I'll take you're Challenge, just as soon as they do an HONEST SERIES on "BEING WHITE IN AMERICA! I don't want to hear a bunch of Negroes talking about being Slaves, how Whitey held them back, gave them Drugs and Alcohol. How they go to Prison or get shot for breaking the LAW. I am sick of the whining, ebonics, Affirmative Action and all of the Black Comments we have to sit and digest. The Law was supposed to be Color Blind, yet I can go to Prison for crimes against you and you folks can Kill us and walk, because of the Piled up JURIES! Example, OJ. Get a JOB!!

I planned to watch this waterlover.

I was wondering something similar to hdrider (without all the anger) why is that she didn't do a series about "white in america"?

again, we have the equal but separate problem. these kinds of things are part of what separates all of us.......

i'll bet not.........come on now, either we are equals or we're not.

It really baffles me how ignorant people are and i do not have to mention any names. I will also take the challenge and watch the segment I am always up for challenges. And about all the comments of black people complaining (and other racist comments) its not just black people who complain everyone does including YOU about black people. We as americans are allowed to say what we want and complain about we want even when it happened 400 years ago.. Its your choice to listen.. No one said you had to care or watch it or even listen jus be ignorant all you want. But before you judge the segment watch it first you might learn something and/or figure out its not like u expected. Some people are so closed minded and will be like that forever and I just accept it, like i accept that some people will complain and be bitter about things and be racist etc.. Blacks are just one of the few targeted races in America.... And everything is always about race they are allowed to have a "African American" segment without all the white people getting mad or wondering why there isnt a "caucasion American" segment. If CNN feels a need to make one they will..

misstery;
I think you were born baffled. If I make a factual Comment, that makes ME IGNORANT? Get a Grip! "Blacks are just one of the few targeted races in America". I don't suppose you would put any White People in that remark, just use us for TARGET PRACTICE, since you KNOW everything. I wonder what made me this way, don't you?

misstery, i was agreeing with you until you got to the "black are targeted races" baloney.

what's fair is fair, we are ALL human beings......if we're gonna be equals, then let's be equals.

how about a fairness doctrine for this? give equal time & attention to being "white" in america........or being aisian, etc.

some people just hate the truth. History is history you can't pick and choose what you want to remember. Washington needs to pass law that Black America is mandatory in are children's history books. We are a huge part of history no matter how anyone wants to look at it recognize it. My community upset that it happened and then to be treated as if it didn't.

Wow, I must admit I didn't expect this kind of reply, but I guess when you put something out there on a blog, anything can happen. hdrider- I couldn't tell you why there's not a show about White America. I would love to see a show about white America. I personally believe that this is a good Idea. It shouldn't stop at Black America. I think there should be a show the show the perspectives of not only White America, but also Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, and etc. I believe shows like this would enable to understand and better communicate with one another so that we can live together in harmony. I think we should get some type of protest going to advocate shows that gives equal time to all the races.

lainey, how does your idea mesh with the idea of EQUALITY and transceding racial problems?

water.....i was a little surprised too. thanks for not taking offense to my comments, i was concerned that you would & that was not my intention.

personally, i think we should ALL stop paying so much attention to race, gender, etc.......all the "attention" to these things just continues the divide........

but, that will NEVER happen, guys like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright & Barack Obama are making wayyyyyyyyyy too much money off the racial issues, along with notariety & power........they are addicted to it.

They do have a show/series on white people. It is called Hillbilly history in America on the history channel. Hosted by, Billy Ray Cirrus. It is very educational and hilarious at the same time. It started with Irish coming over to the new Americas As fighters and drinkers looking for a new start and moving into the deep appellations woods around now Kentucky because they were not welcome at all by our countries early settlers due to their drinking and fighting ways. They learned to fight the Indians for they never got along due to the fact they moved onto Indian occupied land. Then, fought our federal government later when they wanted the land the Irish settled on. The Irish won the battles from learning how to fight against the Indians by using what is known today as Guerilla warfare as compared to the old British way of fighting by standing in formation allowing the Irish/Hillbillies to pick them off easily. The Irish started bootlegging with the knowledge they brought with them from Ireland during prohibition years and in the 1970’s switched to the agricultural growth of Marijuana which kept 80% of America well supplied, and today still accounts for 60-70% of all Pot sold in our country today.

good ole irish they have perseveered(spelling?) and have become police, mayors and presidents way before the blacks have in america. and they dont whine how the british supressed them. they brought us bourbon and banjos, and their gangs were there for power and money not street thugs killing each other for nothing. so quit whining about the WHITES causing all your problems and get off your as* get a job pay for your kids and make something for yourselves. and remember obama is half white

There is also a series running on PBS (Channel 25) Called Unforgivable Blackness. It's about the life of The first black heavyweight prize fighter Jack Johnson. huntermorrison - if you dare to watch you will see the truth. If I were to go by what people say about Irish people I would be seriously misled. I personally have several Irish friends, many I might say do not drink, nor do they fit the stereotypical description of the hot tempered drunk. Lastly, now one is whinning about whites causing there problems. I believe your stuck in a time warp. I had to laugh when you made the statement about taking care of our kids. The next time your on the Cuyahoga County website, check out the child support offenders and you'll see whose not taking care of there children. hint The majority aren't black American.

I do agree with misstery to an extent. I do not believe that being black automaticly makes you a target for anything, it's how you carry yourself. For example, a group of young black men posted on a corner looking suspictious, people will assume that they are drug dealers. just the same way you see a white girl on St. Clair and they think she is a crackhead. It's perseption. If you carry yourself with respect, you will get respect no matter what color you are. I am tired of hearing the parents of criminals getting on tv and swearing that their child is innocent and they are angels and whatnot, cause that a bunch of crap, if they were such angels they wouldn't outside runnin the streets all hours of the night, they would be in school, have a job ect....I'm tired of the lazy parents, black and white.
Hdrider, you need to let go of the anger!! cause I'm pretty sure that NEGRO wasn't the word you wanted to use. My daughters are half black and my step-daughters are black. I don't deal with anyone using that word for any reason. Whatever your reason for being a bigot, all I can tell you is FIND GOD! Not all black folks are lazy and don't work, there are as many white people that don't have jobs so talk about them for awhile. If everyone claims that we are all equal, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Your all fired up about a show about being black in america, what about, all the shows that history channel has on about white people and nazi's and crap? I would watch an educational show about black history over a documentary about the nazi's and white supremasits an

jigs.......good point on perception.

my mother always told me: "represent yourself by the way you present yourself"

i don't agree with the use of the "n" word either.....how do you feel about jesse jackson saying it when he was talking trash about Obama?

i disagree about not having the conversation...we all NEED to, repeatedly until the "divide" no longer exists.

as far as the show "black in america" i plan to watch it, but i don't quite understand how THAT furthers the divide in this country. if we are equals........then why is a show about being black in america even being made? why single out "black" in america? this EXCLUDES being anything other than "black"......which, in effect divides. what do YOU think?
