    It's not that it's urban shows, it's the fact that not enough people watch to justify keeping the channels. It's not about race with this it's about just one color, green. People talking about support this and that but in the end don't watch and be mad that it's gone. SMH.

    Doo doo looks silly makin this about race all he's doing is ? them crackas off & they is just gonna take more of his $

    That ain't ? up. Those white people can broadcast whatever networks on their stations they want to as far as I'm concerned. Only reason people complain about what they do and don't do is because we don't have our own.

    What I get from what u typed is that we as minorities shouldn't have anything broadcast on their network unless we've made a product that's been catered to them? That's what u saying correct?

    It's not about race in the grand scheme of things & it should of never been brought up. The AT&T President got fired and that's resolved, nothing to do with 50's issue. Its Starz as a whole AT&T is not re-uped on, not just urban channels or what have you. 50 made this about race because of an isolated incident when he really shouldn't of, & he looks dumb in the process. If people like the show its not gonna matter if AT&T has Starz or not. Channels don't care like back in the day to a point if a show is "too urban" or whatever as long as the demographic is watching & the ad revenue is good. Like I said, its all about money. 50 just coming out of pocket for no real reason. Guess he really is going broke, lol. Don't catch feeling with that 50 stans.

    Well if it isn't about minorities owning a show & it's an urban product then i don't have any issue with it.. carry on with ur meaningless babbling

    But if it is about starz having too many urban products with minorities as executive producers. I have a big issue with that ?

    Not at all. I'm saying we as minorities wouldn't care about what they broadcast on their network if we owned more of our own. So instead of trying so hard to get on their networks we should focus on building our own. Those people only care about money. If they felt like they could make money broadcasting "urban" networks you think they wouldn't?

    50 Cent had the resources to make some ? shake if he had wanted to but that wasn't his priority. I'm not knocking his business decision but this is one of the consequences that may arise when you go this route. Internet making television all kinds of obsolete anyway.

    What a trash thread. Issue has nothing to do with 50 or race; the negotiations between AT&T and Starz/Encore are for all channels regardless of their demographic focus.

    It's smart for him to reach out to the show's fans to switch to a different provider (if they can), but making it seem racially motivated is stupid as ? .

    50 should be worried about the show airing on a Friday, thats usually death for a tv show...even with dvr and on demand it's not a good look
