First, I want to know what network I can pitch a TV show to about my regular American black family (blended from Michigan, Chicago, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas) that will allow me to call white people “racist blue-eyed devils,” “demonic descendants of evil slave owners” and “privileged cracka muthafuckas,” to name a few. Maybe A&E will allow it on their network (Oprah is too squeamish for that sort of thing). It can’t be on an all-black network, though. It has to be seen and HEARD.

Second, who are the advertisers for this show and the other shows on A&E? I know Walmart, Sears and Cracker Barrel carry their merchandise and people need to stop shopping at ALL of those, but who buys air time? They need to be added to this list.

Here’s the deal: I fully expected A&E to reinstate the billy goat but not until next season. This quick turnaround means they succumbed to the 250,000 people who signed that petition. Well, since potential market share losses from those people scared them, how would they feel getting hit by a loss in profit margin from all their advertisers? Ads ARE the business in television and if anything will get A&E’s attention, their advertisers will.

The only thing crackas understand is MONEY and POWER. Always BEEN that way. That three-fifths human clause in the Constitution? MONEY and POWER. It had nothing to do with your equalness as a human being. MONEY and POWER. And since white people know that all they have to do is keep people entertained (especially niggas), they will continue to hold the keys to MONEY and POWER.
