When blacks did have the opportunity to enforce positive black programming they punked out and backed off.

They punked out and backed off when they were made to understand in no uncertain terms by the powers that be that there's a price to be paid.

Once upon a time in real -time and not very long ago a television network went up for sale and a black man motivated by providing positive black programming for African Americans made an offer to buy the television network. He was told by the network that the price has increased and that he did not have enough money.

Determined to provide positive programming for African Americans the brother gathered together other financially endowed African Americans and eventually raised the money he was short of. He returned to the television network and made the full price offer.

The network flat out refused to sell the station to him. Angered by his persistence the powers that be warned him to leave it alone.

However the brother was hell bent on providing positive black programing for African Americans so instead of leaving it alone the brother went to the news media and made the story public knowledge. Shortly thereafter the brothers one and only son is found shot dead along a highway from a bullet to the head.

The television network that was for sale was Channel Five and the brother that offered to purchase it is Bill Cosby. After adding 2 plus 2 black people backed off and decided for the lack of courage that the price for positive black programming for black people was to high.
