It's never going to happen unless we as a people come together and voice our disgust at the lack of representation on TV. I can't see that happening for the simple fact we live in our own comfort zones, Black people (especially nowadays) don't believe in demonstration or standing up for their rights for anything. It's OK when 'other people' speak on our behalf and that is the reason why everybody takes liberty with Black people!

As a matter of interest have YOU ever voiced your concerns to any of the broadcasting companies, or anyfeedback arena which deals with viewer comments?

In fact doyou know anything about the work of 'Black People' organisations and groups who work tireless in lobbying to get something done about 'black (mis)representation on TV not to mention a range of other issues relevant to the black community?

It's ok to get on your soap box and pontificate about what it is 'Black People are doing or not doing'. But if as a black person yourself do you ever ask "What am I doing?" or "What can I do?"

Lamenting the woeful state of 'Black people's inaction' may make it seem one has really got their finger on the pulse as to what is wrong with the community, it may even give one a sense of 'being proactive', but it all goes a bit flat when it is no more than rhetoric sprouted from the safety of one's own 'comfort zone'.

There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!
