If a white person would have said what Shannon Sharpe just said he would get fired

[Bobilla]

Andy Rooney went off on 60 minutes a few weeks ago. I wish I had that email still. He hit the issue right on the nose. Heres one. Why is White Power considered racist. And Black power is pride and Ok?

 

[CHOPTALK]

There already is a W.E.T. It's just about every channel on your television.

Dumb post of the year.

The only kind of television that is white dominated anymore is country music, and soap operas. Every other for of television is loaded with black material. ESPN,HBO,MTV,etc.....etc.......etc........

Im sure I wont hear back from you again.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS YOUR HONER? It works both ways my friend.:shootbb:

He shoots he scores!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[THERECORDKEEPER2]

919 , first off I was not the person who made the Shannon Sharp comment , Try reading!!!
Secondly just answer "Yes" or "No" , would the Black people have a fit and demand the station change its name if a cable company named one of its stations W.E.T? Just answer that question!The answer is without a doubt "YES".If you think I say all this becasue I take a White persons view , then I suggets you listen to what Bill Cosby has to say, but of course he'e a racist too, right?
All I'm saying is whats good for one race is good for another!! whether you be black or white!
Your point about all the other channels being "WHITE" channels is one of the most idiotic statements I have ever seen, that was not my point , my point was what if we called all the channels W.E.T, would the Black community raise hell? You bet they would!

Preach it buddy. Thats what im saying. Im not racist, im just racist against racist if that makes sense. As you can see in this thread http://forum.therx.com/showthread.php?t=321120&highlight=racist

I go both ways. Just because I hate double standards does not mean I hate black people. How hard is that to understand. I will say it one more time. If Terry Bradshaw would have said what sharp said yesterday he would be unemployed. No matter how simple the comment seemed at the time.

I disagree with what Rush Limbaugh said about Donovan McNabb, but its funny how the head of the NAACP said the exact same thing Rush said and he still has his job. Why is that? Can you say double standard.

White MEN cant jump. What if they made a movie named Black men cant read? See my point.

Wow, you got all excited there didn't ya. Thanks for answering that question. Let me know when you can get to my original point. You know, the one you called the "dumb post of the year". That there is no need for W.E.T., because it's all over TV.

Feel free to look through the shows I have supplied for you.

 

[THERECORDKEEPER2]

CHOPTALK was thinking of the exact same movie title, the Black community would have DEMANDED the name of the MOVIE be changed, had it been a slight to the black people (and the best part of it , is the industry would have bowed down and changed it) !!

 

[DeathEatsaCracker]

Shannon Sharpe just said on the halftime show that the reason Vince Young is comming out early is because Texas does not offer ballroom dancing classes at Texas. What if Terry Bradshaw would have said that? He would have been gone tommorow.

You're really reaching....

 

[husker]

maybe i missed something but if 80% of the population is white what they watch will be the top rated shows.

Well I dont seem to watch nearly as much TV as you do my friend. 85% of the shows that you have listed I have never seen 1 single episode and thats being conservative. I think the number is closer to 95%.

I watch 2 shows on a weekly bases when they come on T.V.

24, where the president of the United States was black. And American Idol, where the winner 2 out of the last 3 years is black. Other than that, all I have to go off of on the other shows is just seeing previews that they show during ball games.

If you cant see my point its hopless. I defended the black race in the thread above. It is indisputable. This is not a black/white issue like your making it out to be. Its a double standard issue. I will excuse your ignorance.

That's funny, 24 is the only show I watch too. Of course the president was black, but he wasn't there last season. My only point was this...WET is everywhere...no need for it....When BET came out, there wasn't much Black Entertainment around. That is all.

Who made it a black/white issue? I am simply pointing out the number of TV shows that are focused towards whites, thereby making it unnecessary for WET.

Have a good day.

 

[THERECORDKEEPER2]

Husker , your exactly right , but I did not even bother to try an explain it to 919,he as its apparent he's wearing BLINDERS when it comes to this issue!

Correct. Therefore, no need for WET.
