell me why it is okay for blacks to say what ever they want about other races in Tv and movies and music. But if a white person does the NAACP trys to come down on them like the wrath of God....

Racism is a very backwards and confusing idea. Technically, racism is defined as separating one race. I personally think that this means things like Black Entertainment Television, Hispanic Television, and Affirmative Action are racist against people who are of a minority (In the United States). It would not be acceptable to have White Entertainment Television or a scholarship for only white students. Society has made the idea of racism completely backwards. All men are created equal, and equal means we should do away with things such as BET and hispanic television and affirmative action.

First of all, offering a bank account that caters for Muslims isn't racist, it's just a bank that wants to maximise its profits. Secondly the MOBOs and 1extra aren't exclusively for black people. For example the Sugababes have won MOBOs and they have a diverse racial makeup. In any case there are music stations for music of "white origin", like classic FM or any number of country music stations
Finally, there is nothing to stop anybody, black, white or any other colour listening to 1extra or taking out Muslim mortgages, so it doesn't segregate any races, it merely serves to bring them together by sharing culture. I hope you are now aware of how this isn't racist.

racism doesn't only exist in a one way system but i think some people get it hammered in their head ALL the time about black people getting discriminated that it's hard for white people to be able to say or even have an all white station and i think it depends on the content of what was going on and the intentions of the music station. BUT then again, you can't have an all "one race" station because music is influenced by EVERYBODY regardless of race. one influenced the other and vice versa.
but i think country music could count as an all white music station...most of it anyway...

Absolutely correct,racism in england is a one way system,if you are white and from english stock you are invereably a racist if you want to stick up for your country,if you are not white english it seems you can say and do whatever you want against the english majority and this is not considered racist.Its a one way street with english people all going the wrong way

well i guess most staions are for music of white origin with pop, rock, and the rest. and the mobo awards have white acts just as much as they have black acts.
i see what your saying though and i guess your right but these sations play hip hop and r & b by artist of all races these stations are not really dedicated to a race it's more to a genre of music.

"Everyones racist in there own little way. Just dont like to admit it."
This is utter bull. I am in no way shape or form racist. and I have read this time and time again...its 100% untrue.
But to answer your question, I do believe racism can go both ways - I have heard racists statements from people of all backgrounds and origins.... anyway...

Racism is one of the disease that man has to overcome until we realise that God created all and sundry. Believe it or not, we all have to reap what we sow. What makes one better or worse than the other is your account in the hereafter to the Creator. Is any particular race or colour trying to do what is God's right? Let them account for it. May they see how insignificant they have become now than to find out the painful truth in the hereafter.

in this country blacks were mistreated and weren't allowed many privileges that whites had....and because many doors were shut in the blacks faces they decided to make things for their own...and it still goes on today, there was a time when MTV..or certain radio shows wouldn't show black videos or songs..certain designers didn't want blacks wearing there clothes...so you make things happen for yourself instead of waiting on someone to do it for you...it's not that we are segregating anything...it's that we are giving each other opportunities that at times white people would not give us...
