I mean I have a sense of humor and most jokes are harmeless but if you say a joke about a white person it is just good humor, but make a joke about a african american, hindu, jew, arab, etc it is taboo. This goes for real world and hollywood.
Do you think they would ever make a movie like White Girls about African American women?
Just curious as to what you think.....
Wont even go into why there isnt a White entertainment telivision, a united white college fund etc.........
Your thoughts?

And dont lecture me on the fact that blacks were mistreated 400 years ago....... My family was in Ireland being abused by the British at that time........
Get over it..... abuse 400 years ago does not give you the right to abuse now........

I could not agree more. White people have become a sort of minority in this country - we have fewer rights and there are actually fewer of us than all the other races put together. Let's face it, there's no such thing as equality in this country and I don't think there ever will be. I say get rid of all special funds, extra resources, and deferential treatment and make EVERYTHING based on need or qualifications - and the measurements of those should be the same for all races and both genders. No more special treatment for anyone - make all who are able and capable get a job, get decent pay, and those who really need it, the help they need to live a decent life. Sorry, I got on my soapbox again - these issues just drive me crazy. It's not that I don't believe discrimination doesn't happen, I'm just tired of the white people being discriminated also and it being okay - it's not. Nor is it ok for men to be discriminated against - like all the men jokes - ok, I'll stop now....

Besides the ridiculous question, (because you sound like a cry baby) What about 400 years ago. Slavery ended 200 years ago. There is family wealth that old. Find out your facts first. k?

oh, im sorry i didnt' know white people felt mistreated. god, im so freaking tired of white people acting like victims! the movie white chicks depicted white girls as previledged but when you look at it basically it's the cream of the crop. (it's a ignorant stereotype, yes but harmless) had they made a movie about black girls it would have been shaniqua who doesnt know who her baby daddy is! ( so white chicks= money and indulgence v.s. black chicks = ignorance) ps why would white people need white television?!?! mainsteam media IS white television with the exception of a couple asian, black, and hispanic girls here or there. black people have B.E.T cause they want to see what going on in black culture cause lord knows unless we make a channel 4 ourselves we wont know.
