MTV is desperate for attention, be it positive or negative. This is proof. They used to be relevant, now they aren't.

If they want attention, maybe they should....um....try playing Music Videos again?

Well, that's really the crux of the issue, isn't it? That model worked well in the 80s and 90s, but wouldn't fly today, so they're still striving to find themselves. Still waiting for The Buggles to come out with their new hit - "Internet Killed the Video Star"...

White people should be all for laws that benefit minorities.
After all, they're going to be minorities themselves eventually. The laws they pass to help minorities today will be the laws that help them in the future.
I can't wait until I can sit back and collect EBT and have my healthcare all paid for by others....been a long time coming. One day I will get mine....#whitelivesmatter /sarcasm
You forgot about the rioting in the Hamptons and in Hollywood. I can't wait, so many Rolexs to be had. Going to have to send someone into the burning grocery store to clear out all the Fiji Water and Organic greens too.
Ha! Oh my belly hurts. Someone needs to make a spoof show or short movie on "white riots". That may go down as one of the funniest images I have read on ATS. Whole Foods riots.....LOL!!!!!
Oh....I can see it all so clearly. Two white women that know each other from the same "hood" run into each other in a burning Whole Foods and in the mix of looting they get caught up in a conversation....something like "Becky?" What are you doing here? I thought you guys were in Barbados. How's your mother in law doing? Don;t even think about taking that Maldon salt...I will pull your hair out bitch."

You know if took all the races in a pot, and beated and mixed them around and released it into city like a river, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I'm very hopeful about this because I'm thinking this will force white youth to really begin to examine what place, if any, they have in the future of the US. Hopefully, at the end of the process of watching this movie and talking about it with their friends, families and school mates, they'll really start to give their future some deep thought. It would be a big help in that effort if concomitant with this movie, someone in a leadership position, perhaps again....MTV, began to reopen the debate about Reparations, the form they would take, who would pay them and how the repayment would be made. That would be a big help in getting white youth to really start thinking about how much its going to cost them if they stay in the US.
One thing I hope that comes through to the white youth viewers is that, being white, saying "I'm sorry" is never going to be enough. They're white and much more is expected of them in terms of what they owe non-white society. Once that comes through to them, I think they'll finally begin to see how hopelessly difficult a future in the US is going to be for them.
