Why Just Black Entertainment Television (BET)???

  Author:  277  Category:(Discussion) Created:(2/9/2001 11:47:00 PM)

I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on there being a Black Entertainment Television Channel (BET) on Cable. Should there be a White Entertainment Television (WET) too??? What are your thoughts on this?

Date: 2/10/2001 12:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 25699    heck,if sci-fi can have a channel all to itself,then I don't mind the BET/but,I also wondered the same thing when I FIRST heard about the channel.Blonde Cherokee  
Date: 2/10/2001 2:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 17417    There is "WET"...Its ALL the rest of the Channels!!!!...I Remain,In Spirit,  
Date: 2/10/2001 2:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 20878    I gotta agree with linda on this one, how many of the main tv shows currently in the top network spots have any people of color on them?......im having a hard time thinking of any......from what i can tell, theres BET, the channel with the people speaking spanish...and the other 50 or so that are pretty white......Profiler Jack

Date: 2/10/2001 2:08:00 PM  From Authorid: 16705    it really doesn't matter to me, you're going to see the black race everywhere you go and that doesn't bother me at all, the way i am i don't care if you're pink with purple polka dots as long as you don't stick your nose in my business and you show me the respect that i deserve. i wish people would stop judging everyone by their color enough is enough.

Date: 2/10/2001 3:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 9605    I agree with Linda and Steev...The majority of the other channels show primarily white characters and things that appeal most to the White audience....  
Date: 2/12/2001 6:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 25699    #16705 has a good point.I see Cosby, Martin,Fresh Prince,preachers,and many shows with other races...all over the place,any examples from anyone on an ALL WET CHANNEL?Just a question,not a debate,or disagreement...so there is no reason to get "bent" on a curiosity~(sp)~ Blonde Cherokee  
Date: 2/16/2001 12:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 9130    well, you know how things are-- black people have the right to do anything they want-- they were disciminated against a hundred years ago so that gives them an excuse to do whatever they want now.  
Date: 2/16/2001 11:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 177    I really dislike the Idea. Why do we want segregated TV? I say mix & match.  
Date: 3/13/2001 2:10:00 PM    There is white TV - Its all the shows that are not on BET. Knock Knock ...
Date: 3/13/2001 8:08:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    How many people are aware that the show "Friends" is being forced to have a black person make an appearance on the show? But, it's okay to have an all black channel (BET), but not okay to have a show with all white people on it. Hmmmm.....WHat do you think???  
Date: 5/6/2001 6:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 15976    There ARE all white shows.  
Date: 5/6/2001 9:34:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    Yes, there are all white shows, I mentioned one right above you. But, does a channel exist where there is "all" white shows? The answer is no. And I'm quite sure if there was the person who created it would be labeled a racist.  
Date: 7/23/2001 11:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 41104    I think that Bet is wrong. It is a good show but it seperates blacks from whites once again. If people want to be treated equal they shouldn't set themselves so much apart from other races. Having a WET would be thought as a racist show because of the KKK but it wouldn't really be racist just segregated. Its dumb to want equality then seperate yourselfs from you equal man or woman. I think the show is good but the name should be changed, to stop the segregation that is still often used. If the show was renamed poeple would not have a doubt in their head that there is any differnce between races. Kids that see the bet channel are filled with a confusion; the show is telling them that there is a difference between people and that black people should have their own channel and white people should have theirs. I truely beleive that this show should continue to run but not as just a Black Entertainment channel. That is all.
