There's a reason they call television the "idiot box." Some believe that if you spend too much time watching television, it will negatively affect your ability to think. Let's hope this isn't true, since a recent study from Nielsen is showing that African Americans watch television more than any other group in the country.

According to EURweb, in November 2010, when the data were compiled, African Americans used their TVs an average of 7 hours, 12 minutes each day -- above the U.S. average of 5 hours, 11 minutes. Asians watched TV the least, at just 3 hours, 14 minutes a day on average. African Americans used DVD players and video game consoles more than average, but whites were more likely to use DVRs. Some 40 percent of white families own DVRs, which is higher than average.

This has been the case for many years -- blacks watching more television than any other group. If this is the case, why aren't there more black television shows being produced? Why does it appear that we have more time than other groups to watch television? Perhaps we value television differently than other groups. If so, why? Whatever the case, too much of anything is rarely a good thing.

Ya think??

 

[john blackcorn]

i would like to know how exactly they would collect data on which ethnic group watched the most tv without going into their homes

 

[RoadRage]

Plus we listen to more music, and probably play a higher % of video games. Now if you don't see the correlation between excessive media exposure and failure in life, then your dumb as shit. And for all you assholes who like to mock our situation by sarcastically saying go blame the white man, well until we control our media, I will blame them for poisoning our brains.

 

[christuckerassmokey]

They don't call it a tv program for nothing.

 

[Acur]

The Golf Channel, Current Tv, NBA, NHL AND MLB Channels in HD stay on. I love

Its not that difficult to conduct an accurate scientific study on the TV viewing patterns by the races.

do explain then.

 

[Ceenote]

Eveything bad its always something that the black man does... who does these studies, oh i forgot, THE WHITE MAN!!!

 

[HALO2]

Some how I don't find it hard to believe.

 

[Mr. Met]

They never mention what we watch but anyways why not make that up too?

 

[RoadRage]

do explain then.

They do over the phone questions, sample a large enough % of the population, then you ask questions like what is your race, favorite programs, how many hours you watch and then you cram the numbers, and bingo you have your data. There is nothing new or ground breaking to it, cause its been done for years.

I see it as being true. The kids in my family are focused on homework, soccer, school plays, traveling abroad with their classmates. They don't watch crazy hours like the average inner city kid ie rossini. The average inner city kid needs a lot of work. Some kids can barely read.

?? Don't act like that. You know this is true, it's not hard to understand or figure out. Look at the youth today and the things they watch.

rossini got a tv now??? Oh I forgot one of his cousin's must have given him one when they looted the malls in Louisianna during Katrina.

 

[fatsack1]

Nigga please.How many Black people do you know will waste their time to answer any bullshit phone surveys?????

Most kats will say this study is bullshit. My friends are laughing and agreeing with it. They said "we cannot be defined by the the worst in our community". Thank God for expensive private schools its separates the Have's and the Have nots.

If you throw in a coupon for a 3 piece and a biscuit at Church's chicken you will be surprised.

 

[Cock Head Jones]

they have a program where they pay families $100 per person in the housefold and in return they install equipment on all your tv's and between your computer and router and track your usage.

lil invasive for $100 if you ask me.

[mark115]

im pretty sure whites still have more acces to the internet, [aside from phones]. its probally because of that.

 

[HALO2]

Shit when I was an undergrad and they wanted us to vote for student council or student body (which I never cared for). They used to give us coupons for 6 inch subs at subway if we voted for either candidate.

Every family I know has a computer, laptop with high speed internet at home. I don't know a brotha or sista who doesn't have access to the net.

Oh, I definitely believe this stat. Hell, the OP stay posting videos and I always wonder to myself "how do these niggas have all this time watchin all this bullshit?"

But hey, ultimately this is what YOU choose to do with your lives.

After they read this, they going to stop responding to this thread. The truth hurts like a mother fucker.

You'd be surprised.
Besides if you was to show me the stats on crime, drug use and illiteracy rates, I could tell you just on those numbers who looks at the most TV, they dont call it the idiot box for nothing.

But how many IT geeks do you know that spend any free time they have gaming?

I think it is priorities. When you finish handling your business you can do what the fuck you want to do. Some people watch TV and play games when they should be handling their business.

In my experience, if you head over some white folks (family)household, you may drop by and the television may not be on. However, if I'm in some black folks (family) house, that television stays on. (Mind you, I'm not considering well-to-do, middle income black households.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Nielsen studies are so full of shit. I've never seen or heard of anyone black having a fucking Nielsen box and I doubt anyone black took this dumb ass "study". They're full of shit. Is it coincidence that all black shows are lowly rated due to this funky ass box too?
