I just don't think MTV likes white people

[Batman]

MTV is coming under fire for its plans to air a documentary shaming white people for their privileged position in the U.S. Of course, MTV says it's trying to create a dialogue, or some such corporate marketing bull****, but ... really?
Remember when they used to show videos?

Executives at the network say the show's aim is to challenge 'whiteness' and will help 'address racial bias through honest, judgment-free dialogue'.
Vargas insists the show is not about 'publicly shaming' whites, but is a bid to start constructive conversations between people of different backgrounds.

We want to start a dialogue about how white people suck.

Shut up and stick to exploiting pregnant teenagers.

Wasn't showing Puck stealing Pedro's peanut butter enough to shame whites?

It's fair, BET has been shaming black people for 30 years

Will MTV cover the time period when it refused to air videos of African-American artists?

**** MTV.

Humans of New York could start the same dialogue with a picture and a caption, and do a better job of it.

I havent watched 20 minutes of MTV in 20 years. The ****curse of "reality" teevee has destroyed the channel.

When the Beavis and Butt-head revival a couple years ago fizzled, I clicked it off forever. Get it off my channel lineup.

I think the news here is that MTV is still on the air. Clearly desperate to stay relevant.

Eh, you'd just question every ******* aspect of it, Mr. Lawyer Arguer Guy. (insert emoticon)

MTV is so irrelevant that I couldn't even tell you what channel it is on my cable package.

I just get tired of hearing how privileged I am because, despite growing up in near poverty as a child and suffered borderline abuse, I can watch TV and see someone who looks like me.

I also hate the fact that if say something like this in public, I would be slammed as a racist and have my life destroyed. I hate even more that I'm not using hyperbole when I say that.

This isn't why you're privileged.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Those are examples of white privilege, yes.

I bow in your general direction.

I'm quite sure President Obama's two daughters will have a much easier life than my kids will. So will Jay Z and Beyonce's kids. But mine will always be expected to apologize for their privilege while the others will not.

It's about recognizing it, not apologizing for it.

You ok?

You ok?

Not really, no

Probably the Muslim in the White House fault.
