at how easily angered Manny and ChuckD are. And
at the people who run out of things to say so they pad their posts with something derrogatory. I've never been big on that, well except when I was in 6th grade and I would call someone a fruit (it was the cool thing to say at the time) just to piss that person off.
I'm not white so I "have no horse in this race", nor am I black. But I'd like to think I can weigh in on this a bit. I don't think whites have experienced as much prejudice but trends do seem to be reversing. I hear "white boy" thrown around a lot. I'm a fan of rap battle and any time a white guy says anything, it is almost always met with some discriminating remark about white people.
Similarly, I did not receive any kind of scholarship for my race. My university offers this McNair's scholars program that is only awarded to certain minorities or first generation college students. I was pretty disappointed by this, so I looked around to see what other scholarships there were for someone of my mixed ethnicity. There weren't too many, so it's loans for me.
My take: white people may be at a closer starting point to the end of the race than minorities, but it's like minorities have a crutch to help them when their feet start to get tired. If you're a minority and in unpleasant cir stances, you're probably really pissed off that someone else has it better either because they worked hard or cause they were born into it. If you're a white person, you're probably pissed you have to work harder than others to yield the same result due to racial differences.
But in any event, to assume Sisk is a lazy white person is unreasonable to me, as were the posts that began dropping racial stereotypes left and right either for argument or sarcasm.

lol, he's going to "through" the Manny awards.
Celebrating one's race is different than hating on another.
It is a fine line though, and although it would be best to have a network bring more unity to all races, we have to expect that there are numerous niche networks in existence and BET is just another in a long line trying to get and keep ratings.
They started out well, wanting to be a positive cultural impact on young African-Americans, and went through tough times too, when trying their best to censor profane videos and thusly receiving backlash from certain artists.
It's now owned by VIACOM anyhow, but I admire the fact that BET continues to try its best to give young African-Americans a positive influence with their programming and censors much of the junk.
The biggest problem for the African-American community is the poor choices for role models that many of the youth have put in front of them. This is not exclusive to the African-American community though. It's an epidemic across all races with visual access to junk that praises money, exploits women, and glorifies violence.
"No dark sarcasm, in the classroom..."
After reading this thread, it is apparent that many of you have let segregation and hatred infiltrate your hearts. You may have let this happen and feel that you are fighting in the name of justice, but you have just lowered yourself to the level of that which you claim to fight against.
Rise above. We are all in the same boat. To problem solve, we must look at root cause and not just focus on the end result. I was watching intervention yesterday, a few episodes, and all the families would focus on is the substance abuse. Never, what caused this to happen? Always the same answer. Lack of love from where the lost sought it most. The pain turns to hate. Hate perpetuates the cycle of disaster.
Break the cycle. Do it in your own life. If you can't do it in your own life, you have no business preaching for others to do it in theirs. Lead by example. Not by just words.
Words are meaningless and easily forgotten. Actions stand the test of time my friends.
Have a good day.
shut up, hippie.
No one "puts" those role models in front of them. You think somehow music videos became black culture? You've got that just exactly backwards.
There are four black CEOs in the Fortune 500. There are probably four drug dealers fighting over every good corner to sell drugs on every block in every neighborhood in every city in every state in this country. Now, you tell me what the odds say a little black kid is going to become.
You missed where I "here" something.
Yeah sorry, but I'm not going to seriously try to get to someone who is claiming his burden as a white male is so damn severe and is due to white owned ins utions like BET existing combined with "affirmative action scholarships".
Saying that white people experience prejudice because rap battles make fun of white people is some more mind blowing . I guarantee you that for every white boy insult in a rap battle there is some smoky room with a bunch of rich white males complaining about those "lazy wetbecks" or "crackhead ######s" who are taking over this country.I'm not white so I "have no horse in this race", nor am I black. But I'd like to think I can weigh in on this a bit. I don't think whites have experienced as much prejudice but trends do seem to be reversing. I hear "white boy" thrown around a lot.

I really doubt you couldn't find scholarships that you were eligible for based upon race if you have mixed ethnicity unless that mixed ethnicity contains no minority backgrounds.Similarly, I did not receive any kind of scholarship for my race. My university offers this McNair's scholars program that is only awarded to certain minorities or first generation college students. I was pretty disappointed by this, so I looked around to see what other scholarships there were for someone of my mixed ethnicity. There weren't too many, so it's loans for me.

I don't know what every white person or every minority feels but I do know that white people have the wealth in this country. The race is most definitely not even even and ever sociological stat in the book backs that up.
Oh I don't know if he's lazy, I just know that he's stupid and that he gets offended by being called whitey.But in any event, to assume Sisk is a lazy white person is unreasonable to me, as were the posts that began dropping racial stereotypes left and right either for argument or sarcasm.
Why does everything bad have to be named "Black" or "Dark"? I bet some white scientist named this station.
nope, sorry but most odious things are more associated to the dusty race than any other race you know, as far as i know.
Debating chicken or the egg serves no purpose. Fact of the matter is that there are many innocent children being exposed to this everyday. However, parents are ultimately accountable for being proper role models for their children. Unfortunately, with so many broken families, across all races, there is often one parent missing altogether while the other works an overabundance of hours to make ends meat and provide for survival. The love can often get lost in the process. As elementary as it sounds, the hugs, the kisses, the proper guidance for our children gets lost as too many serve money as their God instead of Love. I cannot blame those working to provide the bare essentials. They are put behind the 8ball from the start. However choosing better partners with which to have children is something totally in everyone's control.
Lost children therefore look to the closest source of affection, without regard for if the influence is positive or negative. Negative influences are pseudo affection, but without the proper guidance, the children are not wise enough to know the difference.
Once indoctrinated, it is often too late. And the cycle continues.
Actually, this was a jab at the "Hallmark is racist" thread while calling BET bad at the same time.
It was a sarcastic remark, I was sure someone would notice and laugh.
Dusty race??
I've had trouble sleeping ever since failing to make the first team around here. I'll be damned if I'm going to miss out on winning a Manny Award.
Hey, I'm curious why the fault has to lie elsewhere for those minority students who are "disproportionately" underachieving in school? Btw, i dont know that they are, i am only going by what you had said previously, Manny.
If i took 1000 kids and 400 white kids made A's and B's, 200 "minority" kids made A's and B's and 400 kids of all colors completely failed...who's fault is that, other than the kids who failed (and maybe their parents)? Are you assuming that the minority kids are some how at a disadvantage? If so, why? Do they really need to have tools to put them on an even ground to achieve the same grades, or ability to get higher education?
I always thought minority scholarships are pretty much perpetrating a segregation type at ude, but I'm curious to hear from "the horses mouth" so to speak. Not meaning anything derogatory, only that Manny, you seem to be up to par on your knowledge of this subject, so id like your view on it.
Why do you feel any student should be given special consideration on scholarships based on their ethnicity? Why would your ethnicity put you at a disadvantage in study habits and the ability to achieve good grades?
http://www.boston.com/news/local/mas...rvard_student/
This kid seems to blow most of the assumptions out of the water. I'm sure there are other examples like him, but this just comes to mind first.
Just so its clear, I think all scholarships and schools need to completely ignore race as a deciding factor. If you want a scholarship, you should tailor your study habits and grades to have the best chance to win said scholarship... , take the names off of the applications so the reviewers only have the kids stats to go by to make decisions...race should play no part in it, as i don't want a lazy white kid to get a free ride to school, just as i wouldn't want a lazy ANY OTHER race getting a free ride based on some arbitrary statistic...wouldn't you agree?
How are white people being upon due to the existence of BET?
How are white people being upon at all?
Also, the affirmative action that keeps being thrown around in this thread is ignorant. Affirmative action is not a black/white thing, and has never been. Since its inception, affirmative action has been far more beneficial to women of all colors than it has been to blacks or any other race.
You have not a single clue what you're talking about.Got something going on? I'm butthurt? First of all - the majority is white, therefore the majority of these people on television and that "own and dominate" the nation would make sense, right?
Second of all - being a white male in this country literally does nothing beneficial for me. In fact, I'm at a disadvantage. Why? Becuase do we have "Caucasian" scholarships? No, but there are for blacks/latinos/women/etc. If you open a business as anything but a white male, you get tax breaks.
"goin' on" - yeah, I guess being hand fed a job because of your color (affirmative action) makes it easy to have something "goin' on"
Literally.
Not one.
Because I paid for 300 channels, dammit, but because BET is for black people I'm really only getting 299!
I was going to make a serious post but then:
LOL!
Spot on!!
which is why it needs to get gone
