It's fine to study African history, the history of slavery etc. I love history, but I think it gets carried away when your focusing on someone just because of the color of their skin, like black actors and black businessmen. I know the history of slavery is behind the black people in America, but there gets a point where it starts coming across like blond history month....

It will go as far as the AA community wants to take it, because no matter how fucked up it is, it would just appear as though everyone else is racist and keeping the AA's 'down'.

B.E.T - black entertainment television, 'nuff said....

for the record, I don't give a shit what color someones skin is, but I do have a bone to pick with this type of shit, complete double standard fuckery.

well, when you grow up in a culture that basically had only white people on TV and in movies for most of the 20th century, them having a TV channel (that no one watches) sure is a double standard that is worth bitching about.

February is also black posting month on S2!

 

[Mediocre Man]

She's an idiot, but the fact there is a dedicated month to a certain race is stupid

 

[RR7]

February is also black posting month on S2!

All the other months are black posting months. February should be red.

What have white people ever accomplished better than black people?

Oh yeah, I forgot, killing and conquering.

Well, white feats are already celebrated, in Veterans Day, Flag Day, Memorial Day, Presidents Day, Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving.

6 days compared to a whole month. We deserve more.

We need to schedule a straight white man month. The world is obviously unfair to straight white guys and we deserve a month dammit!

What decade did you grow up in? Even before BET you had The Jefferson's, Stanford and Son, Give me a Break, Webster, Different Strokes, The Cosby Show, Tootie from Facts of Life.....

The Cosby Show? My parents would never let me watch something like that when I was a kid.

And even before that we've always had black people playing pimps, drug dealers and criminals in TV shows. It's not like they were never on TV.

I gotta agree, she should not be allowed to multiply.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Fuck

You must be younger than I thought. From the 50s I only remember seeing the Nat King Cole show a couple of times. And Rochester, Jack Benny's butler.

So...either we have a stereotypical black man (George Jefferson, Sanford<No T> wasn't a really positive role model, Give me a break was a black woman who had to clean up after a white guy, Webster had to be adopted by white people, same with Diff'ren Strokes (cept he had a rich snobby white daughter too), and the one token black kid in a school/home?

Of those you listed, only the Cosby show showed blacks in a non comical setting (in the sense they weren't caricatures).

Is it really that big of a deal that a network is called "black entertainment network"? I mean, us whites only had ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, PBS, TBS, Disney, Nickelodeon, MTV (in it's earliest incarnation), VH1, TNN, USA, and so on and so on and so on....

Don't forget about Huggy Bear! Or Spear Chucker! Or the black guy on Cheers! Or the black guy on Friends! Or the black guy on Seinfeld! Or the black guy on Will and Grace! Or the black guy on Alf! or the black guy on M*A*S*H (once they chucked spear chucker)! or the black guy who starred on Chips! Or Dukes of Hazzard! Or....

(Nichelle Nichols was one of the earliest black important characters on TV, that wasn't a stereotypical "place" for a black person)

Wait just a dang minute there young fella!

Cain't call Presidents Day a white holleeday no more.

 

[PapaG]

I am entirely re-watching The Wire again this February, as I do every February, to catch up on Black History.

 

[PapaG]

Dumb examples, and nobody except the government celebrats Columbus Day anymore.

 

[MARIS61]

Never missed an episode.
