How long are you going to cry about it? It is what it is. Now its rare to find an all white show, or any all any one ethnicity show. Get off your soapbox. It's not that critical. Your point is moot at best.
Thanks for playing.

I didn't bring up the point of "all white" shows, you did. Thank you for clarifying that "Now its rare to find an all white show".
Your failure to provide proof of a current "all white show" proves my point. That YOUR original statement was false and only meant to be inflammatory.
I win

My original statement was about the all white shows that have been on tv for years without blacks and now your bytch and whine when there is a black show with now whites...Reverse racism? Naa, that's an easy cop out for the white guilt that fills most of the bobblehead Hollyweird types.
Sure you "win".

Yes, it IS racism when ANY race or group excludes others from organizations, schools, clubs and yes, TV shows. There is NO "reverse" about it.

How is it racism when the white writers are not writing in white people in black situation comedies or otherwise? You are killing me, man.
You people are always pulling the race card. Give it a rest. White people have had it very good for a very long time in this country without any resistance. Now, its a new day. We've seen enough all white tv shows, thanks. Other people are "Friends" as well...Asian people need a tv show now, with no white people. Why? Because we know how you act already, we need some variety, man. A change from the same old cauliflower to some collard greens, man...
All we are saying, is Give peas a chance...

Whites are always the ones on every mag cover, all white movies, all white country clubs, towns etc etc. Whites can't even take a half white president being in the white house! They complain, but yet still run and over take this country on a social level, economic level and political level!

True. Although,I have to admit that I liked most of the white shows in the 60s and 70s. Not just because I'm white, but because I thought they were better. Today, I don't care for most or any of the shows - sit-comes - black or white, and George Lopez's show wasn't good, either. I use to love Sanford and Son, and still watch some of the reruns. Redd Fox was hilarious as Fred Sanford, as well as Esther Rolle - Aunt Esther. Lamont was sweet and funny too, oh and Grady, Fred's best friend. The Jeffersons was another favorite. I also liked "Good Times", Bill Cosby and a few other black sit-comes that I thought were entertaining. So, I watched and liked many good black shows. Today, TV plain stinks. I suppose I long for the good old days. It's not about black or white for me. I rarely even watch TV anymore. I just happen to miss the better quality and availability of everything, including the fact that I got way more for my dollar in those days.

Not really. There is no month set aside *just* for white folks and celebrating their culture and attributes. As for the rest of history, that is what needs to be updated to be more accurate.
One thing I hate is inaccuracies and misinformation when trying to correct the inaccuracies in the history books. There are plenty of black inventor lists going around which mean well but are demeaning. They credit black folks with inventions where they only made minor improvements, while missing much more important contributions of black folks. Plus they even get the spellings of the names wrong. Where is the credibility in saying, "Thank you what's-your-name for doing whatever it was you did?" So the lists tend to be both patronizing and insulting. We should celebrate people for what they actually did, and be complete and fair about it.

Are you serious? A month set aside for white people to celebrate "your" culture and attributes???
You dominate the school history books, and have taken credit for building America. This country is over 200 years old and we've had one president of color.
Give me a break.

I disagree. There should be a white society and a black one, and with all the same advantages. If you don't like it, you should have the right to start your own town. I'd settle on my own island.
The big thing in ads now are ads depicting black men exploiting white women and dating them like they own all white women. Check the ads they run on CBS and try to find one with men and women in it where black men aren't hugging up against white women. That seems racists against everyone. It tells black men that black women are not desirable, and tells white women that they are nothing without a black man.

That is general history. Where is a special day just for White people and none other? There is none. Don't blame whites when you won't assert more representative teaching about history. Whites have built America. Why don't you embrace White history and culture? If all races are equal as black folks claim, then celebrating white history is the same as celebrating any other, since we are all the same. Since this is America, everyone needs to live according to white culture and values. None of this sagging crap, violent music, or speaking different languages.
You don't know what my race is. I could be a black person who has mainstream culture and values. I could be Japanese, Chinese, or another species for all you know. You can't act different from the mainstream and earn the rights that mainstream values and culture give. You can gain more rights by acting respectful and respectable than loudly demanding legislated respect while you refuse to show it.

Pure ignorance! Please explain "white" culture.
