Of course it is. Its a clear example of reverse racism. But then so was B E T. There is still a faction that respects the need for "CATCH UP." The F C C is one of them. TV ONE and others owe their existence to "AFFIRMATIVE ACTION" and the guilty conscious of the barbarian. If it wasn't allowed in an effort to show some kind of balanced, commuicative programming, they'd still be in court trying to get whoever lays claim to being the first Black anything in the television industry.
Now on the other hand, I'm sure that was not the intent of the producers. As the man stated in the article, theres a target audience that TV ONE is trying to reach. Hes correct, the major networks have access to the candidates of their choice, 24/7. I think it is admirable for TV One to step up and broadcast a major programming plum like this. Of course there will be those who'll cry foul, thats always, thats what makes life worth living. They're the same ones who fought so hard to keep "AMOS & ANDY" out of circulation, thus depriving those cast members of any future revenues and contributed to all the cast members dying broke. Strangely these same anonymous folks didn't raise no hell when "THE P J," or "BOONDOCKS" hit the airwaves. Have you seen Boondocks lately. They throw the N word around like its proper and aint nobody stinkin bout that NOW, to my knowledge.
Sure this is a racist move if you're "HARD CORE," but if you're just human, this is only fair, just and right!
btw, whats wrong with SHERYL UNDERWOOD as the comedienne?
