B.E.T. Gotdamn Stop Being So Coonish.

[DANGEROUSBLACKMAN]

I Don't Get This Shit This Is February Black History Month So How Come There Aren't Any Documentary Type Shows That Focus On Black Historical Figures Coming On The Network To Educate The Young Folks And Others That Don't Know About Certain Black Important People.

I Gotta Shout Out TV One Cause Atleast They Have Shown Some Old Black Movies And They Showed The Ernest Green Story And That Was A Good Movie.

They Are Quick To Show The American Gangster But Can't Show Important Stuff That's Some Straight Bullshit.

That's Why They Had That Boondocks B.E.T. Episode Banned Cause They Know It Was True And They Didn't Want People To See The Real Story Behind There Coonish Acts.

 

[doggish_098]

maybe they think black history should be celebrated everyday not just one month out of the year. I'm kind of happy that there has been less attention to it. Gives the parents more reasons to sit down with they kids and discuss things instead of letting the tv and internet teach them everything.

 

[mk23666]

Yeah That's A Problem Parents Should Sit Down With Their Kids And Educate Them But Alot Of The Times Parents Are Not Around So They Turn To TV Too Get Educated And I'm Saying By This Being Feb Black History Month B.E.T. Should Be Showing Black History Movies Or Documentaries To Educate The Kids.

It's not gonna happen dawg, just boycott that shit and switch it over to TV One if you have it or BET Jazz or VH1 Soul. It's a wrap for that coon ass network...and I agree they should be at least making an effort to show something educational and insightful towards blacks during this month, cause we all know they don't show that type of material any other month. They just don't give a damn dawg...

 

[Maximumtrini]

Every year somebody asks this question...smh...BET is there to make money from 18 to 32 year olds who don't really give a shit about black history. You can put on all the black history stuff u want, but there's not enough audience for that. The audience would rather see music videos...If black history programming was gonna generate ratings they would air it.

TV execs dont give a shit about black people...They care about the green people on the dollar bills.

 

[I Hate U!!]

People still watch B.E.T.?

i ain't watched that garbage ass channel since they took Video Soul off. i miss that fine ass Sheri Carter,Donnie Simpson was the man. been over 15 years since i watched that garbage ass channel.

BET is owned by the same company that runs MTV and pretty soon they will be one in the same.

 

[jedi517]

I don't think they can help it.

[mk23666]

When BET was run by Black folks it won't that much better with their Black educational programming. It's always been about entertainment not education.

Well They Should Change The Name Then.

 

[Complex]

Well They Should Change The Name Then.

It's Black Entertainment Television, not Black Educational Television

And what educational shows are being shown on TV One? They don't have Sharp Talk on anymore. I see Michael Baisden, New York Undercover, Martin and The PJ's. The most positive shit I see is Roc.

I wondering the same thing

 

[MrLove]

Why are you surprised?
If they haven't done it in the 25+ years the network has been on the air, they especially aren't gonna start now considering BET is now owned by the same Viacom that wouldn't even show videos from black artists (like Prince or Michael Jackson) on MTV when they first started.

They couldn't care less about black history and in fact if you never noticed BET is the least important network with the smallest operating budget on their roster.

Viacom which is owned mostly by Sumner Redstone (over seventy percent of the voting stock of Viacom) was born to Jewish parents Michael and Belle Rothstein in 1923; his family's name was changed from Rothstein to Redstone (the literal translation of the surname from German to English) in 1940, has assets in the form of broadcast networks (CBS and CW), cable television networks (MTV, Nickelodeon, MTV2, Comedy Central, BET, Nick at Nite, Noggin/The N, TV Land, CMT, and Spike TV), pay television (Showtime and The Movie Channel), radio (Infinity Broadcasting, which produced the immensely popular Howard Stern' radio shows) Radio One group, which today is the largest African-American-owned broadcasting corporation, outdoor advertising, motion pictures (Paramount Pictures), and television production (Spelling Entertainment, Paramount Television, and Big Ticket Entertainment), and King World Productions (a syndication unit, which notably syndicates the runaway daytime hit, The Oprah Winfrey Show, as well as Dr. Phil, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy!), among others...
