    I wonder how this will go. Could it further the balkanization of society? I suppose their could be many media outlets for different ethnicities:

    Well, we already have a white news channel (in everything but name). Seems only fair to have a black news channel, too.

    So Black people need special entertainment and special news? Hmmmm. Thought they were about being equal? Can other news stations stop hiring black anchors because you can bet there won’t be anyone white on the air on a black station. Sounds sort of like a racist station.

    White people have been on BET, performed and won awards. There's nothing wrong with having stations that cater to certain demographics (they all do that) and features cultures. Why did I bother answering your question? I thought you'd just say, thanks for the answer.

    What does that mean? I'm serious, how do you target black viewers?

    I thought we were all Americans, inclusion was super important and diversity was at the top of liberals to-do list. So how do you target black viewers and not violate what liberals preach?

    Easy peasy. White people are EVIL, and especially White, Old, Rich White people . . . except for Dem Party candidates running for president.

    I expect that it will essentially turn out to be just like MSNBC with precisely the same ideology and politics. The only question up in the air is if it will turn out to be as utterly racist in nature as the ezine TheRoot turned out to be.

    Noooo . . . it is exactly a racist station . . . only it is racism endorsed by the political Left; and so that makes it perfectly okay.

    My sigh meant that you sound way off base but I'm not interested in informing you. But I will take a few seconds to explain. Black culture exists. Black people (and people of other races) are interested in partaking in this culture. (Why wouldn't they be?) It has nothing to do with equality and it's not racist.

    I believe what you're saying in a round-about way is blacks are going to segregate themselves on this channel and throw inclusion and diversity out the window. I also believe you have no idea how they're going to target blacks except by portraying them as oppressed victims on a daily basis.

    Hey, us white folks want to start a channel targeting white folks. White culture exists and white people are interested in partaking in this culture. it has not to do with equality and it's not racist. I'm sure you know there would be violent riots if anyone even dared to propose that.

    News these days is selective and partisan, so why not allow everyone to have there own news?

    I would pick the Al Bundy BIG ‘UNS News report over CNN & MSNBC.

    Before the left cheers on things they think favor this race, that race or the other race, I would ask them to do one thing: Substitute the descriptions of those races with the word white and let the riots begin.

    I believe you like to put your words into other people's mouths. I believe that you don't watch this type of programming but you believe that you know more than those who do. You don't even seem be be aware that J.C. Watts, the man who is starting the station, is a conservative Republican and a pastor (not a racist). US Conservative's response about featuring Diamond and Silk was more perceptive than your misguided diatribe.

    I believe that you sound ridiculous when you feign confusion about why there should be stations that feature black culture or Hispanic culture or Indian culture but in a country that's mostly white, there's not ONE particular station that attempts to attract white viewers. There are many.

    I believe that you don't know that Billy Ray Cyrus (a white country singer and Lil Nas a black rapper one of the multiracial collaborations over the years) recently wowed the BET Awards show. I believe that you don't know what you don't know but that doesn't prevent you from making declarations. Unfortunate... again sigh.

    But THAT'S racist! ;)

    Prepare yourself for the "lack of diversity" comments in all those areas or at least most of them. LOL

    This should be entertaining...

    Call me when the majority of the stations, magazines, award shows, Congressional caucuses, political meetings, dorms, etc. in the country aren't majority white.

    That almost seems to be racist talk. See how that works? After eight straight years of the political Left essentially accusing all White people Right of Center of being racists during the Obama administration there is nothing . . . NOTHING . . . that the political Left can do by way of using that term that we have not encountered and dealt with. N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

    You can put the popcorn away. It's not salaciously entertaining. It's capitalism at work.
