Rippa Boi 10-25-08 01:31 AM

Yeah But paper trail is snap'n. As for luda he is one of the best meta spitter out there.

La Cosa Nostra 10-25-08 01:36 AM

why is there black awards and not white awards....


why can there be a black television network.........but if there was an all white tv network it would be labeled as perpectuating supremisist perspectives and racism?

sorry man thats all i dont understand about BET... if someone could clear that up that would be great

Because and I qoute, "Nigga's fell like every Channel is Dedicated to someone else". Man you do have white channels There not call White Entertainment Tv, It's CNN, NBC, FOX, FX, History Channel, Etc.. As for nigga's We let it be known That It's Black Entertainment.

10-25-08 01:55 AM

that's because 4 a black man that talks and acts like a "white person", Niggas think he's white-washed and that the channel that has a black man and not a Nigga who doesn't wear belts 'n' says it's 'cuz he can't afford them, shootin' gats with gold teeth is an All White Channel.

Would you not agree that the music recognised in those awards is of black origin? and primarily are associated with the black and ethnic minority communities? and are primarily performed and lead by members of the black and ethnic minority groups? would you not also agree that the relative majority share of the viewers are from the back/ethnic minority groups?

If there was a white tv network, I honestly wouldn't feel it was someone trying to perpetuate supremicist views, maybe that is just me. The thing is, its about balance.

Black people felt they needed a network/show whatever to specifically address and talk about their interests/culture, nothing more, nothing less. On the BBC News in the UK it would be ridiculous to say that the news reported is always of relevance to the black community, simply because the lion share of its viewers are white; Therefore they cater the stories and issues they talk about to white people. In the UK on sky(your equivalent is cable) there are over 20 indian channels, 16 muslim channels etc this isn't racial supremicism. Just a network of channels catering to their individual ideals/cultures.

I personally have never seen a problem.

Yeah What He Said

Adam 10-25-08 12:27 PM

Calling something Black Entertainment and excluding other races from their awards is racist. I don't give a fuck how you want to put it. It's funny too because the best hip hop artists are mostly white.

Rippa Boi 10-25-08 04:24 PM

The award goes to who the people think is best.

La Cosa Nostra 10-25-08 09:12 PM

nah.. no way are the best hip hop artists usually white...

ive heard some insane black rappers whose lyrics are out of this world.... per capita though, you could actually be right... who knows... wed have to do a study on that to find out... and i sure as fuck dont care enough about it to go down that path bro..

lol.. rappers are rappers... skin pigment is meaningless... which brings me to my argument...

you do raise some good points man..

it just kind of pisses me off that there isnt a channel devoted to white people with shows that specifically exclude people of all other races than caucasian... with news only relating to whats happening in the world that ONLY concearns white people, plays music thats ONLY made by white people and plays shows where blacks, asians, indians, etc are strictly not allowed in...

oh wait... wouldnt that kick up a massive stink....

that shit would be like rosa parks all over again... i mean really..

would you have no problem if a network left unsaid, but implicated that there are to be no blacks allowed on this channel?

acuity as i said, all your points are totally valid.. but racial exclusion of any form is gonna be the brunt of debate.. i disagree with what BET do and I actually do think its a form of racism...

thats my 2 cents worth on the issue brother...

Tha .Q 10-26-08 01:10 PM
