Why are there no white actors award, or white entertainment channels. What's the deal. Is it too racist to have such a thing? Why are there black awards, BET, Black history month. Is racism leaning towards white america. Is america becoming racist against the white man?

That "becoming" you mentioned is long past. AMerica has been racist towards white for a long time. Just look at the answers you will get. LIKE they'll say...It's not a real question. They need special stuff cause they're special, implied if not said...we are not. Crimes against us are justified, not really hate crimes, etc. but crimes against them (regardless of reason) are hate crimes. They will say anything to invalidate you and that often includes other white people. They will also ramble about how we enslaved them but will never credit us for freeing the slaves or civil rights laws that white people voted in while we were the majority...because all good deeds were done by them and we are all evil. And just talking about it makes us racist. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
No one should be racist and there should't be any excuses.
Sorry don't have time for more links.

Because there would be an uproar and whoever participated would be call a racist. I don't think there should be any awards shows that are just for one race or the other, it's ridiculous. A couple years ago the best actor and best actress both went to African-Americans so you cant say the Academy Awards isn't fair.

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans.
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me "Whiteboy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey,"
"Caveman" and that's OK.
But when I call you, N i g g e r, K i k e, T o w e l h e a d,
S a n d - n i g g e r, C a m e l J o c k e y, Beaner, G o o k, or
C h i n k you call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United ***** College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.
If we had WET(White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to
"advance" our lives, we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists. There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US, yet if there were "White Colleges" that would be a racist
college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange,
and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we
announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud. But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?

There are white awards, they are the awards shows you watch every year, and as far as black history month, I'm sorry but white history month is basically 11 months out of the year, so I'm not sure why you're complaining. I don't think you are posing a real question, but merely looking to stir up controversy, and gain attention....you know why these programs exist, black people have been historically ignored for their contributions to society as well from a talent aspect, here's your answer, next question please....

Hopefully! there has been racism toward africans for a very long time, BET was a revelation that let the black culture begin to identify itself and love itself, because so much hate has been put upon them. Naturally now is just time for payback..

It's very sad. We live in a very racist world where people even hate themselves for being Mexican or Black. I'm proud to be who I am. And it doesn't matter what color I am, I will always succeed. I'm a badass dude, and everyone knows it.
