What constitutes as the “black experience”? Are you speaking in terms of the modern day experience of black people? This is a genuine question, and I would really appreciate to hear a response from one who is black. Also, is “black” a culture? No really, aren’t there different cultures that make up the black population, just as there are for whites? Or is there also “white culture”? Or “brown culture”? These seem like dangerous over-generalizations that lack the nuance they deserve.

A Nigerian, or Jamaican may have a completely different understanding of culture than black people whose family history ties back to US slavery.

It is weird how we just tend to generalize over all of this because of the color of one's skin.

"this service is BET for the internet."

Wouldn't BET+ be BET for the internet?

And this service is another competitor to it.

>Black people live a different experience than other groups

Black people are certainly entitled to watch whatever content they choose, but they are not unique in their "different lived experiences". "White people" are not some amorphous, homogeneous group.

You are saying that as if all black people have the same identity or something. Since when does the color of ones skin define their culture?

That's not at all what I'm trying to say. I'm merely pushing back on a lot of people in this thread acting like it's somehow offensive or not ok to try to market a streaming platform aimed the African American audience. There are many different cultures in the African Diaspora, and it seems that this service is targeted primarily at American black people. And I really don't see what is wrong with the idea of launching a streaming service to cater to a specific, underserved demographic.
