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...

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.

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...
