JACK AND BOBBY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE KENNEDY BROTHERS. THE KENNEDY BROTHERS NAMES WERE ROBERT AND JOHN. THIS SHOW DEALS WITH A PRESIDENT TO COME. NOTHING TO DO WITH THE KENNEDY BROTHERS. PLUS THEIR LAST NAMES ARE McCALLISTER.

My whole point is
-What does race matter as long as the person can act?
-it's the script writer's movie and if he wants an all whatever cast then let him have it. If you want it to change then you write a script that people would want to see made on screen
-And why are you acting like the minorites are the only ones with struggles...like I said DiCaprio had to struggle.

So if you write a story about a family, is it fair to say "Sorry, black person, my story only has white people, so you don't get the job"

No, that's racism.

No it's not...how would it look if the George Lopez show had a white son. It'd probably be like this during a first run...
GEORGE: Mom, we're back from the hospital come and meet Max.
*George's mother walks in and looks at the baby in surprise*
GEORGE'S MOTHER: Dear lord that baby's white!
GEORGE: It's not white. It just looks very white because you're looking at him in the wrong light.
GEORGE'S MOTHER: What is wrong with that big head of yours? That baby is as white as the white rice I use to make when you were little.
GEORGE: But you never...
*George yells cut*
[ooc]GEORGE: Hold up this isn't how I planned my family on looking. Mi familia is brown. Brown not white. What's up with this? [/ooc]
ABC Rep: Well you see...we at abc don't believe you guys are very diverse so we decided to change the actors a little bit...
[ooc]GEORGE: A little bit. A LITTLE BIT. You changed the race of my family to white...[/ooc]
ABC rep: Oh no, not your whole family to white just your son. Wait 'til you see your daughter, she's black. And your wife is Asian.
[ooc]GEORGE: This makes no sense...how does an Asian and a Hispanic make two totally different race children.[/ooc]
ABC rep: Magic, silly. You also have a friend who's an Indain wiccan so that we can reach all kinds of races and beliefs...

So you see. They can't just add races in because they want or because you're unhappy. It has to make sense. And it has to reach out to the public that may be view that channel. Like UPN is pretty much the black channel. And WB is kinda the white channel. And ABC is diverse. Each race has their own problem. How would it look if a black person was talking about the holocaust and how Hitler tried to kill his white Jewish Family? Or how about a white man talking about how his ancestors were taken from Africa to be slaves?

Again, like I said before they choose a specific race to make it accurate.

And about All my Children...ur the one who commented on it and had it all wrong...no need to get prissy.

Yeah, it is segrated, but it's segrated for a reason. To deal with issues that most people of that race can relate to. Like I remember one time on One on One or the Parkers or maybe it was Brandy. The girl nearly got arrested because someone claimed she stole something from the store. When in fact it was the white girl who left at the same time as she. The fact is most of the time. People will keep their eyes on Black people and those who hang around any "thuggish" looking people. This has happened to me. And I related to it because I am black. And 9/10 if you go to the "white" side of town and you arn't dress approriately then um be ready to be followed everywehre you go and rushed out of every store. If they had made Brandy a "white" girl it wouldn't of had the same effect because that rarely happens or people think it does.
