Never understood black women in the Ms. America contest, but no white women in the Ms. Black America contest.
Never understood how there can be a Black Entertainment Television when a White Entertainment Television network would be hounded to death for racial undertones.
As a matter of fact, I've never understood any award (media, music, entertainment) that begins with "Black." What would happen if wd started handing out awards to White Journalists, White Actors, or White Music Artists?
Because we granted them a concession, viz, that they were to be allowed to be racist in order that they could make up for lost time.
But they've made up for lost time. We've paid reparations, in spades. Go into any government agency in the south and you will see predominatly black employees.
I have a friend who moved from California to Tennessee. He worked at Procter and Gamble as a line supervisor. He would try to get his employees, many of whom were black, to do their job. If they did not, he would discipline them. Then they would file charges against him for racism. The charges were so difficult to defend against he simply stopped trying to do his job. So the first chance he got he retired.
I'd say the whole concept has reached a point of diminishing returns. It's time to return to sanity. We're sorry for the injustices of the past. But I've never shot an Indian and I never owned a slave. And I resent people who think that I should pay as if I had done these terrible things.
