I mean what difference does make what the name of the channel is called? For all intents and purposes it's still a Black channel. What so Blacks have to watch White shows or else they're racist? Just because White shows embrace the token minority character doesn't mean that they're not White shows and it's not like everyone on BET is even Black. I don't watch the channel but WNs bring it up everyday. There is nothing wrong with a television station that plays all programming oriented towards Black Americans. In fact, I think it's a great idea. Blacks should have their very own TV station/s, as well as very own exclusively Black neighborhoods and schools, and so should White people;) The problem is, if we tried to start a TV station that played only programming oriented towards White America we wouldn't have a chance. The same Blacks who love their BET would probably be the first to protest, that's racist! :rolleyes:    Also, here's a better question. Why is it BET promotes the thug life? BET promotes and encourages degenerate, criminal behaviour and reinforces the negative stereotype of the Black community. They play degenerate, misogynistic, materialistic, trashy gangsta rap music videos all day long. They have a series on there(forget what it's called) that glorifies Black criminals and elevates them to folk hero status, each episode profiles a different notorious Black criminal, usually a dope dealer. They're always playing gangsta/crime movies non stop. I think about the only thing I've ever seen them play on that station that isn't just reinforcing negative stereotypes of Blacks and promoting the thug life is the Jeffersons and Good Times. Y'all need to throw sam Fat Albert up on there or something Hey, hey, hey! :rofl    It's called Black Entertainment Television and 98% of the stuff they run is reinforcing negative stereotypes of Blacks, and glorifying criminals, so what does that tell us about the Black community??? If I was Black I would hate BET even more than I do as a White man. If they would actually run some positive programs and we could have our own White TV channel I think it would be..uh..how you say, all good homie.:cool:    PS- They don't make any White TV shows anymore. They haven't for quite sometime. Where are these White shows you speak of? Seinfeld??:rofl:rolleyes: I hate television nowadays. The only things I watch are the local news, movies(especially the classics on TCM and AMC), and old classic tv series and cartoons from time to time.:)
