Cheer keeps you young!High school class of '80 just so everyone knows my age perspective.
stuff white people do: wonder how to define racism
Though I don't know that I agree 100% with everything in it, but it's a good explanation of what some people here are trying to get at.
No ACEDAD, based on what I was told by friends who grew up and were teenagers in Philadelphia during that era, most who are now in their 60's remembered and told me how Mr. Clark was a nice man, but the network refused any Black teenagers on the program and there were absolutely no blacks on American Bandstand, until and after 'Soul Train and when they started losing their audience. When American Bandstand moved to California, that is when they made many major changes in their programming...I get your point, but words mean things. "Anything of color" is not accurate because JJ Jackson was a VJ from the first day. And I'm pretty sure Beat It aired before Thriller.
Also American Bandstand had black people on the show by the early '60's and Soul Train didn't start till the early 70's. I was in elementary school then.
But your overall point is still accurate.

To be honest, I really not that sure about MTV and I am not sure which one of Michael Jackson's song was first shown, but I just know he was the first Black artist's video shown on that channel...
and some people are not sensitive enough. If that makes senceI didn't read most of any of this thread besides the first post and looked at the picture. People are too damn sensitive these days. Thicken up your skin a bit, people. Like i've always said, some people aren't happy unless they're complaining about something.

And an earlier article they quote:

It also addresses with @HeresAThought didn't want to (and shouldn't have to) educate those who ask her to explain.
PBS was so good in the 80s and 90s... did you watch Ghostwriter?Class of baby nursery 86 and the last of the best Saturday morning cartoons generation.
So guys this was a fun thread huh?

80s theme anyone?
I hope you people that were around in the 80s don't get offended by her leg warmers. I was born in 88 so technically I wasn't old enough to remember the 80s so I don't count.
I LOVED ghostwriter!!PBS was so good in the 80s and 90s... did you watch Ghostwriter?
Lol I'm a huge Alex and Tina shipper! But Lenni was my absolute favorite character... her rapping kills me ahaha.I LOVED ghostwriter!!
LOL. I went and looked at the link (and only skimmed admittedly) but honestly my first response to her was going to be "google it"...but then I decided to just leave it alone... in an effort to not have to indoctrinate and not turn this thread into what it became anyway.
All of these moot points. Nobody knows what its like to be anyone else of another minority group....or race....Everyone here are obvious know it alls, so there's nothing left for them to learn, so they just shoot down anyone else's post.
