This seems more misguided than racist. But it isn't new. AOL had AOL Black Touch in 2000/ 2001 (I received acopy in the mail, that's how I know about it . They may have it still, IDK).

I'm the IT guy at my work which caters to the public. I'll put the white people browser on half the public terminals and the black people browser on the other half and see what happens. Well, besides my getting fired I mean.

lol

There are still many racists on both sides I have colored friends and I am white I've met many people who are just that people, and at the same time have met many people who are racist on both sides of the fence.

We are a long way off from killing racism unfortunately.

Personally I believe it will be there until all humanity is one color. Maybe in another 50,000 years?

Too bad really, a lot of good people on both sides of the fence.

Start your own and call it the SnowWHITE Browser, or the AllThingsWhite Browser and get even if his bothers you this much.

There are Black TV channels and Black Magazines and such why not a black browser, I don't see a problem with it and quite rankly I don't think most black Americans want their new and info from "Black Sources". Most black Americans don't like reverend Al or Jessie nor are most of them likely to want this browser.

While I might agree with your idea that some things called WHITE would bring chants of racism from Reverend Al or that crowd and that this seems discriminatory at best. I have to hold to the original intentions of the framers of the Constitution in that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL and are endowed by their Creator with certain Unalienable Rights. I think these people have the Right to start businesses or ventures that they want as long as it don't harm another or violate another's Rights. I would say that a white tv channel can and should be on TV, and all white schools and white magazines (outside the klans versions), and an Asian version of each and a Latino version of each and anyone quite frankly. We do have the freedom of Association and expression of thoughts and the Right to contract and on and on...

Just because if the roles were reversed it may be called racists doesn't mean they would be right and it surely is no reason to refuse others their Rights because you may not get yours equally.

My point is simple, this Country was not founded on COLOR and are Freedoms and Rights are Individual Rights and every Individual should be given those Rights regardless of color and every Individual should stand up for the others Individual Rights lest yours be lost too?

Blackmail, that was awesome! a star for you my friend for making me laugh

But you do make a point. THEY don't see it as racist, but that doesn't mean that it's not offensive to other people though. You do make a point, what if we made a White Entertainment Televeision? (personally, WET, sounds better than BET ) Jesse Jackson would have a field day!

I am tired of the hyppocricy though, it's a "they can have it, but we can't" mentallity and that stinks! Those people would say "Well you have the rest of the channels on the TV" and I ask, since when?????? I mean come on! Not one channel on TV today has the word white on it, nor is it "white" in nature. CMT is focused on Country music, but that doesn't immediately translate to "white's only" I'm sure that there are blacks that like the music. Heck I know mexicans that like country music etc. the same can be said about the rest of the TV channels.

There is not one channel out there that I've seen that is "white focused" only "topic focused" HBO = Movies, Comedy Central = comedy, CMT = Country music, etc. etc. etc. BET is the only channel I've seen that actually tries to make a ridiculous and bold statement, it's the "black channel" which is insulting within itself, not only to whites, but even to the black community when you think about it. The channel is basically trying to claim that "this is what blacks watch" when in reality, I'd like to ask "how do you even know that?" If anything, I think it tries to pigeonhole the black community into one particular stereotype when the reality couldn't be farther from the truth.

For example, I've had 2 black friends in my life that couldn't be farther from the image BET tries to portray (actually, I've had friends of many skin colors, but many of these friendships didn't last because I couldn't stand their "ghetto whannabe" attitude) . One of them loved watching anime cartoons and we'd actually talk about them (especially Gundam G) and another whom I consider to be not only a very close friend, but a mentor, actually likes hard rock/metal and even listens to Guns N' Roses. Despises rap. Their lifestyles and how they dress are completely separate from what Chris Rock or Dave Chappele would say. I mean, how farther from the BET image of "black interest" can you get? and yet BET, Rappers and black comedians try to paint the whole black community with a broad brush on how they behave, when the truth couldn't be far from it.

There was an attempt at a white's only scholarship a while back to counter all the black's only scholarships. It was only worth $250, just enough to cover books for one semester if you were lucky and found them cheap. Needless to say, several groups didn't like it and publicly said so. None of those groups were white. So while technically, there could be White Entertainment Television, Whitey magazine, and possibly even White History Month, there never will be because of the racial backlash. I'm sure I'll be called racist for even mentioning the possibility of any of those.

O how funny that these things seem to be the same everywhere. Some only get to see it happen to other and wonder why you did not see it happening to you.

I was 13 years old when apartheid ended in South Africa so yes I am branded as part of the White Political Government that victimized black people, I mean 13 year olds have that power here

So here is the terms so you can understand them:

You cant get the job because your black = Racist
You cant get the job because your white = Black economic empowerment

You cant play for your provincial school rugby team,your black = Racist
You cant play for your provincial school rugby team,your white = quota system for disadvantaged

If you are black you need 70% to get into medical school
If you are white you need 90% to get into medical school even though you
all finished school at the same time and school, yet there are a great shortage of doctors in the land.

White person does omething racist = 2 months constant news coverage even nobody was hurt.
Black police officer tells white officer in front of witness that white people are dogs and he wil have them all kicked out of the police force while holding a gun to her head = We may mension it once. ( O and let the highjackers get away)

O and so many more politicaly correct terms for stuff potrait as nothing more than inexcuseble racism during the struggle to be recognized.

So replace black with white and you wil indeed get called out as racist, at least here you would and if starts like that not long before you would also be called racist there.
