I never eally liked BET, and I’m a white person, but I see BET as a negative stereotype for Black people. I like hiphop & R&B music but that’s all mostly I saw when it started. But lately that doesn’t seem to be the problem. Now and then I watch old shows Like Martin, Jamie Foxx and Waynes Brothers that show up but it seems that’s the best. The movies they show are good to but truth be told the Tv shows suck. Hot Ghetto mess honestly should not be shown on BET; I can see it upon the internet, I’m not completely bashing this show but if it wasn’t racist & all most hardcore pornographic I’d say it might have a chance to be on at night. But the nerve of him to say it’s positive, that’s just shady. I only wish there were more positive Tv stations the Black community; I mean make a comedy station or a kids station, do something outside the boundrys of what we seen so far. How come Tyler Perry isn’t making tv shows for BET; I know he started House of pain but mistake me if i’m wrong but I don’t think they show that on BET.

BET buckled under the pressure. I only had a issue with it because I knew that the message would not be given in an intelligent way, it would only be straight entertainment.

Hey remember Cita’s World. That animated bullshit they came up with back in early 2000. I mean that show gave a negative portrayal of the Black Community, mainly because of Cita’s presentation. Remember she was loud, had a opinionated persona, and wore short outfits despite her being a computer image. That show got on my nerves simply because of listening to her. LOL

Does anybody remember like back in the 90s BET wasn’t all that bad. I remember the show Teen Summit ( a positive youth show for teens dealing with real world issues)I think Ananda Lewis hosted the show for a while before going to MTV. Midnight love, top 25 countdown, video soul, lift every voice, hits from the street, Caribbean rhythms with host Rachel etc. Now it’s all about that dollar. The purpose of the channel is long gone now.

BET and any entity aligned with this show is garbage.
Where is the show: “You’re a Credit” ?
In this show you highlight Blacks who are plagued by ghetto antics but have risen above to achieve something for the race.
Everyone- please know the sellout when you see him.

Black People are waaaaaay too sensitive now. You never hear white people complaining about Jackass or anything that makes “white people look bad” I know when I was on the Hot Ghetto Mess website I thought it was funny and horrible at the same time. But you have to remember that the people that are being portrayed are real people! They aren’t some actors acting a ghetto mess they are real people.
