I mean, imagine the shock and awe over a White Entertainment Television. Be it black or white owned.
oh the bet argument card lmao, bet was created as a counter to MTV because our music wasn't being played on the air

it really wouldnt matter if BET changed the name because it still be a station that caters to an american-black(african american ) crowd period just like you got all the spanish channels still wondering why BET bothers people is beyond me when they have mainstream networks that show their faces all day long however BET doesnt' represent me its just a channel.

Just exactly would white entertainment consist of?

Only furthers the divide with his argument with one small sentence!

I'm sure one of these days, probably prior to the 2012 election, the old nude pics and facts of infidelity of Sarah Palin will come out, just like they did for Dr. Laura. Birds of a feather...

I swear, some people are more in love with Al & Jesse than they could ever claim a black person was. When will some of you all get (and READ) the memo that "they don't represent/speak for the entire black race"!

How does that further the divide? I see it as an explanation.

You don't understand and will never understand.

Telling someone to "get over it" doesn't make things right or equal and further pushes the racial divide.

Nah, see I went round and round yesterday about this and only got told to get over it a million times, yet when I reciprocated with get over it, I was told to get off the train...

If they cannot see the blatant racism they promote by excusing it, they never will. and I'm done bantering about it...
