Blackpeoplemeet.com
I dunno if any of you guys have seen this commercial, but apparently its a dating site where "black people go to find love". I've been watching adultswim and it keeps showing up.
As a black person and one who dates a variety of womenz i'm totally offended. If it was whitepeoplemeet.com people would be shitting bricks and protesting. But somehow, this is ok. Get real... Discuss your thoughts on the matter. Or don't. I'm just ranting and i'm bored and i have the rest of the week off. |

LOL
If there is a hispanic/latino dating site, which there probably is, I know I wouldn't be offended. I don't see the big deal. Some people wish to stay within their own race. Nothing wrong with that. Just as there is nothing wrong with interracial dating.

I have no qualms with people dating who they want to date. The problem with websites like this however is that they further perpetuate a segregated mindset in an already racially fucked up country...
Blacks with blacks, whites with whites, etc.... Real love isn't about color. I'm really not THAT mad about it. I just think it's stupid that our country is STILL hung up on this shit. People miss out on so many meaningful relationships in their lives both romantic and platonic all because they stop at what ethnicity the person is rather than going further and getting to know them for who they actually are. Damn shame... |

How is this different from blackplanent.com?
I'm indifferent with stations such as BET and sites such as the ones mentioned in this thread. People have their own preferences. While they use the public domain to emphasize this, it shouldnt bother you unless it truly disturbs you way of life.

You should be allowed to love whoever you want. I married a white girl, doesn't mean I don't surf the odd Asian porn site.
also, how about you stop being offended by other peoples choices? there is an idea; stop being selfish.

It is fucked up Imo. But I don't think our country is racist. Hell every white girl in my town is with nothing but black guys like seriously I go to walmart and maybe see one white couple. While everyother couple is a black male and white female. And never the other way around I don't see how black chicks aren't pissed. It's like racism all over again just backwards like I'm white so I cant get laid. People are dumb there only doing it because it's the cool thing to do not because they actually like the guy.

If they made White Entertainment Television I'm sure it would be mistaken for a porn network
But in reality it's not a big deal to me, some people prefer who they prefer whether race, religion, color , creed. Hell there's even a cougar dating website lol |

You mean MTV, VH1, CW, CMT, GAC, Disney, Nick, all the news networks, etc, etc. . .
How many shows can you name that are targeted at people that speak English that aren't white or black?

1. I fucking hate BET.
2. I'm really not mad about this whole situation. Does it disturb my way of life? Of course not. BUT this is the loud noises section where we get to bitch about stuff that we find annoying or whatever and this annoys me. Whatever. |

What makes you say that if it were for white people they'd be protesting? It's a dating site, who cares. I'm sure there's a website you can join to find any kind of life partner you may be seeking. I fail to see why it's offensive.

The OP has a point, It's why at this point some people have called affirmative action into question.
The theory is this, since the country has tried to and become more open to other races and minorities why then give anyone minority or race a leg up on others. Its not the first time i have heard black people rip on BET because they feel its blighting the cause. To often people get hung up on defending their particular cause ( hell I have done it myself, LOL) . It quite often polarizes people rather than making them more accepting and understanding. I have seen this happen in real life. A particular minority pushes their agenda so hard it gets in peoples faces making them uncomfortable. Instead of making them open to the cause it turns them off and makes them react. I am not saying that at certain times it has been important but their is a very thin line between getting people to accept causes in this way and pushing them away from it. In the end some one is bound to get offended by something. We live in the largest social experiment ever conducted by man. Never before in the history of man has a country existed with the amount of social,racial, cultural diversity in one place under one Government with the amount of freedom of expression we have. So ya I can see both sides of this. Its like ok there is black people for black people dating site. At the same time I can see the point the OP is making and go, you are right its promoting segregation of your culture.

As far as say a blackpeoplemeet, whitepeoplemeet, No problem imo.. Other dating sites don't give you an ethnicity option, so if they prefer that ethnic than there shouldn't be much of a problem. I can imagine more common interests being much stronger with same ethnic.
