that’s ridiculous, dude. people are always saying ‘if a white guy started a cable network called white entertainment television, blah blah blah, outrage, double standard etc…’. first of all, white americans (like myself) have to realize how stupid complaints about ‘double standards’ and ‘reverse racism’ sound coming from our mouths. whites have basicly nothing to complain about with regards to racism. secondly, if there’s no exclusivly white media, what do you call the nashville network, country 99, anything that has a rock (post vietnam era) format, abc, cbs, cnn cnbc,nbc,the new york times, practicly any newspaper (‘news is what happens near the editor’s home’), etc,. etc. etc…?. i wish blacks were alot less uptight about ethnic humor too, but they are, and with just cause. so i respect their boundries. we’re in a time when after 400 years of coexistence, blacks are just now getting respect and recognition as equals and whites are just recently accepting the fact that they’re just another race. maybe 3 or 4 generations down the road all the wounds’ll be healed and we’ll all be comfortable swapping nigger/honkey jokes like polish,irish,and italian folks do. but untill then whites are just going to have to take a little flack for having the privledge of being able to walk into a department store without being tailed like a criminal.
