So you do agree

I think it's more about catering to what a large demographic wants. Especially on your network channels. For example, Eddie Huang (Creator of "Fresh off the boat") mentioned that when he originally pitched the series to executives. They liked some of his ideas. But needed to tailor it to mainstream America. Needless to say, he doesn't hate the series. But it's not what he originally intended on.
Of course. I know these people are risk averse and want to make the most money possible. I don't see that ever changing with our free market system but claiming it is a form of racism is ridiculous.

Black people are racist more often than white people

So the fact that Spike even exists is very sexist?
They are catering to a certain audience. They want to see shows they can relate more easily to.
If you lived in a foreign country, would you support a channel that targeted the American audience in that country?

So now there's a bunch of Jew-hating going on. Well, lots of progress here. Congrats to everyone.

Was that 1992 or so?
1993 or 1994 I think. But look how good Dash and Paul Rudd have aged. Rudd looks the exact same.
I jerked off to Alicia Silverstone vigorously. Sometimes violently. Right into my pillow. Which was gross, looking back.

Im white as paper. I dont give a shite about BET or a potential WET. I just find it so small and petty for white people to dislike BET for the reason of "no fair no fair. If we did it we would be called racist meanies." You are being just as butthurt as the fake racist cries from the other side

And for the record, I think it should be totally segregated. White awards, black awards. If those that are upset about want it segregated, let's segregate it.
Will we have a white and black CFB Playoff? Because that would be interesting

OK, great. So I'll put you down as a supporter of White People Television Network.

Nobody said they disliked BET. That has nothing to do with what's being discussed. You seem to struggle with reading comprehension.

Non black people get awards from black groups all the time, including BET awards.
I mean, the vast majority of the recipients are black.
This is similar to a white man saying "I mean, I'm not racist; I have like 5 black friends!"
eta not to mention the Oscars aren't "whites only". But you sure wouldn't think that with recent pub and outcry. Numerous non-whites have won Oscars in recent past. I think you're completely missing the point.

That is very small, petty, and fake outrage. Also known on the skreets as:

Why don't we just get rid of all of the awards.

Her point was that their shouldn't be award shows that require you to be black to receive an award. Her example of BET awards doesn't fit there.

Ok. So what?
