BET seemed all black. Damned if a white wants a job there.

That is more of a racist statement than anything Trent Lott said, IMO.

Haven't you ever watched any targeted cable channel before?

Yes, BET shows a lot of black actors and reporters; they advertise a lot of black-oriented products. If you ever watch the Latino channels (HBOLatino, Univision, Telemundo, et al), most of their commercials showcase speaking in Spanish.

BET is owned by Viacom. According to their website, Viacom's chairman and CEO is Sumner Redstone; the president and COO is Mel Karmazin. You can relax ...

You know, for a person who doesn't like quotas, you sure like to count black and white faces.
