A lot you don't seem to understand so I will try to explain it to you. The reason why we have special programs for our youth, BET, TV One, and black history month is to celebrate the trial our people and our culture has gone through. A lot of young people (teens especially) do not have much confidence in themselves or pride in who they are. And like Paradiddle said, this is due to events in our history.
If you pay attention to the media, whether you want to admit it or not, it is typically the caucasian that is depicted as the most beautiful. Blonde hair and blue eyes is often associated as the pure true beauty or the all american girl. African American beauty is seldomly praised and dark skin is deemed as ugly. Channels like BET and TV One are not to exclude whites or any other race. It is to profess how superior we are. It is simply to celebrate our heritage and encourage our youth.
No. I do not think that blacks are anymore racist than any other race. I simply think that we want to support a race (our own race) that has been through many trials. We want to children to know that, just because they are black doesn't mean that they can't succeed. Beleive it or not, a lot of racism against blacks still does exist. Infact, not too long ago, I read many comments of people complaining about how the little girl in the movie "The Hungar Games" was black. Many people were outraged because she wasn't a little white girl. Don't believe me? Look it up.
In society, blacks are often depicted as "the thug", "the cheater", "ghetto" and, too many times "ignorant". What do you think this does to our youth? We are often deemed as the ugly race. Seldomly is a black woman considered beautiful in the media and, when she is, she is usually light skinned and has Caucasian features.
I think that if you understood why we did these things, you would not leave these comments and, OP, you would not leave this post. But you don't understand, and I wouldn't expect you to because they don't teach it to you.
My challenge to the majority of these people in these post is to do some homework. Look into black history, look into the crime rate, and the educational systems in primarely black neighorhoods. Look into why those neighborhoods are primarly black ot begin with and look at the media. Pay attention to who the American icons are. How many of them are dark skinned, wide nose, thick lips and considered beautiful? Look this stuff up and not with any arrogant mind but really try to learn and understand. These comments sadden me, but they are based off of ignorance. Look this stuff up before you make your statements, please.
As a black person myself, I never really knew much about my history, where I came from, or what my forefathers went through, but I joined a black youth group (one of those things you would probably consider racist) and I learned more about myself. I still don't know that much about my history and, I know that I should. But I don't because it isn't deemed as important in this nation which is why we teach to ourselves, thus black groups for young black people and channels like TV1.
Anyway, that's why we have black history month and channels and stuff. It isn't because we want to rub in the white man's face what was done to our people a hundred years ago or any of the bullshit. It is simply to encourage ourselves and teach our youth something that isn't taught enough in schools.
If you read this whole thing, thanks for reading it. I hope you understood what I was trying to say.
This is a reasonable response, except when you said, "it is to profess how superior we are". That implies you think black people are superior to other races. Maybe you meant "it is NOT to profess how superior we are"?
"Black History" is bullshit revisionism. Black Americans who mattered in history end up in regular history; the rest are just propped up into an exclusively black mythology by the left.
And as far as any "Black" entertainment is concerned, it's pretty much just voluntary segregation, like the Punjabi and Chinese do here in Canada, and the colonizing Muslims do in Europe. It pleases the left to see such 'racial diversity' when in fact this enclavisation and segregation does nothing but promote disharmony in society.
Black people who live decently, get a good education and a decent job in the professional classes are dismissed as though they were traitors for doing what white people typically do. Everything else gets packaged as 'black culture' and sold to the self-segregating audience.
It's equally bullshit that anyone thinks one race is more racist than any other. We're all racist, it's just black people seem to be more honest with it because white guilt is still fashionable these days. We would all prefer to live among our own 'people' if we had the choice, it's the same thing as preferring family over acquaintances; it's just built into our genomes. Let's stop lying to ourselves.
what are you on about? The Chinese (women) in canada breed with whites like nobody's business... surely that's the extreme opposite of segregation??? To give one's identity up to another race?
"African American beauty is seldomly praised and dark skin is deemed as ugly."
Have you ever considered that this might not be due to racism at all? Think about it.
"It is simply to celebrate our heritage and encourage our youth."
And that's great. I just wish we Whites could do the same without being viciously attacked as "racists."
"I read many comments of people complaining about how the little girl in the movie "The Hungar Games" was black. Many people were outraged because she wasn't a little white girl. Don't believe me? Look it up."
I'm aware. And that's just retarded, as apparently these people never even bothered to read the damned book.
"In society, blacks are often depicted as "the thug", "the cheater", "ghetto" and, too many times "ignorant". What do you think this does to our youth?"
With all due respect, stereotypes exist for a reason.
"Pay attention to who the American icons are. How many of them are dark skinned, wide nose, thick lips and considered beautiful?"
Well, there's also the matter of almost all "villains" being portrayed as White, while Blacks are very often given much more flattering roles. It cuts both ways.
"If you read this whole thing, thanks for reading it."
No problem.
Again, if you would pay attention, I did not leave this post to target or point the "racist" finger at whites. I simply did it so that you would get an understanding of why we celebrate and do the things we do. I am not looking for a debate, so don't waste your time. I just want you to, before posting negative comments about us celebrating our heritage, get an inside look on why we do it.
You're not wrong about everything, but there are some things I need to point out:
"Greetings from a proud White person."
Why would you be proud of something you were born with.
That's like being proud of the money you inherited from your parents or bragging about how tall you are.
"Have you ever considered that this might not be due to racism at all?"
A lot of chinese women come to my country to get plastic surgery to make them look less asian. With globalisation came a global ideal of beauty and it's white. Not because white people are the most beautiful but because we are the most privileged. Just like being fat was considered a good thing when it ment you were rich. Now I'm not sure if it's racist, but it's sad and unnecessary.
"stereotypes exist for a reason."
Yes. Ignorant dumbasses.
but thats the thing. Look a bit closer, ask these chinese and asian women WHY they do it. Because they think white people look more beautiful, they are prescribing to white beauty ideals. It's not because of "privilege", if they wanted privilege they could just sign up for the Chinese communist party and get it from there. Or blow some officials or whatever.
They do it because they have been brainwashing into thinking whites are superior, that their own race is beneath them. An inferiority complex, that many whites happily capitalise on.
"We are often deemed as the ugly race. Seldomly is a black woman considered beautiful in the media and, when she is, she is usually light skinned and has Caucasian features."
Ironic as surely its asians that are deemed the ugly race? It has gotten to the extent that asians - men and women - are routinely using surgery and "beauty" products to make them look as white as possible. Where asian women have children with white men because they want their kids to be whiter. I do not see black women do that, certainly not to the extent of asian women. At least black women have their sense of identity, regardless of what white media says.
And your last point..."seldomly is a black women seen as beautiful".... same with asian men surely??? White media seems to like two things nonwhite - black men, asian women.
Is it normal To think black people are the most racist of all?

I wish they'd fuck all the white guys. Less competition for me.

And ironically, you respond with no actual logic whatsoever.
If you're looking for a debate, bring it on. Otherwise, spare me.

Wha'...?
Did you even read my post? I'll have you know that I'm the one who up-voted yours; perhaps that should help clarify things.
You're not wrong about everything, but there are some things I need to point out:
