All i'm saying is if the "white" man had holidays, TV channels, books, magazines, beauty pagents, and the like named after "White", you'd have a riot on your hands with Al Sharpton leading the way....

[quote="Jedi Marksman":06c1d].....The answer is black people had no outlets in media. Black women were excluded from beauty pagenats for years, blacks were not included in television programming, and when they were it was overtly racist caricature that was disgusting(Amos n' Andy, anyone?). Blacks were exluded from print, which is why magazines like EBONY and JET were started by blacks. FORTUNE magazine ignored the accomplishmnets of black businesses for years, so BLACK ENTERPRISE magazine was founded. All of this is a result of a society which pretended that black people were invisible. Other groups have followed suit, by airing the Latino Channel, and having publications like Hispanic Business, respectively. If America had been more fair and less racist, none of this would have been necessary. I suggest you try picking up a book and researching before making a statement with no credibility or intelligence.[/quote:06c1d]
Can't you see Arkan...? The reason they have their own outlets, magazines etc. Is because they were excluded from white people's things. White people pretended they were invisible. That is why, if you were to have white magazines, etc, you'd be throwing the dirt right in their faces.
