That's just it! It's just a name. No matter what nomenclature you use, colored people or black, it's just a name. The double standard comes into play when white people would be condemned for creating a NAAWP.
I think it is a problem. These days, we're all about being politically correct. If I was a black guy, I think I would rather have a name that recognizes the advances made by changing to a more appropriate name. Honestly, I think they should change the name to National Association for the Equality of Black People because that's all I see it as. How can you say National Association for the Advancement of Colored People when you don't even recognize the advancement in the name? I don't know how else to explain it to you. I'm not really good and taking my thoughts and turning them into typed sentences, so I apologize for that lol. Let me ask you a question. Why do you think there is racial hatred and racial discrimination towards black people today? |

Alright. What's wrong with BET? First of all it is absolute garbage and trash. Mindless uneducated stereotypical black people furthering the denegration of the hard work that countless of other african americans struggled for. Ever watch the Boondocks episode where MLK comes back? Yeah well that episode is truth. If he was alive he would shake his head all the stupid retarded shit that black people do. There's no arguing about that. Chains?? Willing wearing chains and bracelets as a sign of opulence? Quite the contrary to what they were originally intended for. Early hip hop/rap artists used chains (i.e bike chains think chuck D Public enemy) wore them to remind them of their roots (no pun intended). CMT is a freaking COUNTRY MUSIC CHANNEL no COMPARISON. BET's mission statement was to be the voice of black America and educate it's "people" CMT, spike nor any other channel made such a mission statement. So your point is moot. Furthermore...creating a race based television channel creates a double standard. If one should be able to have their own channel why not others? Didn't african american leaders struggle for equality? And P.S- I am black. More specifically nigerian. And if you wanna talk about racism, talk about Blacks vs. Africans. |

The reason there is resentment is because no matter how you much you give "them" something they want more they are felt they are "owed" it. And I'm not trying to make "them" out to be bad or anything, but I grew up in the suburbs my whole life EXCEPT for my early years when I lived in Baltimore, MD around John Hopkins (ever heard of the show the wire? that's damn near how my neighborhood was). I've watched my parents come from another country, and used their minds to make it. You wanna talk about rags to riches, try a village in Nigeria to a $800k home off of the Mainline in Pa. And you want to tell me the system is working against you? Maybe if you valued a book more than a rap cd. Maybe if you valued your history more than your music, maybe if you saw yourself as a human being and not "black" you would understand. So pull your damn pants up, shut the fuck up and ask more of yourself instead of the man! Sorry for the rant, but this shit gets on my nerves. BET is the worst channel ever. Quote:
The problem is if you ban it more people will listen and what fuels the rap industry isn't even urban consumerism, it's SUBURBAN consumerism. Music is a reflection of societal ideologies. If society believes it, it will support it therefore media will take it and make money with it. You want crime to go down put more money into education. Stop paying entertainers millions. They don't do that much for society. I don't see why the guy in the lab who is working on a cure for cancer should be less celebrated than Lady Gaga or 50 cent for putting out the best album of the year. So what? You had your voice digitized and created a hypnotic tune....congrat u fucking lations you made another Karaoke track. Rap is trash i will admit. I say support hip hop, it's educated and has a message. The more you support it the more rap will lose steam. Hell a war has been raised against rap by hip hop artist. |

The ban the rap thing was kinda of a joke, I mean, I wouldn't mind, but I know that it wouldn't solve anything. But I agree, all the entertainers out there make a lot more then they should. Even athletes.
But then, you don't think rap makes young kids believe that's what they've got to do to make something of themselves? Like you said "Maybe if you valued a book more than a rap cd. Maybe if you valued your history more than your music". |

What bothers me is my black friend(s) getting harassed by other blacks for hanging out with SHARP skins. A majority of the racism just comes from straight ignorance. I have to start a new thread about SHARPs, punks, and getting harassed by new skins and ignorance next. I think that will draw as much attention as this thread, unfortunately it won't have any impact on the world as much as I try. If we all take a stand towards not stereotyping every white man calling a black man "black" as racist or having our own television show, or a month devoted to our heritage and the great things white people have done, we could make a difference, but there's always going to be upset that I just said "black" so many times in this post by SOMEONE. The world needs to take the first step.... We need WHITE ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION.

I'm well spoken, articulate and educated.....and all my life I've been called white. And ya know what.....fuck em lol I get into situations they could only dream of. I've had doors open that never would have if i decided to be "black". I've been told "you don't know your roots" and I ask em if that's so what part of africa are you from? Oh that's right you came on a boat by force and you don't know. Or I ask em If I'm white how come when I go to Africa they don't look at me funny? Dude fuck em, those type of people are miserable and don't understand what the human experience is about til their ignorance comes crashing down on them in a drug overdose or a hail of bullets. Funny enough these are the same people who will hail you as a king if you do something great because "YOURE A BLACK MAN" yeah..... Perfect example......people said Barack Obama wasn't black enough (not talking politics just the situation). He doesn't know the struggles of a black man and etc....now what is the black community shouting?? Quote:
Rap and hip hop are two different entities. Rap is the make believe world where every one is Noreaga and has a cartel. Hip hop is the voice of the disenchanted people who want to be heard. I'm probably gonna get called an uncle "you know what" for my posts. |

I read your post about "they should just beat their kids", and as much as I agree, the stereotypical "g" black's kids are motivated by their parents. So they mere beat them, but inspire them to act as they do, further increasing our criminal rates, school drop outs, and gang related activity. That doesn't just go for blacks though, that's for any race. And any non-white race can complain about a white entertainment television? This has me thinking about what the education system in America is turning into... Everyone wants you to wipe their ass for them.

nah dont ban rap.. Educate the kids better to not try to live by what they see in the media.. If your easily influenced by what you see on tv, than your just retarded. Not directed toward anyone here, but you know what I mean. However, todays young generation already idolizes material things over education. Dont point fingers at ethnicity, its happening everywhere.
But yeah, whenever theres a movie on BET, its always involving some sort of hustle. =( Tune in during after-school time, 106 and Park is a positive show for kids to watch. Anyways, gotta love how this topic goes off to talk about BET.. stay on topic guys!! If anything, TV should be more wholesome and censored more. that might actually help our society. I think media influences alot of people.. esp. relationships, people judge their relationships by what htey see on tv.. dude on so and so show got multiple chicks, i need a chick like that so imma cheat on what i have. yadda yadda.

A lot of black people don't even care for BET. Or for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
It's so dumb how there has to be a black guy in every movie nowadays. It's completely silly when it's historically or geographically inaccurate/very improbable. It's funny to always see a random black guy in a movie set in the Middle Ages, or operating a movie theatre in Nazi-occupied France, haha. I can't wait until there's a WWII movie in which half of the Nazi soldiers are played by non-white actors. |

theres a line everyone crosses that makes you hate them. i dont have a problem with any race, until they start hiding behind their race, calling other people racist, and act like they are in a worse off spot because the color of their skin. we got a (kinda)black guy as the president. you dont have anything holding you back black people.
i think bill cosby said it best, when he talked to the inner city kids, and told them that they need to stop blaming white people for their problems, get out there, get a job, be responsible for their own actions...etc. and people got mad at him for saying some real shit. thats bill motherfucking cosby. i havent had anything handed to me. i worked for everything i have, and to see other people get a handout for the color of their skin, THAT is fucking racist.
