Not enough integration by far.


Not since the 1950s has American television been so white bread. What happened to the so called melting pot?

Sorry dude, I'm a 'porch monkey' not a Jew, mr. so called man. For whatever reason aryans such as yourself equate the word minority with Blacks. Minorities are not composed solely of a group of people who were kidnapped and brought to this hell hole against their will. There are Native Americans, the only true Americans in this excuse for a toilet, thanks to you Euro trash throw outs, who're glad your sorry asses are gone for damn good. There are the Hispanics and Asians who are all grouped into generic groups for your convenience. New 'Americans' include East Indians, North Africans, Arabs and other Indo-Orientals. Whatever makes you think you're some damn body with your pale faced, pastie freckled ass, and that you own this place - above God, will very soon all come back in your face, my aryan friend.

First, explain to me what exactly a white person is. I lived in Europe on and off for 30 years and I can tell you that a German does not consider his French or Italian neighbor a 'brother'. Its nearly unheard of to see a Scot paired up with a Ukrainian, or even a Brit! Further, most Europeans despise Anglo Americans. Therefore, I'm quite curious as to your definition of white people. Most Blacks are, in fact, of European descent themselves. Even our bone structure resembles whites more than Black Africans. White people will never disappear, as will no other modern race for at least a thousand years or so. If such a thing happens, as it has more or less in Brazil, Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc., what would be the big deal. Less people at the ski resort? Not exactly a tragedy. If you follow the ideas of Darwin, you will ascribe to his prediction that only the strong survive. Why such lack of confidence in the survival of your so called race.

I supposed you never heard of the term straight and to the point. You are playing the roles of the ancient scribe and and Pharisee who sought to confuse the masses with prolonged ambiguous babble. Obviously, you have no real reference point in which to define the white American race. White society indeed owes plenty to all of the groups it has exploited and gained from to become a so called Super Power. If you are not playing on an even playing field there is no point in beginning the game. What you've done in your seemingly endless ramblings is simply justified the institution of racism aka Jim Crow Law that the US was built on and continues to plague us to this day.

Of course, if everyone was European, the world would be a soulless place, indeed. Variety is the spice of life, young man. Who then, would you force to do your dirty work? Further, the outlandish and immature claim has been demonstrated to the contrary over and over in history, with particular regard to the wars involving various European countries and the Americans of the last 200 years alone!. Eastern Europeans are often ostracized and discriminated against by their Western counter parts.

Fast forward. If the white (the person creating the project) director, producer, advertiser, etc., has the right to determine the race of actors they would like to put in their television shows, commercials and film, they are practicing the same separatist actions of their forefathers - the original American racists, but selecting their own to benefit and share in their riches - to put my rebuttal succinctly.

Dear sir,
Media projects such as Ebony, Jet and Essence Magazines, as well as, BET, Telemundo and all its satellite based ethnic networks are in direct response to the disjointed 'Separate buy Equal' concept again instituted by a majority who has zero interest in any of its sub societies. Surprisingly, Black media has gained world wide interest without exaggerated promotion and advertising. Tyler Perry's early plays were in fact, target toward the Black audience, his community. Subculture entertainment, but mainstream culture should include the entire realm. Would you expect to see Heinz 57 American gentiles in a film such as Yentle or Fiddler on a Roof. What you're referring to is subculture media, not mainstream. Mainstream network television, advertising and films are supported by all American races. Therefore, they stake holders have a moral responsibility to be inclusive. You need not side with me. However, I do expect you to make sense. I'm not mad at anyone. If I have a concern I approach the parties I believe at fault. I do have another question for you. What is your definition of American Blacks, and how and why we apparently share the same mind set. The problem with you is that do not understand the principal of imaginary boundaries. At last, give your definition of an American citizen, then tell me what is the more important aspect. Race or Nationality.
