No. A lot of black talent, yes, because it's what the people want to see.

Form a program that shows blacks in a proportional rate?
Let's see, according to the CIA Factbook, blacks make 12.9% of the United States population. That's still not that much is it? Add that to the fact that most blacks live in neighborhoods that are mostly made up of 'blacks only', it kind of does make sense. You wake up everyday, and you only see black people, and there is no reflection of what you experience on television.
And I think even there BET, is nothing but pure garbage, because it is nothing more than a Black MTV, aimed at kids, and accomplishes nothing.
