      .... Oh.. yeah I must have said that when I was talking about the penguins that live in rainbows and crap marshmallows.

          No, but seriously: I was making the point that people with exactly the same phenotype as African Americans are capable of brilliance, so that I don't think that the decline in the African American community has anything to do with race, but culture.

    I agree 100%... .sadly... lots of people around here think that this detrimental culture is all black peoples fault.... and rap....

    Lots of people dont understand that it goes beyond that.

    Im not trying to sound like a dick or anything but because its not fair, i mean seriously like many people have said many times before how come theres no WET channel no exclusively white magazines and such? because we'd get sued for discrimination, and dont deny it.  Also want to link us to some of the research your reading because i cant find anything that justifies this.  In this country the minorities are everything and the majority is just here to make sure the minority suceeds in life.

    Compare the amount of shows with mostly white people in them and the ones with mostly black then look at how integrated the black and white population are then you  may have a clue as to why.

     

     

    Like what ... 80+ % of TV shows are  WET  just like the society leans towars  whites, you are the majority in numbers and power, when the white race get ass rape and there numbers deplete you will more than  likely will get similar treatment as other minorities.

    See thats the problem, society leans toward blacks since they are the minority and we must protect the minority so everything is done to make you feel better at our expense.  And 80% being WET ... are you kidding, not even i would say 60% and then the shows that we have we have to have ATLEAST 2 black people in so we dont get sued for discrimination but if a  "black"  tv show had not even one white person in it no one would care.

     

     

    And the WET channel ... i know thats why i couldnt resist putting it in my post

    EDIT: after reading my post i may have exadurated on one or two things just a bit

    Hey everybody, let's all argue in hyperbole!!

     

    Methane, are you saying that white people shouldn't be on TV at all because of the way some of them oppressed black people more than a century ago?

     

    By the way, I take absolutely no responsibility for American slavery as a white person...my ansestors are all fairly recent immigrants and the only slaves that they would have owned were white 

     

    Oh wait I forgot...no white person was ever enslaved.

     

    On second thought, of course they were...so hey all you white people, let's start hating eachother and holding life long grudges!!  Let's all demand reparations from our evil white governments!

    No, that's dumb...how about we instead look at the sex slave trade over seas...seeing as how they are...well...slaves right now, instead of slaves from over 100 years ago.

     

    In case you didn't get the message:  quit your bitching about slavery and all that reparation BS and start caring about something that is actually going on TODAY.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

     That is complete bullshit. African Americans have just as much opportunity as anybody else in the form of: Pell Grants

    http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html

    Minority Scholarships and Regular Scholarships..

    Not to mention student loans and fellowships within the universities themselves.

    How is it that people with less opportunities (i.e. Cubans and Asians) are entering the country and making a far better living for themselves?

    Companies nowadays even have quotas for the racial distributions of their employees.

    I've lived in other countries and there are poor people of other cultures that do not act the same way.

    uhuh... now ask yourself where in my post did I say that there are too many people on tv.



    I didn't complain about anything... In fact it was Grim who was complaining that White people HAVE to put the 1-2 black people in every show... and I simply corrected him saying that there are plenty shows without black people in them...

    Now.. you feel hurt cuz i touched a nerve and you want to twist some imaginary conversation together and make it seem that I said that I dont want white people on tv?

    Come on Dre... is that really how you win an arguement?

    I merely corrected your racially ignorant statement.  This is and has never been a "cultural" issue, it is and will always be a socioeconomic one.  As for living in other countries, thats pretty much all I do, so start coughing up some examples, add to that an elaboration on "do not act the same way" and we will continue to discuss.

    Only the first part of what I said was even directed at you, that being the hyperbole statement...you used an obvious and devisive hyperbole in that "are you saying that there are too many black people on TV?"  when that wasn't even CLOSE to what the person said.  YOu didn't simply correct anything, you put your own negative spin on it and tried to change what he said.

    Methane, I believe that you are a racist, and I'm not exagerating.  Every time this topic comes up, you start up with comments that lead me to believe that you want black people to have opportunities that white people do not, as is evident by your stance on racial quotas in colleges.  YOu didn't touch a nerve, you just annoyed me...and how dare you try to pull that bullshit with me "make it seem that I don't want white people on TV?"  THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID TO THE OTHER GUY YOU HYPOCRITE!!!

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    NO, there is nothing that really truely dominations in Black America. There is no WET or whatever becuase there is no need for one. The majority of entertainment is white. CMT, MTV (majority of it is) and many more. When you use your head, you will understand why. WATCH BET for a good week and tell me if you see the news or infomation there anywhere else. Nobody has nothing like that becuase a lot of things on TV is white dominated. Same why the spanish have their own channel, becuase the majority of entertainment on TV don't relate to what they like and such.

    Knock it off, you're not fixing anything, you're just changing it to something that YOU prefer...make your own damn post if that's what you're going to do.  It's not a matter of what I think is worthy of empathy, but rather what is current and relevent in today's society.  So get off of your high horse and drop the high and mighty "fixed" garbage.

     

    Oh...am I going to have people tell me to calm down now?  Don't even post if that's what you're going to try and say to me, I'm not interested in your false concern with what my temper is like today.   I get pissed off at the sheer amount of stupidity and ignorance that I see on these boards sometimes, couple that with the idiotic high and mighty attitude that some people have and you have a recipe for one pissed off person.  So spare me the "take a chill pill" and "what's up with you?  You're not usually like this"  crap, I don't need your false concern, because I happen to realize that when you do that, all you are doing is trying to play the "look at how much I care, and now this is my argument" card in order to garner support for your views on a particular issue.

    Oh, and yeah...I'm angry, and this is me expressing that anger...is anger a sin?  Nope...looks like I'm okay.

    No it  dosen't man. It has more commercials with white kids (no offense, but that's what they are) with problems in frikken Orange County than rappers. That's bull and you know that man. MTV is not much about the music as it used to be.

    I don't know when the last time you watched it was, but last time I watched it was less than a week ago, and there were about 10 commercials featuring loud, annoying rappers, to every rock band commercial that I saw...but this is a retarded argument to have anyway, so let's just drop whether or not MTV likes whites or blacks more, because it's largely irrelevent.
