Why do black people get special attention?


Question:
Blacks have their own magazines (Jet, Ebony, Essence, Black Men, African-American Golfers Digest, etc.), television (BET, Black Entertainment Awards, etc.), scholarship funds (United Negro College Fund), employment assistance (Affirmative action). If there were any of these things with the word white or caucasian in them, Al Sharpton would be doing cartwheels down Pennsylvania Avenue. When blacks want to be equal, they will be treated equal.

Answer:
Be careful, you might get a violation notice from Yahoo. Black people are extra sensitive.
You are an idiot and I feel bad that there are people like you alive.
I don't get special attention.
Hispanics, Asians and all kinds of other cultures have their own tv, mags, and programs; so I suggest ou open your eyes to the fact that you live in America, a place that is a melting pot of cultures. As a black woman I am proud of my heritage, and that is why I celebrate it and appriciate it's individuality. If you have Irish or English heritage you might be proud to observe some of the cultures that you come from. There is nothing wrong with having pride. White people come from somewhere too, they just don't have as much pride about it then most minorities I guess. Kinda sad, actually. Enjoy!
Equality comes when we all look at each other equally. Is a white person simply jealous because these things exist for blacks? Is a white person who gets angry about these things simply a racist pig who longs for the days of old (30 years ago) when blacks were not allow to sit at the restaurant counters, use the same bathroom, etc. as whites. Or, is it simply ignorance that would lead a white person to think that the presence of these blacks establishments is racist. Frankly, if a white person doesn't care to understand why these things exist or that there is a real problem in the black community, who cares. These things exist because they are needed to help improve a detrimental situation. Anyone who thinks that the situation with black was not and is not detrimental, has their head in their...rear.
I'm trying to understand what you problem is. Each one of these magazines was started decades ago to give blacks a voice. None this magazines was created with any 'white person's' money. The same thing could be said for UNCF. It was established, by blacks people, to give the opportunity to go to college, something they couldn't do before. AA miss conception!. More white males benefit from this because of the loopholes in it. (Research it!)

BET is owned by Viacom!. Not a black own organization.

All of these things exist because blacks couldn't get into the other established mags. Those mags now have stories about blacks. Should these mags go way now?


If Al Sharpton did do cartwheels who cares. If it so important do what all of these people did.
