What's your opinion on Black History Month and BET. Are they racist?

Blacks had it WAY worse then than whatever they're going through now / went through recently.

and i agree with that
but i don't see how that matters at all
thats like saying we can't disagree or want anything changed because it could be worse. u can that about anything

Sure, there wasn't much Black representation in the media but I truly do not see how creating an All Black chanel helped things. I mean, people were fighting against having All White [things] but created BET? Where's the 'equality' there? In the long run, it was a tremendous failure.

it's not like no other race other than black people are ever on BET. yes the majority are black, the same as if u flip to most other channels and the majority are white and there's some other races thrown in. they should just change the name of the channel and it wouldn't be a problem anymore. this channel does need to exist, because it represents a certain group of people, a certain type of music and the people who are part of that should have a channel to watch. i know a lot of people who aren't black and watch BET because that's the music they like. i don't know about anyone else's channels but as far as mine go there isn't another channel that u can watch if ur into the main stream rap music they play. i don't care all that much for it personally but no i don't think it's racist, the only problem i see is that it has black in the title. i'm not so much offended by that because it sounds racist, but because it makes it seem like that's what's entertaining to all black people, and that's not true.

there just needs to be more channels that represent rap/hip hop culture not specifically black people, because one channel can't represent a whole races view of entertainment anyway. they'll still give black people media representation because there will be plenty of black people on there, since hip hop and rap is mostly black artists anyway.
