No, I did not, but thanks for your valuable input. Keep it coming, genius. Looks likes the liberals are confused if they think the WET channel is acceptable or not.




I apologize in advance to the other posters whose answers I'm drawing on here, you said these things first, I'm just re-presenting them to see if they make more sense.

If you're talking about prime-time offerings; then ABC, NBC and CBS basically comprise WET. It's less true as you include children's programming and day-time programming.

The growth of more diverse options further down the channel line-up; on cable and satellite, is a marketplace vote for more representation (or a marketplace vote against more homogenized offerings since the big 3 broadcasters have lost viewership.)

Just to avoid further misunderstanding; your question is a meaningless one because there the WET already exists.

I see your point and believe it or not, somewhat agree. Somewhat being the key word.

However, take the Miss Black America pageant. What is the need for this? It should be Miss America and that's it.



TB, the greater issue with racism is this: is it intentional and harmful. If you are coming from the angle that we need to be free of all forms and 'crutches' of and to racism. This is idealistic and a bit unrealistic (although hopefully not to unrealistic) but this is where I am and I hope where you are as well. However, I have a feeling that you are a bit racist as it seems like you are coming from the "PC is inherently bad" or "But they are doing it" angle.
The 'need' for a Miss Black America contest is because they are not a majority. The issue and explanation for this is the same as the one I gave for BET/WET. Or said another way, traditionally, celebrating black culture is more of a reminder that there IS racism, whereas celebrating white culture is more an sentiment that racism is good. Like it or not.

Does it bother you to go to McDonalds in the USA and have to order in Spanish? Yes or No.




No; however, that's because I understand that the United States' economy is heavily dependent on migrant workers performing jobs that no one else wants.

You don't seem top understand Colmes' role. He is on Fox to provide weak arguments. The conservatives want to hear their views prevail, not the other way around.

Colmes is the equivalent of the Washington Generals that always lost to the Globetrotters, he is not hired to win.

If you scroll back and read there were more than two people who thought the post was thoughtless and less than compassionate.
