I think I will complain to the BBC about there new Digital Radio Station One Extra (available soon on DAB and SKY) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/about.shtml I find this station racist towards me and the other X Millions white people in the UK as it is specifically Targeted at Black People. It will Play Black Music and feature news and discussions targeted at Black people.

OK, before anyone calls ME racist, I have no problem whether we are White, Black, Yellow or Green. We are all British, English or whatever we are called theses days (Europeans? Americans?) BUT Isn't White music good enough to deserve it's own station? Will they refuse to play Eminem on One Extra? And before anyone's sys we have our own "white" radio stations Name One!


What if I had enough money to set up my own National radio station and I chose to Play Only white Music and broadcast news and information of relevance and targeted towards only White people?

What if my station did the following (which the BBC claims One Extra Will do) "reflect, support and provide a much-needed outlet for the young, WHITE music fan both on the air and on the web now and into the future"???????????

Well for a start I would probably not even be granted a licenses and If I was able to get one, what then? Outrage over a new Racist Radio Station, Protests by Pro Black Organisations, Bad publicity and condemnation by the nations press. Complaints to The Police? Discussions in parliament? My detention under some stupid new law?


Things like this Radio Station really p** me off. We are continually being told we are a multicultural society and we should integrate as live as one nation (which I'm Happy to Do) but then things like this happen.

Why isn't One Extra simply a station targeting fans of Hip-Hop, garage and all that other excuse for music, I could live with that BUT no, they target it, promote it and will broadcast it specifically at Black People.

Why not target the station like Kiss, at people interested in that genre of music, regardless of skin colour. Are White people, Asian people or even green little alien people not good enough to listen to this type of music?
