This is an internet forum. It's normal for a diversity of opinions to be expressed.

Particulary in a PoC forum.

If you need an echo chamber, stick to democraticunderground.

They keep a tight lid on straying to far from from fold, opinionwise

Same with the NAACP. Why doesn't it show balance and have at least 50% whites?

You have me confused with someone else. All you are doing here is what many partisan hacks, from either side do, they see someone who appears to disagree with them on an issue, and instead of debating the issue with them, they get all "we-weed" about it. You can't just assume everyone who may disagree with you on an issue is some evil conspirator, or boogieman, or people will think you are a loon.

The channel honestly sucks, so I really don't think it was all that helpful. The NFL and NBA are two examples of sports where blacks dominate, but there are TONS of sports where whites dominate. If white and black people became better in sports where they did not dominate, that trend would completely change. The networks that own these shows select their hosts, and there are excellent journalists who are not white males. I really had not thought much of this, but looking at the list, it is kind of stunning. There could at least be one female.

And I'd love to see a female president too. We can both keep wishing because females will not vote for females and they will not watch females on news programs. I would love to see Laura Ingram get her own show. She fills in for O'Reiley and does a great job plus she's a lot easier on the eyes, so why not?

Would that make everything fair for you?

Blacks out in the cold playing hockey and skiing?

Mmm, not really seeing that happening.

I think you need to find a new hobby, preferably an outdoor one.

In heavy traffic.

EDIT TO ADD: I know it's only preseason, I didn't watch much this weekend myself.
