People say this to me all the time.
“If there was a white sports online, you would say that is racist!!!!”
Well of course I would because the majority of sports media is old white males (about 90%). The reason for things like BET, Black History Month, Affirmative Action, The Rooney Rule, HBCUs and similar organizations is pretty simple.
As a race we have been excluded and held down for so long, we had not choice but to start our own to be recognized.
If we were treated fairly from the beginning, we wouldn’t have to do this. If 10 years ago there was ANY online properties that were helping black journalists I wouldn’t have had to go this route.
In fairness to Dash, I understand the premise of what she is saying, because in an ideal world if everything was equal we wouldn’t NEED to separate.
But, this isn’t an ideal world and the white majority are still is doing their best to hold down black people be it the Oscars or anything else.
Dash should be smarter than this, but she is making her money know by essentially being Skip Bayless of Fox News.
