    You are being very deceitful here.

    A Black channel is created only because Blacks are peculiarly underrepresented on "the other 297 channels" no doubt indeed. So therefore it's potentially racist, of you, to post unfavorably here about the micro/the physical make-up of a social imperative (Black tv network) which is created to combat the macro Inequality Blacks face on the other 297 channels.

    I apologize sir, but your nonsensical argument cannot thrive here.

    You do understand that showing something for 23hrs and 30mins per day, fulfills the legal requirement of showing that content?

    Do you also understand that showing something for 5-10 seconds per day, also fulfills the legal requirement of showing that content??

    I would bet you can see where I'm going here, with real life?

    I would imagine it would also require that all other content, promotions, advertising, etc., use people who follow the same singular ethnic membership?

    Yes there are no black people on "white channels".

    Name a "white channel" that doesn't represent blacks.

    I bet you count out 76 white people and demand 13 black people.

    Yes, you are correct.

    Plus did you also know that ...

    the KKK possesses bad info and vile propaganda which they put out re: Black people? Which means, the Blacks would be 100% wrong, if they go screaming "We need our own KKK!! Because the current KKK doesn't inform citizens about us!"

    What does this have to do with your argument, or the point I offered?

    I'm not aware there is any channel devoted to the beliefs of the KKK. Commercially, a potential audience of perhaps 10-15,000 people would make such a venture economically unviable.

    Black people are poorly-portrayed and underrepresented on 'the other 297 channels' which cater to White peoples' interests. Yes, therefore it is important and vital to have those 3 Black tv networks.

    It is very sad, that your mental capacity cannot grasp such equity.

    So does this mean you understand that there is black content in virtually every single channel available, contrary to you initial claim?

    Yes, it means I understand that Black people are poorly-portrayed and underrepresented on 'the other 297 channels' where the Black content caters to White peoples' interests. Yes, therefore it is important and vital to have those (3) Black tv networks.

    So I stick by my original, ironclad claim here.

    but none of this is true. why do you make things up and pretend it's a valid argument?

    The facts verify that it is true what I post. That's why those 3 tv networks are allowed to exist in individuality.

    Hmmm.. what is this "legacy" that you refer to? We see folks from all over the planet busting their humps to get here. The opportunity that they find here drives them to come. Is that the "legacy" that you're referring to here? If not, why? Or do you suppose that the "historic trauma" is the legacy. The "we can't ever overcome" theory?

    What perhaps might influence your choices is your willingness to actually make an effort. And for so many folks, internalizing the marketing that suggests that they don't need to make an effort because of what is "owed to you" overcomes that need. How's that working out for you?

    I spent a lot of time in Japan growing up, getting referred to as Gaijin. The only good thing about being "Gaijin" there was we were so much taller we could get on all of those "must be this tall to ride" rides well before any of the locals at our age could. And while many hide behind their hands giggling about being overtly racist there, it was, none the less, overt racism against us.

    They're very protective of their cultural norms which is big on conformity. I'm not sure I'd call that racism. The Japanese will go out of their way to help you no matter who you are. That too can be mistaken for kindness, when it's more of a duty of obligation for them.

    You can't really judge their culture using the criteria of ours.

    If you reeeeally need to be told about it, then...you might not enjoy my scholarship.

    Especially if you can't embellish that I am a White man, embracing White guilt, by properly renaming it as "White Privilege" so I can properly purge my demons.


    Yes, mainly Caucasoids. Caucasoids who understand the USA's eternal, White Privilege culture, so they thirst to come drink its purely-racism waters of Democracy.


    Indirectly, yes, that is the legacy. Because the legacy of slavery/Jim Crow laws subjugates Black citizens, in order to benefit non-Blacks yes including those you referred to who come here looking for 'USA opportunity' which drives them to come here.

    No. the historic trauma is never, history, since the "reality of Slavery's legacy" evolves continually.

    This nation constantly evolves new, futuristic ways to guarantee a 2nd-Class Citizenship for Black citizens ---then blame them for it!

    That, is slaverys' legacy.

    We have 10's of millions of scenarios over, decades, where Blacks out-effort/out-work every other human, but then get cheated out of their proper merit. Do you know that that is the exact reason why JFK crested Affirmative Action, in 1963? Yes, that is how long our nation has publicly recognized that we subjugate Black citizens.

    Neat. So, in your mind, effort isn't then necessary. Got it. No amount of action can ever overcome the legacy that you cling to. Also, got it. And just sayin, but most folks here aren't as assertively actively racist in their posts or language. So, when the nice folks from Africa come, they're in your mind, "caucasoids"... ? That seems unlikely. Latin American migrants? "Caucasoids"... this seems, well like a pattern here. It does actually amuse me that your grasp of US history is so.. well,, alien. I don't suppose it would do me any good to school you on the efforts of Nixon here, or the rhetoric of both Kennedy and Johnson... but .. never mind, you'd never accept that your little pet theory was entirely premised on the lies you willingly believe in. I would end by simply pointing out that the only reason for anyone in this country to consider themselves as "2nd class" is because they inflict that notion on themselves.

    Show where I said this.

    Especially since I chronicled Black people outworking all humans but then denied their proper credit, is why Affirmative Action was even drafted in 1963.


    Nixon was a sickening racist, and LBJ was nearly as sickening. LBJ only pushed the CRA'64 as a symbolic gesture for RFK who lobbied for his brothers' legacy. Starting in late-1962 yep JFK and RFK began consulting MLKSr, I repeat, MLKSr. on their draft for CRA'64.

    So yes, let's talk about them.

    Did they blame you for all the crime, and say you are morally deficient?

    I love it when fact slams into ignorance. Thanks. I know, the left will not, ever, value the contributions of Nixon and will, as you have, revile his legacy. That doesn't, however, change the historic fact of his efforts from his initial contribution that put civil rights legislation on the map under Eisenhower, or his enduring efforts to crate equality and implementation of desegregation of the schools, or his authorship of affirmative actions. But hey, you tried.. right?

    Are they different interests to black interests?

    We're still waiting to learn what these special tan-coded interests are.

    Yes, as it happens. At least, they regarded my kind as inferior and morally deficient. Because in their experience (you know .... reality), my kind were/are both.

    Yes, it's a fun game innit ... this 'caucasoid' nonsense. Apparently it's the combination of curly hair and dark brown skin which renders you incapable of progress. He/she has yet to address the rather glaring argument of the Nigerians (and other Sub-Saharan Africans) practising medicine, law, engineering etc in the US and other white nations. Or explain the success of very dark skinned Southern Indians. Or even just the still relatively exotic Chinese American.

    When determined, one can find a 'reason' for all of them. Whatever it takes to avoid addressing the cultural problems within one's pet community. After all, how can they remain pets if they stop being helpless?

    Yup. It's a reflex of the plantation mentality that our progressive folks retain. Like entitlement, they still believe they have a right to keep slaves...
