Perceived? Lol The guy said the N word. Granted he was drunk ..but still this isn't a "perceived" situation. I agreesome tthings are over the top reaches. .but this isn't one if them. The guy is an idiot. I'm 50/50 if he is really is racist. Part of me wants to bbelieve the guy was drunk pissed off and wanted to say the worst thing possible he could to piss off the security guard. The other side of me thinks the word rolled pretty easy of his lips. ..like that wasn't the only time he used it....but who knows for real.

It's a way for idiots to attack black ccultural without being perceived as racist. You have to be a complete idiot to not understand why BET was created.

African Americans were sports heroes represented in various sports media. There were high profile magazines for African American audiences and African Americans were well represented on TV shows like The Jeffersons, Good Times and others. For the record. I have absolutely no issues with BET or the name. I think Mr. Johnson was brilliant for creating this network. Starz inBlack caters to African Americans as well. No issue. As for the notion of "White Entertainment Television", that falls under the category of the other 300+ channels not named BET. And finally, FWIW, BET is owned by Viacom, the whitest corporation, ever. |

[QUOTE=DaneMcCloud;9853626]That's not quite true.
African Americans were sports heroes represented in various sports media. There were high profile magazines for African American audiences and African Americans were well represented on TV shows like The Jeffersons, Good Times and others. For the record. I have absolutely no issues with BET or the name. I think Mr. Johnson was brilliant for creating this network. Starz inBlack caters to African Americans as well. No issue. As for the notion of "White Entertainment Television", that falls under the category of the other 300+ channels not named BET. And finally, FWIW, BET is owned by Viacom, the whitest corporation, I have no issue with other culturals celebrating their heritage either. The reason wh you can't have "white" tv is because of the history of what that means in our society. If something was for whites only it was usually if not always at the exclusion of others: Jim crow laws for example. BET wasn't created to exclude it was created to showcase a cultural that was being excluded from mainstream pop music and television. |
