    Black people leading the march on that one. They want "black" put in front of everything.

    I know the token black response is "every channel is white entertainment".... but if there was a "white entertainment television" station, Jesse Jackson would be leading an army to the door step of that network.

    Black people are the most racist, i'd love to hear an argument to the contrary.

    Kind of a generalized statement don't you think?

    I'm not going to lie the last thing, as black male, we as a people need is the 'Black Shopping Network'.

    But just say Black People are the -most- racist, that's kind of a stretch.

    how can ANY comment you could possibly make about racism not be "generalized"............. No.... 100% of black people are not racist, but a higher % of black people are racist compared to any other group of people. It's not a generalization, it's math... being applied to a topic, to support an idea. I experience racism FROM black people on a daily basis and have most of my adult life, but for some reason..... black racism goes completely under the radar and is completely socially acceptable as if they get a free pass.

    Where's your supporting facts on that statement. Where's your math? Because you throw up a single number doesn't mean it's math and it doesn't mean it's a fact.

    You're assuming because of the small percentage of black people you've actually met and you're making a sweeping statement about the lot of them, which is ignorant on your part.

    You've experienced racism...congratulations, so have I.

    But it doesn't mean that a group of people are racist. If that's the case all white people are racist.

    See how stupid and rather close minded that sounds?

    So you can go ahead and thow up all the 'Black America' links and the photoshopped Jesse Jackson pictures you want to. You're not proving a point, you're just showing your knowledge of how to use Google Images.

    I'm more that happy to have a civilized and adult conversation with you about the topic, but to think that any comment about racism is going to generalized is just a double standard.

    Jim call Jack a nigger.

    Jim is white and Jack is black.

    All white people are racist.


    See how incredibly stupid that sounds? But according to you, that's okay and a logical thought process?

    Racism is about a group of people, because you've met only to or three of them. Racism is about how a individual treats another basic on the color of his skin.

    Now we can get into a discussion about BET and Black Scholarship Funds if you want, but that's a whole different topic all together.

    Yes, I own several.

    Yes, believe it or not, I do read the paper.

    What you see at work isn't a proper stance about suc a sensitive arguement and topic.
    And the whole internet question is just silly.

    There is no such thing as 'black' or 'white' racism. Racism is Racism is Racism.

    Point blank.

    If you base everything you see on TV or the Internet, I want to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge because you're more niave that I'm giving you credit for.

    So let's try this again because you've apparently missed my whole point.

    Racism isn't about a ENTIRE group of people...it's not about a MAJORITY of people, because let's face it...you haven't met the MAJORITY of people to make a valid generalization.

    If you've had some negative encounters with black people, sorry but that's life. Everyone isn't going to be nice to you, it's the way of world...but chances are it's not racism, maybe they just don't like you as a person.

    I'll give you the point that there are black people that just the 'race' card because they refuse to look at thier own shortcomings and for that, I can't help that. That's their own hang-up and the reason why they are thriving like everyone else.

    If i drive to work 20 days out of the month, on 20 of those days i'm approached by 20 black people, 5 say "hello sir, nice weather today aint it, good day" and 15 of them rob me and steal my car. If on the 21st day i see a black person approaching me at the gas station so i jump in my car and lock the doors.

    THATS NOT RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS PERCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION OF BLACK PEOPLE ARE BASED ON WHAT WE SEE. THOUGH IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SKIN COLOR, PEOPLE CANT IGNORE THE SIMPLE OBSERVATION.

    i get so tired of the "a few black people argument" ...... Nobody bases their opinion on "that one black guy they met that one time".... its an observation as a whole of all experiences with black people. I dont have to sit down and have dinner with every black person in the united states to have an opinion.

    I don't live in District Four.

    And your reality is distorted beyond belief, your reality isn't my reality.

    So you can actually step off.
