    Just out of curiosity what are you're thoughts on the Black Enertainment Television awards (BET)?

    I find it interesting that if there was a White Entertainment Televison awards there would most likely be uproar from all walks of life, with shouts of 'racism' etc.

    Most other TV awards are white TV awards aren't they?

    Never watched BET awards but Aaron McGruder hates 'em and he's my source for black culture so I'm staying away from them.

    The channel is ****. And you are right. A White Entertainment Channel woukld create such an outcry.

    But the Cosby Show and Fresh Prince are long gone, what the fúck else is there?

    There is a genre of entertainment that is aimed at a black audience. No big deal that it should have an awards ceremony tbh

    First I've heard of the BET awards.

    Is it a big event?

    Should I give my slaves the day off for it?

    MTV.

    Minorities tend to have their own award shows so not a big deal. There's plenty of Irish language ones here for example

    But only in some parts of Ireland are the Irish in the minority, Parnell St & Blanchardstown for example - and most taxi ranks, otherwise we're still in the majority.

    Kinda like the MOBO awards I suppose. Doesn't bother me.

    But here it's the MOFO awards yo :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    MOBOs are a joke, if you seperate out classical trad/folk and electronic, all mainstream music is of black origin via jazz and blues so the show awards should feature loads of whites as well. Instead you just get the odd "token" whitey like Amy Whitehouse and Tim Westwood

    Why are you turning AH into a house of lies? I'll bet "dey tuk err jobs" is every second sentence out of your mouth.

    My first thought is generally: please please please please please please let Halle Berry be receiving a reward in a low-cut dress.

    I am black and i find it very annoying plus the tribute to MJ was just retarded!

    Black people always like to milk the whole slavery/nigga BS!!!!

    Get a fecking grip!

    Don't really give a sh*t TBH but will agree with the OP that if there was a " White entertainment award " there would be an outrage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭LouOB


    There will be a day people when 'white entertainment awards' and 'hetrosexual' parades are allowed. Until then we have to stay quiet in fear of recrimnations

    I know someone in HR and apparently there are always people preaching the double standard crap from the wrong end.

    Had a few drinks with her the other day and got this..
    " I just pray when we're advertising a job that a Black, pregnant, traveller, woman doesnt apply for it.. We'd be fcuked, she could have any bloody job in the company"

    Why would you want a white entertainment award? Honestly interested in this, and "if blacks can have one, so should we" is not valid.

    Don't be so dishonest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,282 ✭✭✭BlackWizard


    Since black are lesser than white people they need their own award show. I've no issue with that :D

    White people need to start creating their own shows and TV channels with no black people. And definitely we shouldn't let them coloured people work in our white businesses. Our kids are growing up thinking size 9inch penis is normal.

    I honestly am interested in people reasoning for wanting a White Entertainment Television channel. What need does it serve?
