The only time groups put an emphasis on "white" on anything they promote is for impure reasons. A lot of cultural events featuring many white people in America are broken up into their subcultures such as Italian, German, Irish, etc. This is also true for certain Asian and Latino communities who continue to practice traditions and holidays despite being in the US. Their events would be named according to their respective countries of origin. On the other hand, you have black people in America who use the broad term "black" since it's what we have in common since we have no strong connection with our African heritage. Many of us don't know if we originated from Ethiopia, Nigeria, or Egypt. We use black as a blanket term and have done so for a long time since we do not represent those "traditional Americans". There is no Irish or Italian Entertainment Television for entertaining Irish or Italian people even with a "strong connection to their heritage". When you claim there is no identifiable culture or tradition, what exactly is there to differentiate black Americans from any other Americans? You know, beyond wanting to segregate from other Americans based on the colour of their skin. The exact same issue with using "White". I wasn't referring to tv exclusively if you had read my post, and a lot of what we produce and talk about is due to the segregation we already had. We had an Irish festival near my job awhile ago that didn't seem to upset our non irish guests. No one had an issue with one man wearing the flag of Ireland as a cape, but let's just thank God it wasn't a Mexican flag. Oh Boy! There are many channel though dedicated to Spanish speaking, LGBT, and women that produce content towards those audiences just like BET and it's affiliates cater to what some would consider "urban" if it makes you feel better to use that term instead, I'm sure you would. --- I've lost the use of my heart, but I'm still alive. <cite>KStateKing17 posted [p:888266987] in Eminem bla...
