Let's just go back to Separate But Equal. That way, the white folks can just firebomb ferguson, but the darkies in their place, and have a hootnanny celebrating upholding the good ol' pure white woman.
Geezuz, is this even really a topic of discussion?

There are other races on blackpeoplemeet besides black people. It's a site that's targeted to black people but anyone can join. Also, it's not the only website that is targeted towards black people. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with a website or tv channel being targeted towards a specific race. Sometimes, people like being able to watch/ socialize with people they can relate to.
Being black myself, I find it refreshing to be able to turn on my tv and watch shows with people that look me and that I can relate to. It bothers me when there are people who want to complain about dumb things like this when there are movies that come that have all white casts and also tv channels that air shows with mostly/all white people. However, when there is a movie that has an all black cast or channel or website targeted towards blacks, complaints start flying.

Just to let you know...I live near a historically Black University. White people, qualify as a minority for admission and for student aid. Surprised? Yeah, they don't advertise it, but it's true.

So, if you suggest that it wouldn't be any more wrong for whites to have something identical to what blacks have, but pointing out it wouldn't be perceived that way...you're racist? Yea that totally makes sense.

You missed my point. My point was made in sarcasm. But again, why is this a target of conversation? There are far other more important talking points than somebody feeling left out there isn't a white dating site.

If white people want to have a dating website targeted towards white people then let them, I don't care. My point is, it's stupid to even make this an issue. If blacks and latinos want to create websites and channels targeted towards them, then let them.
If you have a problem with that then raise money and so you can create a dating site that is targeted towards white people,no one is stopping you.

As far as "white entertainment television", it's called every other channel besides BET.

Actually, I've been on eharmony with a friend and my white friend got a lot of responses from black men.
So that's not quite true.
However, the point you make about the blatant racism of blackpeoplemeet
is quite good
when I saw that my first thought was the same as yours
but the people who would have the nerve to start whitepeoplemeet.com
would be villlified, shunned, and have Jackson and Sharpton sitting on their doorstep broadcasting the home addresses and phone numbers of the owners of the site and the addresses of all of their relatives
and demand looting and rioting around their homes as a symbol of justice.
(this is satire folks- before you pounce on me)
On a serious note: read the book The Giver, it is very short, easy to read and shows what a color blind society would look like
