My point is that on shows like Friends and Will & Grace, eventhough they are funny, they don't have any diverse regular bill of actors. It's obvious, you can't name one person on those shows that's regularly on that is not white.

i know were not talking sitcoms, but Law and Order has several EXCELLENT recurring minority characters, the DA on Criminal Intent, Ice T on SVU. also the lawyer on the Practice is a terrific representation of an educated black man, he even is raising his son as a single father.
i dont think TV is THAT against you considering African Americans are really only like 12% of the population. No offense, but whens the last time you watched WET, (white entertainment television)

Hey now, I'm white and I watch BET television sometimes! Or the Trinity Channel with the lady with big hair (her hair extenstions don't match her already fake color) and they're all in big gold chairs or the nun! She gets pretty involved. And, I'm not even Christian. Yippie!
