Great article confirming also informing those zombies who watch BET that there’s more to black entertainment than what BET is pushing out on a daily. The same is happening in the UK with that farcical MOBO awards, all this is an overseas version of the BET awards a paid holiday for the same (BS) artist who appear each year. When are black people going to stop selling out, thinking that money and stature brings happiness, while suppressing the best material from the masses and holding back good artists. Well done bro i BET… you sleep well at night all the best for the future. PS. If you write the book i hope you know you’ll have to put your armor on!!!!!!!!!

As those before me have already stated, “I am not at all surprised”. This just confirmed to me what I could tell from watching. I stopped watching BET (Black Exploitation Television) 2 years ago.
I was an avid watcher years ago when it was all about Donnie, Sherri, Tavis and Teen Summit, but as times changed and it became true coonery & buffoonery I let it go.
I hope that book is written, it sounds like a best seller!
God Bless.

I just want to encourage you to press forward with writing a book. It’d be nice to have a body of work reflecting an opinion that so many share!

Respectfully, this is very old news about the revelation that BET is such a joke. Thanks to Andreas for his thoughts and future truths to be revealed but BET has been a sad reflection for more years now than I can remember to count. I can only spend about five minutes watching it because then I go into convulsions like that silly dude on Seinfeld’s show who would lose it whenever he saw Mary Hart come on Entertainment Tonight..lol.. Imagine all the negative mind food that’s been fed to so many over the years thanks to our illustrious BET… makes you proud?

Only fools, hopelessly naive folk, those lacking mental competence or those who have been in outer space since the early days of hip hop culture will be surprised by any of this. BET is electronic crack, pushed by the corporate man to undermine genuine and wannabe African Americans capacity to think. Like all narcotics, it achieves this by providing something that initially feels pleasurable to susceptible people, then dulling their senses progressive, inexorably and – the pushers hope – irrevocably. Like all sordid enterprises, BET acquires a veneer of social acceptance and fake responsibility by associating with glamorous people, whose image it plays a large part in creating. Cold turkey is the only cure; like a junkie for whom everything else has been tried, BET should be put in a sanatorium and left to fix itself or die!
