Afam4eva:
That racist show should be stopped by all means. lol.

anonymous6:


yup its funny, I feel black pageants should continue and even be bigger worldwide

Afam4eva:

What about White pageants?

anonymous6:


don't they exist already

Afam4eva:

No, they don't. You can point me to anyone you know.

Afam4eva:

No, they don't. You can point me to anyone you know.

Afam4eva:

But blacks are allowed to contest in those pageants and have won in some occasions.

anonymous6:


Yea but overly under-represented though

Afam4eva:

I know there's still some form of racism but let's not lose sight of the fact that blacks represent just 13% of the US population. It's not like they're a majority that should be felt all the time.

anonymous6:


I understand what you are saying but I think because of what african American women have went through and what they still go through in America when it comes to social and beauty image which is not positive but better from decades ago however far from perfect. so I think they do it to uplift African American women and girls to a extent

Afam4eva:

I understand why they do it and i really have no qualms about it. I'm only disturbed by the double standard and as much as i believe that the white people have done a lot of harm to people of color all over the world, i think there should be a level playing field of some sort by people of all races. If there is an issue with white people having an organization then same thing should be applied to black organizations. It all depends on what these organization are created for. It it's to celebrate the uniqueness of each race then fine my me but if it's to encourage some form of superiority then i'm not a fan. We always seem to overflog what the white people have done to us but we seem to forget that it's the same white people that abolished most of the things they were known for.

Sorry to unearth this old thread...

There is nothing racist about a Black Miss Pennsylvania pageant just like there's nothing racist about the BET awards. Anyone who thinks otherwise is confused. There are numerous places to get an explanation from I hate having conversations like that.

Worst thing is when black people themselves say sh*t like that. Double standard my foot. There should even be more things for "only" black people.

OP do you live in the U.S.

Afam4eva:

Do you also think there should be one for specifically white people.?

MrsPhyno:

Do you think there should be White Entertainment Television? Like a white version of BET?

Afam4eva:

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. If its right to have BET then what is wrong in having WET?

MrsPhyno:

My dear so is that a yes? There should be a WET?

Afam4eva:

I'm waiting for an answer to the question I posed. And my answer is a. IF statement.

MrsPhyno:

Lol answer me first na.

Okay here's my answer. There in no way should be one specifically for white people.

Now please answer

Afam4eva:

But there should be one for black people? That's not fair. I believe in fairness.

Answering your question is tricky. I guess the more suppressed group deserves to give themselves a little push. I don't know what a WET will be like.

PreciousBro:
Why do the blacks feel they have to breathe the "air" of relevance as though they aren't already by default relevant ? Inferiority complex if you'd ask me....

This is what I want blacks to understand,the mainstream organisation that are already "white"established and predominantly theirs(politically or not) shouldn't make blacks want/need to uphold an organisation exclusively to their race,...it'll mean following their(white) steps,being slaves to them and eternally second-fiddle to whites. mainstream bodies that are white dominated is testament to the fact that,blacks are minorities and we don't have to cry racism when our quest for establishing Organisations that are black exclusive thereby side-lining white race in it self is racism. Or do they have exclusive white programs and systems that blacks aren't remotely part of ?

After all, blacks still participate in the so called mainstream "white" predominant org.

Radoillo:
This isn't a goose-and-gander scenario. Mainstream American media, etc, are already predominantly white. They do not need special us-only organizations (like NAACP) or media houses (like BET) to feel relevant or visible.

Minorities still do.
