Okay, first off I am not racist at all. I am white but have an Indian g/f, cousin adopted from Africa and have friends of different race (from being in the Navy) First thing I can't stand anymore is BET, think how messed up it would be if before that or maybe even now if I created WET( white entertainment TV) Jesse Jackson would have been on my door ASAP. Also, why do some of them call themselfs African American????????? This kills me...I don't call myself Irish, European, German American (get my point) They are not from there. Even there Great, Great, Great, Great Grandparetns were not from there and I can say that is true because they have kids at a much younger age so the generations are not as spread out. They were not depressd from slavery anymore than my ancestors were from the King of Englad BEFORE them. Anyways, if the slaves were never brought here there would be a lot less "blacks" in the US today living in the "best life", "Whites" and themselves died to free them.

Sorry to say but your post reeks of racism, but if it makes you feel good to lie to yourself and say your not then more power to you..
but as I read this it made me think.. What is with some "white" people today?.. and I am white..
but you begrudge black people one channel out of 800 some odd channels that are geared more to white? COME ON
As for being called African American, so what.. If you wanna go call yourself Irish American so be it. I am 100% Italian, if you want to call me white, or Italian American, whatever.
I am not even going to touch on the whole whites died to free the slaves, because it was the whites that put them there in the first place so how you can really try to even morally say that?

Well as you SAY you're not racist i will try to help you understand. Why is there no WET as you call it; because you have to think about when BET was created there was not a lot of BLACK shows on tv for blacks to watch. White people are ALL OVER TV so why not let blacks be too...and why does it bother white people if we have BET??? Also we are called African-Americans for the fact that we weren't treated as Americans during slavery and civil rights time so it was a way to prove ourselves to the white people and also our culture is of Africa. And you say that you dont call yourself irish or german but being black has to do with honoring your culture so why does that bother you if someone calls themself that? AND THE SLAVERY ISSUE...well the fact is if you knew that probably less than thousands were oppressed from England and MILLIONS maybe Billions were from slavery. Just to think that someone in my family had to work and be beaten probably BY someone in yours and NOT GET PAID is enough to make any black person angry. And yeah if we weren't brought over here there would be less blacks AND ALSO THE ECONOMY wouldn't be a tenth of what it is now since whites couldn't and wouldn't farm and crop their own stuff. That was the POINT OF SLAVERY!!! and while there were whites who died to free blacks it was the whites who enslaved us and brought us over here. I just think if more whites would pick up a book about African-American history and just read it they wouldn't have all these questions...IM OUT!!

Good Grief you say you aint racist?!Who you kidding?You are
racist.We aren't "Black" or "Colored" and the reason they have Black Entertainment Television Is because When it started there
wasn't many shows for African Americans.We cal ourselves African American because we will always be African and we live
in America.

"Okay, first off I am not racist at all." and then felt the need to prove it by listing all the minorities u know...

Another RACIST who says he isn't a RACIST. Isn't that ironic?
You are clearly an ***. You're probably using your ''Indian g/f''
as a scapegoat for your racist views. Who gives a s*** if you have friends from all over the world??? That doesn't mean a damn thing! You're still a FIRST CLASS JACKASS!!

I THINK YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I DONT CALL MYSELF EUROPEAN AMERICAN, OR SCOTTISH AMERICAN. BLACKS SOLD OTHER BLACKS TO THE WHITES, SO ALL THE TALK ABOUT US BRINGING THEM OUT HERE AGAINST THEIR WILL IS BOLOGNA. SECOND IF YOU WOULD RATHER BE WALKING 3 MILES TO FRESH WATER IN 110 DEGREE HEAT INSTEAD OF SITTING AT YOUR COMPUTER IN YOUR AIR CONDITIONED HOUSE EATING CHICKEN AND WATERMELON, LET ME KNOW CAUSE I WOULD BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO SEND YALL A ONE WAY PLANE TICKET BACK TO AFRICA.
