Yeah, of course WET would be racist, as BET would be in another CONTEXT, that is, if African Americans dominated the culture and whites got discriminated against on a daily basis. Such events are a necessity as long as there is actual discrimination and factual segregation to raise awareness of the issue in the minds of the mainstream (=whites).

Many people here argue against BET and BHM and I believe them that they are not racist but I also that they do not fully grasp how it must be for an African American to be repeatedly confronted with underlying racism and rejection throughout their entire life! Not to mention the people who are STILL real racists, openly so or hidden.

So you ask: "Why the double standard?" The answer is a question: "Why still the double standard in the treatment of different races in society in general?"

There is no need for  white  tele channel MOST channels where  already  whites only  for the most part for years.

The world is changing  I dont think you and pat buchanan get it

... Four states are majority-minority as of 2009: Hawaii (which is the only state that has never had a white majority), New Mexico, California, and Texas[1].
,,.The percentage of non-Hispanic white residents has fallen below 60 percent in Maryland, Georgia and Nevada, Arizona, New York, and Mississippi.[2].
...The District of Columbia reached a majority black status during the latter stages of the Great Migration.
..All major United States territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa) are majority-minority areas.
... 7 of the 40 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. are majority-nonwhite.

Guess what
There is a black president
and there is going to be a hispanic woman on the supreme court.

and you are worried about an  awards show?

if whites where in the same situation as blacks then a white awards show would make sense

Or if gays where in the same position then a gay awards show

Or if Hispanics where in the same position  then a latin awards show

getting the concept?

A conservative believes nothing should be done for the first time

to UID he/she is very new. Don't let the paranoia regarding sock puppets get to you, opi ;). As far as I am concerned, if someone does not openly say he/she is also another account, I don't speculate (with the exception of Kentroll here in the TYT-Forum, he is painfully obvious). I guess that is the difference of real person and internet persona, you can have more than one of the latter (though I am not condoning it).
