Ya know, I'd like to think I'm a pretty smart gal. I did well in school. It may take maximum 2 explanations for me to get a concept. Names I suck at, but hey, even Superman has Kryptonite. But lately I have been perplexed about several things. Perhaps you can help me.
Why is it every time Kurt Warner gets to the Super Bowl, the team he plays for acts like they don't want him anymore? The man gets no monetary respect. However, one must take into account that he currently plays for Arizona and they are notoriously stupid when it comes to spending money.
Why is it my favorite tv shows have damn near no black people in them? "24" (bad-guy Africans don't count), "Heroes", and "Battlestar Galactica" are ones I speak of specifically. SciFi is known for their reticence to put black people in anything, even when the main character is supposed to be black in the first place. Granted I have lost track of BSG this season, but unless some brand new Cylons were discovered on Planet Ghetto, there were only 2 to start with and one killed herself. People. There were more black people on the original in 1978! It's as if they expended all their "diversity energy" getting more women and asians on the cast and just didn't have any left for the darkies. "Gee, sorry black actors. We're all out of diversity. Maybe next time."
Why do people think that simply getting a "better" quarterback will improve their team without dealing with any other deficiencies on the roster?
Why can't the Sharks beat the Red Wings in Detroit? (Well, at least during the regular season. ) What manner of shark repellent are they spraying around The Joe?
Why can't anyone make a decent tasting meal replacement shake that doesn't have dairy in it?
Who is going to watch the World Baseball Classic? Why must the World Series be played in the dead of winter?
Any ideas?

You are hysterical, lady. I can't help you with the sports stuff, but I might suggest the tv show Bones, which has more than occasional black people on, including recurring characters, main characters, and a few recently as sci-fi/fantasy/comic people, which i really appreciated.
There's this new thing I've heard about, might be worth checking out: "BET". Apparently it's all blacks, all the time.
I don't know if you guys get notified if I comment on your comment, but I have watched "Bones" in the past and enjoyed it. Maybe I should try to get that into regular viewing. And I think BET is right up there in quality with Lifetime.
