Push past the ranting and you’ll find she has a valid point. Try and put out a white history month or the United White College fund…Next thing you know, ‘ol Rev Sharpton will be banging on your door.

What’s so wrong with African Americans wanting to celebrate their culture and history? If you and Adrianne suggest boycotting BET or Black History Month, you might as well boycott Univision and the Latin Grammys while you’re at it. Make no mistake; BET and Black History Month were formed not to facilitate racism, but out of necessity. If there were more African Americans represented in the media in more diverse ways, then we wouldn’t need a month to celebrate our history or a channel celebrating our culture. White America already has the major television networks where 90-95% of the personalities are white. Not to mention, there are certain details about the history of my people I wouldn’t have learned if it wasn’t for Black History Month bringing it to my attention.

I don’t believe that BET should be marked as a racist entity, but this constant cultural wall that envelops us will never come down while favoritism exists towards the “minorities”. Those in power are those that were raised with the late 50′s and early 60′s mentality towards ethnicity. Labeling is becoming stagnant. We must embrace change in order to make it effective. Just look at who is a front runner in the democratic primary! The ideals exposed in Jena, LA exist because of a number of nitwits that have failed to change…It’s tired – just as much as Kanye West whining that he never wins because he’s black. Times are changing…As should we.

every month IS white history month. white culture IS the dominant culture. that’s the reason BET exists. and Black History month. you don’t learn about real black history in school.
