I think it promotes racism because of how it segregates its audience by calling their programs "black entertainment." As Morgan Freeman, or God, said, "the best way to end racism is to stop talking about it."
I respect your opinion, but I believe that by not mentioning someone's race we can become more whole. I mean it's like how when you take you STAR Exams they usually make you feel out your ethnicity, why can't we just have one box that says American? Or just not have a section like that at all. Without the mention of a person's race they become indistinguishable from the rest of the people, thus unity.
My parents never talked to me about racism, I never even noticed skin color.
I didn't even know that black people and white people DID dislike eachother until some black people told me that white people are racist against black people =/ That Freedman fella has a good head on his shoulders...
Actually there have been studies and those ethnicity questionnaires tend to affect people's scores negatively. It's hard to tell why this is the case for certain but it probably has to do with racial stereotypes and people's perceptions of their abilities being affected by them identifying with a group that is stereotypically and incorrectly presumed to be less intelligent. It's amazing we live in a country saturated with racism against black Americans and we freely elected one to the highest political position we have
Well I think that we elected Obama because of his ethnicity. He shows other blacks what they are capable of. And that is interesting to know about the effect of those questionnaires.
Do you think BET promotes racism

Not true. You will never end racism and to not talk about it is dangerous.

He was elected because he Seemed the lesser of two evils. Now I think people realize both evils were the same.
Well I think that we elected Obama because of his ethnicity. He shows other blacks what they are capable of. And that is interesting to know about the effect of those questionnaires.
