No, it's because the Anglos have done the rest of the races dirty, also, the rest of the races are not on the same playing level when it comes to power, money, and influence in this country.......so in a sense, by having these channels or groups, it is their way of joining together with others that understand their plight.

And once Anglos suffer a similar fate in this country, then by all mean, they should get their own channel too.

In between switching DVD's last night the regular TV was on.

Family Amazing Race was the show.

ALL the families on the show were white except one family. That one, non-white family, was actually called THE BLACK FAMILY! The irony of this seemed to slip past the people who made the show.

mexicans don't own the mexican channel either , most people on telemundo or any other spanish channel are white or try to look white
This is what bothers me most about this site. People posting totally uneducated statements such as this one.

NBC TRIED TO BUY TELEMUNDO A YEAR OR TWO AGO, BUT TELEMUNDO TURNED DOWN THE OFFER.

TELEMUNDO IS OWNED BY A COMPANY WHICH WAS CREATED AND IS OWNED BY A VERY HISPANIC MAN.

DO SOME RESEARCH.

There are elements of "white culture" that are never captured on TV. The type of shows and entertainment being marketed to whites are thought up and produced by upper-class, stereotypical, nerdy ass Joanathon Biggsleworth types.

There are white people, believe it or not, who don't watch "Friends", reality shows, or all the other bullshit they put on TV. There are white people who never watched Home Imporvement, who could give two fucks about "Everybody Loves Raymond", or any of the other processed feces that goes on TV. The white stereotype people are using here is just like saying "Black people don't need CSPAN, all they do is commit crimes and watch bitches shake their ass".

White Dev, you make good points....but these are the same points people of color have been makin for 100's of years in this country, about being stereotyped, and being labeled. Seems like some people are now just gettin a taste of things that have been goin on for a long time.

Regardless of historical efficacy or accuracy, an inaccurate statement is still an inaccurate statement. The goal on this board, in my opinion, is debate and (for some) intellectual advancement.

Saying white culture has nothing to offer to American consumers is true from a certain viewpoint, but I don't believe he had the same perspective as I do.

At face value, what we call "black" culture in the media today has much more to offer to the average consumer, simply because it is more broad-based, more generalized, and often more simplistic. I use quotation marks because what we get as consumer in America is a very stereotyped, de-souled, and unflattering view of black cultural contributions to society.

The same could be said for what is called "white" culture. Laguna Beach, "Friends", whining emo bands, etc. are what advertising execs believe is a broad-based appeal to whites, and also to society in general; or at least the parts of society who are not too distant from "white people" in viewpoint or taste.

Unfortunately, though, both representations fall very flat compared to the range of culutural and social value which lie underpinned in "white" and "black" culture. Valuable contributions will always be subverted because of the status quo, the American corporate epistemology of profitability, and an attack on innovation, creation, and advancement in our society.
