I have heard from a lot of people that BET has no quality programming and only promotes stereotypes. Having a show called, “American Gangsters,” which shows the lives of major criminals doesn’t help. While the show does show crime doesn’t pay, they still glorify the lifestyle these people lived and I am sure it encourages criminals to excel at their craft. They use to have BET uncut, which was pure trash. It was entertainment for those to young, broke or lazy too go to a strip club. With all that said, I felt people were overreacting and they were no worse then the garbage on MTV. But it seems they have reached a new low, they are now asking people to send in their videos of, “Hot Ghetto Mess.”
I really think a television station can come up with something better to show then, “Hot Ghetto Mess.” What will be shown on this show? Well searching online I found this, not absolutely sure the person is from the show, but it sure sounds like it.
I’m a producer for a new comedy television show airing on the BET network, “Hot Ghetto Mess.” The show is all about wild, sensational, and outrageous clips and culture in the black community with an angle on humor. We are currently licensing original footage and I am seeking footage of black lowriders and their vehicles. The more bling and crazy the better. I am also looking for the super ghetto stuff, like a dude with $10,000 spinners on a Yugo, & funny stuff: cars getting thrashed, super ghetto car girls, crashes, mishaps, etc all about black culture…
This fool has the nerve to say, “all about black culture,” so I guess he thinks the ghetto=black culture. Seems like BET wants to make a fool out of blacks in hopes of high ratings. If CBS had this show people would of called them racist, but having BET airing it is even worse. How about BET show something positive and informative, there are enough kids watching scandalous things in music videos. Its a shame that Blacks have limited outlets on TV, and this is how they choose to utilize it. To the people at BET, wake up, Black people do need to see, “Hot Ghetto Mess,” how about more education and less tacky entertainment.
