BET is a white-owned station that only caters to the lowest common denominator of(naive teens)African Americans. When BET was Black owned it carried only classy, intelligent shows that anyone would be proud to watch. When MTV/Viamcom bought it early-to-mid-1990’s it’s like they had an agenda. Degrade the network and the people. Against numerous consumer complaints, the (MTV)BET killed off all of their classy, intellectual shows and resorted to only denigrating shows, (violent gangster rap videos, showing pimp characters, all females had to resemble prostitutes or strippers, all shows were anger-based, all males on the show have to look and talk like they’ll murder someone at any given minute. When MTV/Viacom reduced BET to this format, they completely lost their adult audience. Now only young people too naive to understand are feeding on this trash and unfortunately it is shaping them. There are statistic to prove the growth in violence in demographic that nurse on the (new) Viacom-BET. Despite countless pleas to the company, they are forced to stick with the only format that the MTV Corporation (Viacom) will fund.

http://www.enoughisenoughcampaign.com is just one of campaigns aimed at trying to get BET back to a reputable format, like the one when all knew and loved before the MTV/Viacom take-over. BET is NOW only watched by naive, influential young people and giving them the impression that gangsters, pimping and hoochies are how they should act. Parents do their part but kids are more influenced by trends in the media and this white-owned BET (MTV/Viacom) is destroying generations of impressionable young people with its negative images. They flatly refuse to show anything positive, despite the countless petitions and complaints. No other teen network in America would be allowed to force feed a steady diet of such influential trash to their young people. Only BET and the majority of BLACK hate this (new) BET. TH3 TRUTH HAS SPOKEN.
