(Reuters) - A pair of African American men expect to file a lawsuit against ABC television and the producer of reality dating shows "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" charging racial discrimination, attorneys said on Tuesday.

The class action, to be filed in federal court on Wednesday, is being brought by two residents of Nashville, Tennessee who claim the popular shows intentionally exclude people of color.

With all of those ding bats begging to ‘’give it away’’ or just brain dead, I think anyone with any intelligence would rather pass on being a contestant.
The truth is that ABC and the rest of the alphabets are scared stiff of having a white guy be interested with a black gal. Now so much with the reverse, but the thought of having a black gal with a white man is purely racial

I’m sure Tyler Perry is being concurrently served with a similar suit.

As the clock runs out on Obama’s presidency with no indication that he will do anything substantial, meaningful, or even useful, the blacks are becoming more and more incensed that there will be none of the hope and change they were promised.

I’ll say it again: the race riots this summer are going to be absolutely amazing. It’s starting to look like it’s inevitable, regardless of whatever happens with George Zimmerman.

Blacks should sue every other station except BET.

FYI most blacks that I know don’t watch that joke of a station called BET either.

I don’t know why Anybody would want to be associated with this show.

ABC
Always
Baloney and
Crap

The old network’s finances are down so they run these shows that cost them little to produce. They won’t run any family friendly shows because that would be against their dogma. I love it.

Great scam.Some lawyer's gonna make a *fortune* on this one.About 20% of the nation's population is black,less than 20% of contestants have been black...racism is the only plausible explanation.

“the blacks are becoming more and more incensed that there will be none of the hope and change they were promised.”

please for the love of God stop generalizing. I realize I’m one of like 7 black people that didn’t vote for the guy but stop it. More and more black people are seeing your point of view so don’t ruin it. I’ve been convincing them Obama’s an idiot....no worries :)

If something doesn’t change in the zeitgeist of this country, where being “racist” (anti-white) is the sum of all evil, I can foresee the day-and soon-where people will be sued for “discrimination” because they choose not to date or marry those of another race. Who ever believed the loss of freedom of association was all about being able to get a job? Only white communities are forced to “diversify”, never so-called “minorities”. Will this policy change when whites ARE the minority, or will whites then have the rights of freedom of association that the present minorities have, based on our having a threatened culture (ie, having values which produced the Detroit of the forties and fifties rather than that of the seventies and beyond)?

Why don’t you run your own show on your Black Entertainment Channel, racists?

BTW, how many whites you got on BET? How many white-hispanics? How many asians?

Perhaps it’s time BET be sued for Racism. And the NAAACP, and the black congressional caucus, and the New Black Panthers. Shall I name more black racists?

I thought they already had a ‘Bachelor’ show called the ‘Flava of Love’. What are they so upset about??

If I were a member of a minority, excluded from that TRASH programming, I’d send the the network a letter of thanks, rather than a lawsuit.
