(Reuters) - A pair of African American men expect to file a lawsuit against ABC television and the producer of reality dating shows "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" charging racial discrimination, attorneys said on Tuesday.

The class action, to be filed in federal court on Wednesday, is being brought by two residents of Nashville, Tennessee who claim the popular shows intentionally exclude people of color.

Good post!

“Incensed” is strong for a generalization; I should have put in a qualifier, “victim-culture blacks” or “Van Jones and Al Sharpton gangs” or something like that.

That said, when we see the VERY white Occupy gangs (and I do mean gangs) openly announcing that they too want riots in the streets, I really have to think that the 95% of blacks who voted for him last time are more than just unhappy.

“racist” (anti-white) should have been “racist (NOT anti-white). Racist is contemporary usage is code for “anti-white”.

Well played movie still and quote!

Gee, I’m just mortified. I meant Lil Jon.

So I wonder if Shaft here did get on the show, would all his bachelorettes be black?

And if they were, would that be rasis’?

And if they had a token black bachelorette when a white guy is the batch, and if he gave “oprah” the heave-ho after the first round, would that be rasis’? And could she sue him?

And what if Shaft, here, got on the show... and no one but black people tuned in to watch it? Would that be rasis’? And could all the black viewers sue the white viewers for not tuning in?

It's been pretty obvious for a long time that the show discriminates against Natural Red Heads ~ never been one at all ~ never.

There are only 300 million of us to 7 billion of you people. Every 40th gal on that show ought to be carrying some fire eh!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY White country and ONLY into White countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the White race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

If you want to see token black people on TV, watch “Wheel of Fortune” where almost always one of the three contestants is black. On the other hand, Jeopardy almost never has black contestants. Alex Trebek must be a racist.

Yes, they do, but they are still a bunch of black racists.

I am so sick of the racist grievance industry I could . . . . [fill in the blank]

ABC

Always

Baloney and

Crap

The old network’s finances are down so they run these shows that cost them little to produce. They won’t run any family friendly shows because that would be against their dogma. I love it.

You mean these ABC shows:

Scandal

The View

Cougar Town

GCB

Modern Family

Grey's Anatomy

ABC may as well cancel the program.

[ken5050]

Half of all marriages today end in divorce within 4 years..

98% of all Bacherlor/Bachelorette engagements/marriages end within 3 months of the show's finale..

Well, like..duh!!!

[GladesGuru]

A show with conventional views of male/female and marriage is not going to sell in a black viewer audience.

Therefore, ....

End of suit.

[the_daug]

Hope they succeed in their suit. I hate reality tv.

[FlingWingFlyer]

They sound like a couple of whinyass, and probably broke, bachelors to me. This isn’t lawsuit material. Winning a “lawsuit” sure beats having to work for a living.
