What really makes me mad is the double standard that exists. There can be a Black Entertainment channel and an Aboriginal Peoples network but can you imagine the outcry if someone made a White Man Channel?
Sort of like the outcry us whities would make if a black person tried to have a voice in governmental affairs in apartheid Africa, or if an aboriginal took offense to some white colony being set up on their land.

I really have no problem at all with this so called 'double standard' in society when it comes to racism. Based on our history of acceptance and accomodation of other races, I don't really think we should be raising to much of a fuss over whatever outcry would result over a 'White Man Channel'...
