You missed the point completely until the very end of your answer.
You said, "we already have WET, it's just not called that". First off, I want you to tell or show me ONE channel that doesn't include ALL races.
Second, If a channel were to come out and was called "WET", and ONLY honored white people's accomplishments, the NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the rest of the black goons that so called stand up for civil rights, when it is really civil bigotry, would be all over it suing everybody that had to do with it, and a few who didn't.
As long as it is called CMT or the fishing channel your okay with it. But if it were called WCMT or the White Fishing Channel, you'd blow a cork.

Basically we would be called racists and there would be a massive amount of outrage. Remember... whites are the ONLY people that can be racist. And don't give me this crap that all these award shows are for whites only. I see plenty of people of different color at these shows, who win.
Personally, I don't really care about these shows as all it is is an industry that pats itself on the back and telivises it to the world so all can see just how great they are. What a joke!
*edit* Joe... don't give me this crap the whites have always been in control and whites have always been against every other race. That is simply not true. Just as you don't want to be "lumped" into a stereotype, you shouldn't lump others in a stereotype.
The real question here isn't weather or not there can be a BET station or awards show... if the network wants to create that platform for a demand then so be it. No problem with it. Here is where the real question is... if the network created a WET network, specifically targeted to only white people and only had white shows and awarded only white people... yes, Jesse and Al would probably wet themselves at the opportunity for more air time. (and you know it)
Don't cry for equality when we are well beyond that point (affirmative action). Yes, there will always be racists bigots on BOTH sides... it's time to get over it and sieze the opportunities all of us have, enjoy and all to ofter take for granted.
*edit - second edition* Joe... you still don't get it because you can't see past your race card. I do not have a problem with BET or Telemundo. By the way... yes I can name 50 ethnic actors/actresses... not too hard to do now a days. Again, the point isn't if it is OK to have a "black" or other ethnic channel. The point is, if we changed say... ABC to The White Channel Network and blatenly gave it that name there are many people and organizations that would pitch a fit and scream racism left and right. Should I pitch a fit because there aren't enough white people or asain people in the NBA or NFL? or should it go by who has the talent to be there and by what people want to see? Plenty of people pay to see stars like Samuel J Jackson, Laurence Fishburne, Will Smith, Jada Pinket, Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Queen Latifa, Forrest Whitaker, Cuba Gooding Jr., Damon Waynes, Keenan Ivory Waynes, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Halle Berry, Morgan Freeman, Spike Lee, Salma Hayek, Louis Gossett Jr., Tia Carrera, Whoopie Goldberg, Ice T, Mr. T (I pitty da fool), Ving Rhames, Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, Blair Underwood, Danny Glover, Antonio Bandaras, Michael Duncan Clark, Vivica Fox, Robin GivensDonald Faison, James Earl Jones (voice of the badest villain on the planet... or out of the planet), Bill Cosby, Stacey Dash, Omar Epps, Eddie Murphy, David Allen Greir, Martin Lawrence, Richard Pryor, Oprah Winfrey, Vannessa Williams, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Coles, Chow Yun Fat, Lucy Liu, Sidney Poitier, Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro.... There is your fifty... A little long here but I didn't want to short you on your 50 or I am sure you would find that to comment about (not that this has anything to do with the question). Sorry Scott...
Now maybe Joe can really answer the question?
*3rd Edit* Sorry Scott... forgot to ask Joe what the "token" roles for blacks were in The Fresh Prince of Bell Air or Snaford and Sons or The Cosby Show or Different Strokes or The Bernie Mac Show or Miami Vice or CHips (Eric Estrada was the star) or the A-Team (everyone watched for Mr. T) and we could go on and on, but I've rambled too much.

I don't think any of you who answered understand or even look at history.
to you (white people) it might not be your fault, and you might have been sheltered from it.but to let you know white people have been discriminating on everything that has anything to do with any other race since the begining of time. (don't act like you don't know)
so that's why we have channels like BET and Telemundo and the Chinese channel and whatever other channels there are.
we have to make our own Sh*t!
you already have yours, look at you T.V. channels and see for yourself.
Now the good thing is that that is slowly changing and I hope racisim goes away completely, but I know that will never happen, because there is always so dumb a$$ who won't like someone because they don't look like them. it's the sad truth of the world.
So to answer your question you already have a WET award show it's just not called that.........
No no my friend....you missed the point! and I can name 50 channels. can you name 50 ethnic actors or actresses... not rapper or singer either....you can't and do you know why? I don't think you have any idea, I guess you think nobody else comes up with good idea. and who wants to sue, everyone want to be equal and most T.V. and Movies aren't.
and who said anybody was cool with CMT or Fishing channels... your WET has been in full effect since T.V was started. if you can't get in to White networks you have to do it yourself, and that's what BET and Telemundo is. if there was no BET or Telemundo. where would we watch us. if you haven't notice there isn't many ethnic people on other channels. if nothings on ABC you can just turn to CBS or NBC. sure there maybe some ethnic programs but they are token roles

Who seriously cares? BET and everything associated with it is a complete embarrassment and I don't understand why everyone cares that it exists. By the way, why isn't anyone complaining about all the Hispanic channels like Telemundo?

It would lame.
Remember, if you're old enough, those week-ends in the 70's, when Soul Train was running against Lawrence Welk and/or Hee-Haw? Which one were you watching?

We'd be racist. Anything that is for whites only would be considered racist, unjust and terrible. Maybe in a couple years when the whites are the minority it will be okay.
EDIT:: It's funny how people bring up other award shows or MTV...has anybody noticed that MTV is almost entirely black?
