[color="DarkRed"]Of course, there are MORE than enough niggers being born out of wedlock, dropping out of school, residing in our correctional system, and requiring cradle-to-grave subsidization. I guess the NAACP is focusing on those niggers who are "the least among us".

NAACP Lashes Out At TV's Whiteout....

Here is a news flash: There are virtually no black "faces" on prime time network television. "Girlfriends" was one of the last long-running black show on TV when it vanished suddenly from the airwaves.

Quick, try this, name a "black" show that is not currently on the CW on Friday night (meaning 'Everybody Hates Chris,' 'The Game'), which is I might add is a virtual death sentence for any TV show. I bet you can't.

Well now, the new NAACP president is going to do something about it in a new report called, "Out of Focus, Out of Sync-Take 4"

"At a time when the country is excited about the election of the first African American president in U.S. history," said Benjamin Todd Jealous, who was appointed in May to head the civil rights organization, "it is unthinkable that minorities would be so grossly underrepresented on broadcast television."

Currently, there are only three shows on prime time network television that have minorities in the leading roles: 'CSI,' 'The Unit,' and 'Ugly Betty.'

Jealous has promised to "bring the hammer down" on those who individuals who don't bring about diversity, including political sanctions.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that diversity will improve on television considering the batch of new shows for the Fall 2008 season have all pretty much flopped. They also did not feature many people of color. Additionally, NBC is going to go to a two-hour prime time format next fall, limiting the number of shows available.

Take solace though: ' The Cleveland Show' is an animated black series from the producers of 'Family Guy' coming on Fox in January. However, I wonder if the politically-incorrect humor will sit well with black folks.

Until we finance our own programming in prime time or get more black execs at studios, I don't see this trend changing anytime soon.
