Black Shopping Network??

[Brett]

Okay so I was scrolling through the channels last night, and I cant believe there is really a BLACK SHOPPING NETWORK.... REALLY?? What is the reason and need for this?? Races all claim racism, etc but all races try to separate from all other races, I just dont get it.

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.

this is the man who married President Obama to the first lady.

[Sinfix_15]

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother?s race."

"There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela."

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Quotes from our President.

For one, being a black person, you wouldnt understand the reason why they are going this route w/ labeling everything black. Two, the OVERFLOW of black this, black that is retarded. Alot of people know my thoughts on hwo this entire racism thing goes. Before just going off on a rampage, understand what they/we/whoever is doing what is trying to accomplish before being so quick to cast a quick judgement as being 'the most racist race'...yea...i get bent out of shape when i hear talks of white people do this and white people do that....alot of things that white people do, every other race does, period. everyone is a crab in a bucket. but to sit there and act like everyone IS afforded the same opportunity, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, etc, is ignorant. that's all i'm saying on it.

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.

So when Martin Luther King stood in public and said " I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. "

what he ment to say was that we should segregate white college only to replace them with black colleges? Do you want equality or do you want a role reversal??????????????????

do you own a TV set???????????????????????????????? read a paper??? have access to the internet????? Black racism is everywhere..... im not making a comment based on some guy i work with, i basing it on everything i see in my everyday life, at work, tv, news, internet, music... EVERYWHERE................

[Firefightin_tC]

That's not completely true. You're taking that out of context to fit your own arguement.

HBC's are colleges that were established because, back then, those students would've gotten an education because colleges were segergated and would admit black students. Today these schools are such a staple in the college communities that they still thrive and prosper to this day. No one is seperating white and black schools, whatever a 'white' and 'black' school is.

There a number of white students that go to HBC's and vice-versa.

What's next on the dossier?

i just fuckin told you that DISTRICT 4............... the district you live in............................... A-T-L Georgia................................... ATLANTA........................................... .................................................. ............

This is reality, i suggest you step into it.

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.

argument is based around the perception of it. It's OK to be loud and proud about being a "black college" even if the name isnt literal, but a school like Yale who doesnt label themselves as a "white college", gets branded as racist because they have mostly white students without any mentions of the degree of difficulty to get into Yale vs say............................................... .....

Show me your facts on this....because chances are, you don't have any but then again Google is an amazing place.

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.

Then that's call 'stereotyping'.

There's a major difference.

And I'm telling you that your perception of black people are completely screwed. But then again, that's you and who am I to tell you what to think.

You're absolutely right, you have a right to have a opinion and in return I have the right to tell you that your opinion isn't worth a velvet painting of a whale and a dolphin getting it on.

So calm it down, Scooter.

You have a shitty opinion/perception about black people, in the end the only person that hurts is you because you're missing out on opporunity to meet some people who can actually enrich your life.

But then again, who am I?

Just some black guy, right?

I've got a ton of black friends... most of the people i spend my day with are black. Still doesnt change the racism i see. The same person i laugh and talk with on a daily basis comes out of the office the other day after being asked to stop talking on their phone during work.... ( they literally talk on their phone 4 hours out of an 8 hour day ) comes out and says to me " i wouldnt be getting in trouble if i was white "

This is the norm for myself and most people i know, we shrug off black racism on a daily basis.... however........................... if i was to say "nigga" at the local basketball court.... id probably have to fight my way back to the car.

[Sinfix_15]

No, I'm not missing the point.

Are you fucking retarded??????? i point out an extreme case of black racism in our backyard......... North east Georgia and you're attempting to discredit that simply because the district i used missed Atlanta by about 2 miles?????

seriously..... are you fucking retarded?

Actually I'm quite educated and during this entire conversation I haven't cursed at you, but apparently you're slippery grip on the English language seems to boggle your mind.

So no, I'm not retarded.

And now you didn't point out any in -my- backyard. Because the District you pointed out has nothing to do with me.

So, yes...you are wrong.

Incorrect.

Not Right.

Misinformed.

Any way you slice it.

And yes, if you say the word 'nigger', 'nigga', 'nukkah'...you deserve to get your ass whooped because you should, hopefully, know better.

By the way, just because you have black friends doesn't equal up to shit. You're perception of black people only shows how little you know, how little you want to know, and how open you are actually see things outside of your little box.

Do the World a favor, pull your head out of your ass and realize that everyone isn't out to get you.

So I pose the same question to you, how fucking retarded are you?

Just to clarify, I just dont understand why there is a new for a BSC, thats all. I am not saying any race is more racist than another, to me EVERY RACE is full of racist, Sad to say we will never see it go away, I just asked the question to understand the need for this channel, and why it has to be a channel singled out for just one race. Ya know?

[Sinfix_15]

Why cant black people apply the same argument they do to white racist, to black racist?

I've had black people look me in the face and say " black racist dont exist, black people have a right to hate white people"

[Firefightin_tC]

If it's not in my District or County...where I can't vote.

No, because I can't do anything about where I DO NOT live.

And no I don't have a problems with 'Racists' period, black or white, because I'm above that type of thinking.

And once again, you're taking what I said out of context to fit your own flawed logic and arguement.

So, let's read and sound out the words you can understand.

If you want to use the word 'Nigger' in any type. And you get your eye dotted...don't cry racism, you knew what you said when it came out of your mouth.

Black Racists and a White Racist. What's the difference?

None. They are both racists. Why is that so hard to understand?
