There's more white people on TV because of the countries enthic makeup. Only 1 in 10 people in the US are of African descent.
Stop race baiting.
You're saying the amount of white people on television is an example of white privilege when its clearly not. There is simply an overwhelming about of Caucasians compared to Americans of African decent and that is reflected in the people you see on television. Americans love seeing blacks on TV and the big screen, did you not notice how well the Black Panther is doing?I don't think you know what race baiting means.

Making race the central reason when isn't. That is race baiting
It seems Brendan was really hitting it off and starting to get big, but do you think that his comments about Black people (we are all afraid of black people) and about the commentary team (pointing out they are all black) basically jeopardized his career? In today's climate, these kinds of things can ruin somene
Soooo, it has nothing to do with blacks only making up 12%of the US population? It HAS to be racist, right? Not simply, simple statistics?Saying shit like that also blatantly ignores that there's more white people on television to begin with because of the countries more racist history.
I know people scoff at the term white privilege, but that is a legitimate example.
Wow! You are completely talking out of your assThe central reason of this discussion was Schaub race baiting - why do you struggle to admit that? Or is race baiting not possible so long as it is criticizing people of color?
Americans NOW are more accepting of people of color on TV, but my point was about status quos and trends of previous generations carrying over into today. Black Panther's success is totally irrelevant because the point was never made that black people CANT do well on TV, it was that they have been given less opportunity to do well on TV.
I think you're lost

It could potentially lose him some deals. It really depends if his fame can out shine his controversy. Tyson's and Kobe's fame managed to bury there rape accusations (and convictions in Tysons case).
Eminem had audio of him saying "black girls are bitches". He was too famous and successful for it to hurt his career.
I don't think you know what race baiting means.
As a refresher, these threads are popping up because Schaub was the one who race baited. Everyone else is just contiuing the conversation.
Kenny here,
I don't think an entertainer/ comedian doing some social commentary is career suicide. He has become an important figure in the MMA world and I think he is going to be around for a long time. A lot of people, myself included, respect his work and find him super entertaining and enlightening on things MMA and some things outside.
My mom does yoga with him and always talking about how much of a smart and good guy he is. They sometimes hang out after yoga so I guess you can say that they are friends. I hope she invites him over for dinner soon so I can hang out with him.
lol. I dunno....
The most entertaining thing Scaub is good at is getting KO'ed. I hope he gets the itch to come out of retirement just for that.

I think you're dodging.
12 in 100 people are of African descent in America. That is reflected in the people you see on TV. But you want to make it about racism.
Race baiting confirmed. You're the flip side of Schaub on the douche racist coin.

How would you react to there being no white representation on BET? Based on your logic, that’s completely, unabashedly racist
Did Schaub commit career sudoku with his racial comments?
