Several years ago I had the same discussion with an older White woman co-worker. She told me in a very sarcastic way that Blacks have their own beauty pageant and I not so politley pointed out to her that as long as I have looked at any type of pageant on tv it has always been NOTHING BUT WHITE WOMEN! But in reality it never bothered me when I was growing up b/c there were nothing but White people on tv anyway: Bonanza, Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Lassie, Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch...you very rarely saw a Black person on those shows. But that was the sign of the times back in those days. Then everything changed and shows starring Black actors became very popular: Good Times (with JJ), The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Cosby...weren't those the good 'ole days when comedies were fun! I even liked Archie Bunker...and I have some White friends who didn't.

There may have been a time for BET and Miss Black America pageants, but those days are past.
If you really want to get down to the fairness aspect, in the NBA over 90% of the players are black. In the NFL 70% are black. If blacks only make up 17% of the population, is it fair for them to dominate rosters? They want equal representation on coaching staffs and ownerships. Why not relegate them to only 17% of a total roster. Then fill the rest of the rosters with Germans, Italians, Hispanics, Chinese, Native-Americans, Irish, Scottish, Korean, Indonesians, and every other ethnic group there is to assure diversity.
Chicago advertising legend Tom Burrell is making what may be the most important pitch of his life. He's trying to convince blacks that the daily consumption of negative images and stereotypes erodes self-esteem and keeps them feeling and acting like second-class citizens.
"The longest-running propaganda campaign is that of black inferiority," said Burrell, 71, the founder of the Chicago-based Burrell Communications, a multimillion-dollar ad agency specializing in the African-American market.
"We have to understand that images, symbols and words can be so powerful and so ubiquitous that they affect behavior without us knowing it."
In his popular book, "Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority," Burrell, who's African-American, said many individuals and institutions have been complicit in keeping the myth alive. Burrell takes to task the Founding Fathers; the mainstream media and advertisers; some churches and long-standing civil rights organizations; and blacks themselves who spew the N-word, link academic achievement to "acting white" or simply engage in self-destructive behavior.

Hmm? Why is it that when blacks "act right" they get accused of "acting white"? Isn't that why most blacks fall back to "acting ghetto"?

You don't give a damn about fairness all you care about is that your race is dominant over the Black race. I bet you wish you could have lived in the day when you could have cracked a whip over a black man's back while he was tied up or put a noose around his neck and watch him suffocate to death. For all I know, you probably have already done that or witnessed it.

Casper, I bet you think blacks were inslaved because of their skin color.
No I don't. I've learned the history of black slavery, the REAL HISTORY! I know that the chiefs of the African tribes sold their black slaves to the White man...I'm not that stupid. But I'm glad they did or else I wouldn't be here. Thank, God! Afterall it was God who decided I should be born here. Not the White man, although he believes he is greater than God.
I'm going with low IQ's and high testosterone levels.The two factors that keep most blacks from succeeding is peer pressure and institutional racism.
If you think blacks do poorly in America, they do much worse in the rest of the world.
My brother has an IQ of over 150 but he never finished HS.
What's his excuse?
I doubt intelligence is a factor. It's simply not cool to be good at school.

And I suppose now you're trying to convince us you're a Christian.
I've noticed many of the most prejudice people in the world are deeply religious.
