Fw: [New post] WET: White Entertainment Television

White Americans s" Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Abagond WET: White Entertainment Television by abagond White Entertainment Television (WET) is the television station that is always watched but never seen. It is the white counterpart to Black Entertainment Television (BET), an American television channel aimed at blacks. "The Flintstones", 1960-1966 "Bewitched", 1964-1972 "Star Trek", 1966-1969 White Americans say stuff like: How come there's a BET but not a White Entertainment Television? How is that fair? You have BET. If we had WET, we'd be racists. This is called being blind to white privilege. Or maybe just being blind. "The Brady Bunch", 1969-1974 "Little House on the Prairie", 1974-1983 It is called being so used to how society favours whites that you do not even notice it and think of it as "normal" and "fair". "Wheel of Fortune", 1975-present "Cheers", 1982-1993 So fair that any change from it, like BET, Black History Month or affirmative action, is seen as unfair and reverse racist. "The Simpsons", 1989-present Peggy McIntosh, in her famous essay on white privilege, listed the WET thing as #6: 6. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented. "Seinfeld", 1989-1998 On American television: Blacks have BET, TV One and few others. Whites have ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Fox, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Lifetime, HBO, Showtime, TNT, TBS, National Geographic, The History Channel, TV Land, Hallmark, Disney, Food Network, SOAPnet, Playboy, Nickelodeon, Sprout, MTV, VH1, Syfy, GAC, Spike, FX, USA, CMT, Bravo, NFL, TMC, E!, Cartoon Network, Cinemax and on and on and on. "Friends", 1994-2004 "Sex and the City", 1998-2004 "How I Met Your Mother", 2005-present "The Big Bang Theory", 2007-present "Breaking Bad", 2008-2013 "The Middle", 2009-present American television is whiter than America. If it were a matter of "simple demographics", as many claim, then out of a hundred stations (most people get way more), 12 would be black, more or less, 16 Latino, 5 Asian and 1 Native. It is nowhere near that. BET is, in effect, a crappy UHF station for blacks, for those old enough to remember UHF (channels above 13 in the days before cable, which mainly showed reruns and old movies). Crappy because it does not currently even have news shows or children shows, much less cooking shows, game shows, travel shows and so on. There is no black CNN (news), black PBS (education and culture) or black HBO (serious drama). BET is even white-owned! White American television is white in three ways: It is by and for white people. Blacks are, at best, an afterthought. That is why black characters tend to be few, have short life expectancies and lack love lives. They are not the "target demographic". It stereotypes blacks and other people of colour. Worse than lack of representation is misrepresentation. American television pictures blacks as self-destructive, dirty, lazy, unintelligent, criminal, violent and ugly. We know that by asking people in the Taiwanese countryside, where knowledge of Black Americans comes mainly from American television shows. Even BET has been guilty of stereotyping blacks. It is so white that issues of race rarely come up. As if White Americans live in Sweden or the Middle Ages or something. The first one is pretty much innocent, but the other two push racism: internalized racism in blacks and externalized racism in the everyone else, even in people in Taiwan.
