How black people have BET and we can't have WET?
How come black people can have the United College ***** Fund and we can't?
Shutup already, I'm white and you're even annoying me. Get over it, do something about it, or shut the hell up! I never thought I would say this,, but white people complain too much.

Yes people I am contradicting myself in a way by complaining, but I'm just expressing my opinion.

You are right. People do tend to complain when they think that someone is getting something that they are not. In reality, they really wouldn't want the struggles that blacks have to go through just to get basic rights that were due to everyone.
They wouldn't like it if they had to fight just to get an education because they were forbidden to go to college. They wouldn't like if 95 of 100 TV channels had nothing but black people on it.
Maybe they think they are missing out on something like having an all white college. Do they know that most of the historically black colleges not accredited, lack funding, pay their staff and faculty poorly, and can have unpredictable programs.
Maybe they don't know or just don't appreciate what they do have.

I agree with you, some white people do complain too much. People in general should just be grateful for what they already have. I don't really think we deserve to complain, we haven't been through any major struggles like slavery or the Civil Rights movement.

Unfortunately because of the slave trade, the blacks from Africa have no Idea which part of Africa they originated from. That is why there is just the generic BET. Whites are from many different places from around the globe. There are many "White" Clubs.
The Emerald Society is an Irish Club for example. http://www.emeraldsociety.net/
I pretty sure the Russians, Germans, English, Australians, New zealanders, etc. have many wonderful clubs in america.

I just do not understand the hypocracy in wanting "equality" but still beliving in things such as the United College ***** Fund when it is NOT equality it is preffered treatment. Obviously, I believe Affirmative Action is a prime example of hypocracy as well. If I may add an honest question of my own....why is there still the belief african americans are owed something because of slavery??? Personaly I look to Jewish and Japanese Americans who were treated very poorly in this country's history as well and they have "rose above"???

Well, I haven't heard a white person say that before though. But white people sometimes just wanna fit in. They have everything, but they hear all the other races complaing. On wanting more, so they think they could get more, but they alreaydy have enough. Black people deserve BET and the other things they have. They SUFFERED. So that's the least they could get. White people are just being stupid and whiney. Becaue they're white and think they can get anything they want.

All people, regardless of race, COMPLAINS! And probably feel bitter after that. That's a human tendency. We should actually focus on WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE, stop comparing/complaining and be happy with it.

A lot of people complain because they are weakminded, insecure and lack patience.
Gee, maybe that explains why you are complaining just now.

Whites have had exclusive "groups or clubs" for centuries that no one of any other colour was allowed in.
The only whites you hear complaining are rednecks, the same ones who burn crosses and wear funny white PJs.
And they really don't count, do they?

Isn't having to watch BET punishment enough?
