P. Miller the rapper formally known as Master P. is starting a cable network called Better Black Television. A cable network that will feature “appropriate” black television series, news, music videos, etc.

First of all, LOL.

Secondly, remember the Cosby Show and how he was a Doctor and the wife was a Lawyer and how that felt preposterously ridiculous? It certainly did for me. And I don’t know why, why can’t black people have careers? Moreover, whenever I see black kids on that show Super Sweet Sixteen I always think, WTF COULD THEIR PARENTS POSSIBLY BE DOING FOR A LIVING? Are these the kids of rappers?

How ig’nant of me.

Of course black people can be successful and have successful careers, I am sure many of you know some! Probably just one! I dunno…

I guess the problem I have with these shows that are “black appropriate” and try to represent blacks in a more positive light are always so forced. The “good” blacks are either always completely white-washed or tragic ghetto heroes that you’re supposed to feel sympathetic for even though they are assholes, but they are assholes by circumstance so it’s not their fault.

Let’s face it, we have to acknowledge that different cultures are different and will be susceptible to different things. That is fine, blacks will respond different to the things hispanics respond to and to the things whites respond to and so on. But creating a separate network does not feel proactive.

Creating a separate network, once again just feels separate. The only way to be integrated into society the way that you are, is to be integrated. If you want blacks to be portrayed more positively and market to them as well, then have more black shows on more channels. Not say, this is what *we’re* doing and it is for *us*.

And even if that is not the intention that is certainly how it will come off, at least it will to a lot of people.

On top of that, with how progressive we have become do we really need a separate channel now? Of course people are still racist, a black network will not change this, death, inbreeding and retardation will eventually solve that.

I mean, no one really cares that you’re black now, it’s a much bigger deal to be gay or worse Mexican or worse both!

But perhaps, the intention of Mister P. is not to promote diversity, maybe he knows that a big part of brown culture is fucked and needs to be exposed to something other than rappers and grillz. Which isn’t a bad thing.

However, motherfuck if I see another show with an all black cast and a wacky white nigga or vise versa I am going to scream. Why can’t we ever get our niggas to crackers ratio right?!
