@1 I AGREE

We already knew BET was very ignorant I mean take a look at their T.V. Shows you can tell by that. BET is a channel I do not watch and I am a African American. But one thing I’ve learned you can’t help your own color (BECAUSE HALF OF THE TIMES THEY THE ONES WHO DO YOU IN YOUR OWN COLOR) some people__(AFRICAN AMERICANS) claim they watch BET just because it’s a black owned company or whatever but I don’t look at that I look at what Channels have to offer and BET don’t offer anything but ignoracy and stupidiness and who have time to sit and watch shows that don’t even make sense sometimes I would tune in to some of their shows just too get a oomplete good laugh lol lol lol. I gave up on BET a long time ago and it was official after the last BET Awards after I saw how they was so tasteless I mean I was so not satisified at that BET Award show how they was giving the LifeTime Achievement Award to a group who received one a few years back, How they was making fun of Michael Jackson knowing the man is already dead and knowing some of his family and friends was out there in the audience that didn’t mean anything to any of them especially Jaime Foxx how he acknowledge publically on the show that Michael had 3 different kind of noses I mean I been gave up on BET I no longer watch that shit and loosing AJ and Free was the worst thing BET could have ever done because the two ignorant people they have now on 106 is so shameful and stupid.I said long ago BET should be canceled OR either BET needs to be cleaned up, the employees they have behind the scene and in front of the scene need to be discontinue and they need new people LIKE FOR REAL FOR REAL AND THAT SPICK ROCSI DON’T NOBODY LIKE HER WHAT IS SHE EVEN DOING ON BET SHE NEED TO BE ON THE LATINO CHANNEL BET HOSTS LIKE DANELLA AND ALISHA RENEE BET DON’T EVEN GIVE THEIR OWN COLORED NEW TALENT A CHANCE AT 106 & PARK THOSE TWO LADIES DANELLA AND ALISHA RENEE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE T.V. PERSONALITY TALENT BUT THAT ROCSI HER EARS SO BIG SHE’S LOOKING LIKE DUMBO SHE’S LOOKING LIKE SHE BELIEVE SHE CAN FLY I MEAN COME ON SHE GOT TO GO. HALF OF THE BET EMPLOYEES ON CAMERA AND OFF THE CAMERA GOTS TO GO AND I’M JUST KEEPING IT 100

BET in the big picture is an “entertainment” Network.

Bob Johnson sold BET to Viacom for profit and his not looked back since. I know his daughter was not watching BET when he owned it.

Bob Johnson said he “NEVER wanted to he the Vanguard of Black Culture.”
And you know what? I believe him because BET when he sold it was not much better than it is today and that was never in his job description (making PC programs for Black people). He is a business man. And exploitation is exportation not matter what color the person is. It’s just business.
Remember some Africans sold others into slavery same thing here with BET.

You people are very naive if you think this is not about MONEY. BET and Hollywood sell to you these images and it’s interesting to note that these one dimensional stereotypes have not changed over the years.

Have you ever noticed the types of movies that always play on BET? Baby Boy, Soul Plane, Menace II Society…etc. It’s a joke and who are the biggest musical Stars???…. Soulja Boy, Lil Wayne, Monique, etc…..See a Trend people.

You don’t see Jill Scott, Maxwell ,Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye or Nina Simmone on constant replay on BET because stereotypes SELL. And just read some of the comments on CL any day real issues pop up like Domestic Abuse and you will see what the REAL problems are. It’s not BET people it’s a mentality and as long as people watch and behave like Frankie, Toya, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and the College Hill cast BET will keep showing it.

When we wake up, turn the TV off, and come together as a community and empower ourselves and demand better values reflected (and projected) in the things we watch (and how we live) things will never CHANGE.

And excuse me if I dismiss Andreas Hale because he is no martyr for conscience thought he was happy and content working for BET until he was FIRED. Trust that “letter” is more about him than his concerns about BET. Trust.

The actual power is within the viewers who empower others to define YOUR tastes and images you are willing to accept as entertaining. So don’t cry about Debra Lee if you make Toya and Tina debut to high numbers…no blame yourselves.
And stop worrying about TV shows and do something with your lives.

I knew B.E.T was bullshit from the jump. That little executive whoever she is whack too…the little light skin chick. BET is always five days late on news…and is on sided. I stop going to the website and it gives me even more reasons not to even bother going to the site. Coonery at its best…look at Keyshia Cole. You saw the good and the bad in that show. But instead of keeping Keyshia Cole they have the bullshit that is Frankie and Neffie. The same with Tiny and Toya. Who can really learn from these chicks. One is a washed up groupie who got pregnant, the other isn’t even married but has all these damn kids. I mean what goals are they accomplishing. That is nothing but bullshit. They have yet to have a good reality show that actually serves a purpose. Its crap all around.

I don’t even watch BET. Haven’t done so in years. It just started getting too wack for me.

To all the folks on here getting their short in a bunch over this disgruntled former employee’s letter, either have never worked for a company or complete idiots. The whole time I am reading the letter I am saying to myself, “Ok, typical job.” Can someone tell me how is BET different from any other organization? Everything that is outlined in that letter is what goes on in jobs every day. I am not a corporation apologist by any means but everyone believes he or she is overworked and underpaid. I worked at hedge funds my whole life, made six figure salaries with 40 to 50 percent bonuses every year (except last year) and I still believe I am underpaid for work and hours I put in. Frankly, if you compared the hours I work against my salary, I am barely exceeding minimum wage. The fact of the matter is the only way one can ever be satisfied with their job is if they work for themselves.

So my advice to this fellow is start your own business and implement your innovative ideas and compete against BET.

BET is absolute GARBAGE ie: “The Franky and Neffe Show”
TV One is cool but BET needs some real heavy competition. The only way another network will ever be able to directly and successfully compete with BET is to aggressively go after their young high school and college aged audience. Thats the market that keeps BET running. A competely tweaked and totally upgraded version of MTV, complete with high quality original programming, brand new hot talent, and a wider selection of music targeted towards white and minority youths is the ONLY answer to BET. Unless we all stop tuning and demand that they change on their own.

TV One is a great channel!

—-I don’t understand the point of this letter. It must be for attention, because it
—-cannot possibly be that he hopes that the operation of the Machine will change.
—-It’s a very sobering thing for many of these black idealists when they finally get
—-slapped in the face with the truth on how this society and it’s various aspects are
—-actually run, lol.

…….@# 8, well said, well said. I was thinking the exact same thing.

…….@# 13, you are soOo right & on point. That’s a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

……I was actually thinking about Aaron Mcruder as I was reading the letter 2 (lol).

Judah is back!!

Judah I’m sure you think BET rules the world but this is really about business protocol.

You have to give and take if you want to effect change or get people to accept your way of thinking. I think this is a simple case of Andreas Hale not going about it in the right way. He also seemed to be more status quo than he may want to admit. This really sounds like Sour Grapes. BET is about Money and Andreas Hale more than understood that. And that is why Tyler Perry is making money he meets a need and he found a market. I sure don’t like his movies but there is clearly an audience that does.

This does not suggest that we should be defeatist. There are other ways to bring about change but maybe working in BET.COM is not the way to change things because again the dot reflects the Station and the Station is where the Change has to come. And as a Music Editor what changes did he really think he was going to bring? Lil Wayne is big in the Station and he will be big on the Blog same with Soulja Boy…LOL

I just find Andreas Hale a bit pedestrian, comical and self absorbed. Kinda like you Judah…LOL

WOW hats off to him

Let’s make some noise. Follow @WeNeedRealBET and let the televsion exec’s know how you really feel about the network.

Not surprising,however,i have a very strong feeling the whole management of the BET is even worse then what he talks about. His just to classy to say it all.

#38 said “but no one has morals anymore. everything is right and ok”

that is so true…BET sucks I hardly watch it and when i do catch it something stupid is on…PLEASE someone tell them to canel Tiny and Toya…God,Tiny is probably the most hideous female on tv right now…I can’t understand a damn word she’s saying..and really…Xscape was like 10 years ago….T.I. is in jail….no one wants to see her!Does anyone reall watch 106 & Park anymore?Like everyone’s been saying it just ain’t the same without AJ and Free they were just so much more down to earth and real..Roxy look like C.Mili,prolly screwin somebody for that position..and honestly Terrene…he’s a big goofball…the picture quality,even on a HD tv is completely shitty… I don’t know…call me a hater or whatever but BET,every show…is just outright ridiculous.When will they take BET off the air completely?

LOL it’s so sad EVERY OTHER SHOW they use LAPEL mikes for the hosts and guests so they don’t have to hold big ass microhpones like the ones you buy at wal-mart for kareoke….BUT 106&PARK DOESNT GET THAT!

He just basically confirmed what I already believed and knew to be going on at BET.. Sad to say, I haven’t watched BET since the so-called Michael Jackson Tribute/BET Awards.. No disrepect to the people working for the network, get that paper and make that paper! At the same time, stand up for what you believe and feel is right rather than sitting back allowing the bull slide through the cracks!

i knew it!!! bull-ish tv, and not just BET.

@ Young Money:

You seem to know a lot. I worked there. Andreas is telling the absolute truth and anyone who is working there or has worked there would echo him or more, if they weren’t afraid for their own jobs. Trust. In fact, there is much more going on in there than that…and one day, all that bullshit will come out and make Andreas’ story look like nothing.

Man I couldn’t agree more with this guy, BET has sold their soul to devil and there is no chance for repent. I have also experienced their poor work first-hand being a member of a season of College Hill I have watched BET virtually ruin young African-American lives with the promise of oppurtunities which never happen, once they have used you for all they can that’s it you are no longer of any importance to their company. Luckily I had the forsight to place myself in a position to avoid me having to relay on them, however many others were not so lucky as much as it hurts me to say I have a strong feeling that Black Entertainment Television is not in the best interest of Black people at all, any youth looking to break in you are much into the industry you are much better going with MTV.

I don’t care when this letter came..it’s still true.

Please you tube THE CONFESSIONS OF A BET PRODUCER he just like Andreas worked at the Washington branch until they moved to New York he reveals that Stephen Hill and a women who he would not name hate hip hop and rappers ,he hated the fact that they would promote women as ho ’s ,how BET buffoonery,entertainment trickery has a whole influence on what is going to be in fashion next year from clothes to cars meetings are set up with white folks before each episode of 106 is aired he also claimed this same women hated black people

@karma i believe you i soooooo believe you..also though whats up with the black celebs dont they care about the reprensentaion of what they do? Say something yawl say something about everything else!!! Hell all of P. Diddy shows is on MTV (starmaker, making his band, run’s house, daddy’s girl, ETC… why is that i wonder i really wonder? Probaly like karma said something is not right on the homefront…..

@monica i will check it out….

@Young Funny

You missed me? I know you did. Let me help you understand something. BET is a corporation. It is itself run by a parent corporation, which is in turn run by an umbrella entity, so on and so forth. I do not think that BET runs the world, nor are you mentally capable of quantifying what I think, because this issue is not about BET, it is about the Machine. Idealists are emotionally driven, and therefore do not and cannot understand anything because they cannot comprehend the basic dynamics of how this society is run. BET is a front organization of the division of the machine that presides over control of the people through the establishment of pop culture. It’s just a leg on the centipede. The black woman that runs BET controls nothing. She is a figurehead to promote black female superiority for idiots like yourself to lap up like a thirsty mutt, lol. Simpletons like this man that get frustrated that they cannot “change the world with love” don’t deserve the attention that he lusts after.

well instead of talking bout how bad BET is…someone (with money, zeal and determination) should take the initiative to create a new network with enriching content catered for us black people… or… simply channel cruise on by BET.

Its sad, but thats the truth in the corporate world, money over quality and innovation.

Thats every company…. Welcome to Corporate America!

I will never support BET its not even black owned. BET is owned by Viacom and

that Black Women Debra Lee is placed there for a front to make us believe that

blacks are still in charge. Remember when they had uncut videos showing the most

derogatory and explicit stuff? Truly Disgusting.

This man said nothing new BET is comical and is there to warp your minds. It

shows hoodrat Reality TV shows and reruns all day.

I have BET and I don’t turn it on the channel I cannot stomach it,

it shows nothing positive or life changing. Actually it shows Black Americans in the

worst light.

Thanks J. Dakar Come on people open up the book (Bible) and read about what is going on! It is time to read and pay attention!

@ Judah

I agree with you! Now look at that. Miracles do happen.
This is much larger than BET and I have said that a few times in multiple posts.
I’m also unimpressed with Debra Lee. And yes she is a symbolic puppet. My wish is that more people understand that this is well beyond what BET shows and more of a statement on the deficiencies in Black Culture. People assume when they see BET that they must support it or accept the pathetic “idols” and “values” that are promoted by this station.

I hope more people wake up to what is really going on and empower themselves and stop being so bamboozled. Judah you should also try and be more helpful and less insulting. You may comprehend things and be aware of situations or themes but you should also use that awareness more constructively rather than attempting to cut down people who may not understand or agree with your point of view. Just a suggestion. And you really have a problem with women and I just don’t get that.

BET is a mess anyway. Good luck man!

Master P….where is the BBTV (Better Black Television)? We need an alternative change in programming. Let me rephrase, We need an alternative POSITIVE change in programming minus Debra Leevil.

Don’t know this guy but he comes across as a self-absorbed idiot.
You went to BET for the money so cut the crap and stop tryna make yourself into a martyr.

bet haven’t been the same . after debra lee taken over

fukk WET!

SMFH

Damn wtf this $hit man, on BET and media MY african-american culture and real black ppl represent are mixing and biracial ppl, where real black people? I am so sick of the racist/Jew$ $hit!

To this Jew to which belongs BET need to go back to White/Jew community cuz he’s do not know $hit about black ppl!

[...] at Concreteloop.com AKPC_IDS += “7737,”; Andreas Hale, [...]

Judah, this time you’re a little off intellectually. Viacom is the parent and the entity of BET foremost. It spun off from CBS and created an entirely new corporation owned by another gorup of shareholders. NOW! Idealista are not unaware of the machine and understand it completely. Their thoughts are not emotionally driven, they are very much politically driven as the machine–liberals vs conservatives as one example, another grassroots vs government. They compete with the machine as an opposing view. Your last message on the other hand was very emotional as you tried to break Young Money and you came off spewing unintelligible babble, Her - Maphrodite! Lets see your sense of humor explode again as you did with the last post and pic of Amber Rose and Kanye. That was some powerful shit. You just let someone use you. Sooo uncharacteristic. . .I digress.

thanks for turing me on to blackworldorder.com i dnt watch bet bc i know better. boycott dat shit. watch current tv or wateva else

P.S. Judah. BET is not a front for the machine. The machine never needed a front. It has perpetuated its nonsense and continues, before BET and now after. BET had a target audience that made it money and VIABLECOM came and conquered–or should I say coughed up billions because it was an available, sound investment and basically motor mouth (Bill Cosby) couldn’t afford it. . .LOL! That was a joke! as I grow deeper into digression. . .Besides, what is this reliance on BET. Viacom also owns MTV that makes white guys act digusting, white girls act like whores (thats been going on forever in soaps), and overall depict whites as drug addicts and alcholics. Now all we have left are these emotional idealists building organizations to change policies that will help build alternative media. Those damned hippies!

VISIT BLACKWORLDORDER.COM…. THEY SPEAK THE TRUTH.

YES MTV HAD WHORES AND B.S. ALL OVER THEIR CHANNEL, BUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BET AND MTV IS THAT MTV HAS A BALANCE. BET SHOWS NOTHING BUT SEX. ALL OF THESE YOUNG GIRL ARTISTS FEATURED ON BET SELL SEX. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE UNDERAGE.

CIARA - CAME OUT AT 17 OR 18 TALKING ABOUT HER GOODIES…
RHIANNA - 17 YEARS OLD SHE CAME OUT LOOKIN LIKE A STRIPPER HALF NAKED
BEYONCE- SHE IS A LEGEND AND I LOVE HER, ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED… BUT SHE DANCES AROUND IN A LEOTARD
KERI HILSON - SHE COMES OUT TALKIN ABOUT HOW A GUY IS TURNING HER ON…
ELECTRIK RED- TALKIN ABOUT HOW THEY’RE STUFF IS SO GOOD.

AND ALL OF THESE LADIES CATER TO YOUR KIDS… THERE ARE NO ROLE MODELS FOR YOUNG BLACK GIRLS… AND WHEN THERE IS ONE LIKE ESTELLE, OR JORDIN SPARKS, THEY DONT PROMOTE THEM… DO YALL REALLY THINK BET WILL EVER PLAY A PRICSILLA REANA VIDEO.. OFCOURSE NOT.. SHE NOT SELLING SEX IN A BATHING SUIT SHOWIN HER ASS… THEY’RE NOT GOING TO PROMOTE QUEEN LATIFAH’S ALBUM THATS OUT… BET COMPLETELY SHUNNED QUEEN LATIFAH UNTIL SHE GOT HER OSCAR NOD FOR CHICAGO… NOW THEY’RE ON HER JOCK,,, BUT THEY WONT EVER PUT HER VIDEO ON 106 EVEN THOUGH THEY CONTROL THE COUNTDOWN…. THEY MIGHT PREMIER IT BUT YOU WONT SEE IT AGAIN….

WHERE AS MTV HAS FEMALE ARTIST TO BALANCE IT OUT… SO YEAH ITS OK FOR MTV TO PLAY RHIANNA, OR CIARA LOVE SEX AND MAGIC OR A BRITNEY SPEARS, OR LADY GAGA…. BECAUSE RIGHT AFTER THAT THEY’LL PLAY A TAYLOR SWIFT SONG… OR PINK, OR ADELE, OR ESTELLE OR JORDIN SPARKS…. BET DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO BALANCE OUT ALL OF THE SEX ISH THEY PUT ON….

WITH THE GUYS… OUR KIDS HAVE NO ROLE MODELS EITHER…. EVERYONE IS TALKIN ABOUT SEX…

TREY SONGS- HE’S THE NEW R. KELLY, OVERLY SEXUALIZED
PRETTY RICKY- THEY GRINDIN ON STAGE TO SONGS LIKE TIPSY
JAMIE FOXX- HE HAS 10 YEAR OLDS SINGING BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL
LIL WAYNE- I WISH I COULD F*** EVERY GIRL IN THE WORLD…. PERFECT
EXAMPLE WAS AT THE BET AWARDS WHEN ALL THOSE LITTLE GIRLS CAME OUT ON STAGE SINGING THE SONG WITH HIM…. THAT WAS SOME PEDOPHILE ISH GOIN ON.
TPAIN— MORE ALCOHOL AND SEX TALK
THE DREAM- ALL OF HIS SONGS ARE ABOUT SEX, NEED I SAY MORE
SOULJAH BOY- TAKING NAKED PIX OF HIMSELF WITH A HARD ON

THESE ARE ALL ARTISTS THAT YOUR 12 YEAR OLD IS LISTENING TO, THIS IS WHAT IS ON THEIR IPOD…. SO WHEN YOU FIND OUT YOUR 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS HAVING SEX AND SHE’S POSTING NAKED PIX OF HERSELF ON MYSPACE, ITS NOT ONLY THE PARENTS FAULT ITS ALSO BET’S FAULT… OFCOURSE KIDS WANT TO SEE PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE THEM ON TV, AND THAT THE ONLY CHANNEL WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT….

WHERE AS MTV HAS THE JONAS BROTHERS, NICKELBACK, COLBY ADONIS TO BALANCE THINGS OUT…

SO ITS DIFFERENT WHEN THE ONLY MAINSTREAM BLACK CHANNEL THAT WE HAVE SHOWS NOTHING BUT SEX AND VIOLENCE… ITS DUMBING US DOWN… WHITE PEOLPLE HAVE PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM WHEN IT COMES TO PROGRAMMING. BET IS ONE OF TWO CHANNELS WHERE YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF 24 HOURS A DAY… TVONE IS GETTING THERE, BUT LET BE HONEST, THEIR STILL IN THEIR INFANT STAGE, AND FROM WHAT I HEAR, THE ONLY THING KEEPING THAT CHANNEL ALIVE IS THE MARTIN SHOW RERUNS WHICH IS THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW ON THEIR CHANNEL…. AND IF BOB JOHNSON SIGNS THIS NEW DEAL TO START THIS NEW NETWORK, TVONE WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN…

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT 106 AND PARK IS REAL… THEY DONT COUNT VOTES… STEPHEN HILL DECIDES WHOSE VIDEOS GET PLAYED AND FOR HOW LONG… THINK ABOUT IT…. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR TOMORROW’S SHOW WHEN IT WAS TAPED TODAY… THE SAME 10 VIDEOS ARE REPLAYED EVERYDAY… BRAINWASHING US…. OF COURSE ITS EASY TO SAY CHANGE THE CHANNEL BUT TELL THAT TO A 12 YEAR OLD WHO COMES HOME FROM SCHOOL AT 3:00 AND HIS PARENTS ARE AT WORK AND DONT GET HOME UNTIL 8:00PM… WHAT DO YOU THINK THESE KIDS ARE GOING TO WATCH.. OPRAH???? NO, THEY WANT TO SEE LITTLE WAYNE AND THEY WANT TO DO THE STANKY LEG… THEY THINK IT OK TO BE GHETTO LIKE FRANKIE AND NEFFIE… THEY THINK ITS ALRIGHT TO SPEAK IMPROPER ENGLISH LIKE TINY AND TOYA….

SOME OF THESE SHOWS DO HELP OUT THE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE IN THE SAME SITUATION SO IM NOT DISSING THESE SHOWS. HEY, I WATCH THEM TOO, BUT ATLEAST WHEN BOB JOHNSON WAS THERE, THERE WAS SOMEWHAT OF A BALANCE… BOB JOHNSON WOULD HAVE PLAYED A LEDISI SONG, OR A KARINA PAISON. CAN YOU IMAGINE A YOUNG ERYKAH BADU TRYING TO GET ON TO BET TODAY.. I DONT THINK SO… IF YOU’RE NOT KERI HILSON TALKING ABOUT “YOU KNOW JUST HOW I LIKE IT YOU’RE TURNING ME ON….’ THEN YOU’RE GETTING TURNED AWAY…..

BLACKWORLDORDER.COM … THE TRUTH

also plz watch this video on youtube…. TYPE IN CONFESSIONS OF A BET PRODUCER… HE INTERNED FOR VH1 AND MTV, THEN WAS HIRED BY BET IN 98… HE TALKS ABOUT THE SHADY BEHIND THE SCENES ISH GOING ON AT BET

BET is owned by Viacom now, right? The same company that own other cable channels, and most importantlt, MTV!!! Bob Johnson, I ain’t mad at you for selling what you worked hard to build. There is truly no reason to “FIX” BET when people who really care about how African Americans are portrayed are not at the helm. If Oprah has a channel then why can’t some of our moguls create a channel that can change the game?

Lastly, I have never understood how the BET Awards can honor greats and humanitarians but turn around show booty shaking and vulgar lyrics in the same breath? No other show does that but the BET Awards. *SMH & getting of soap box*

WOW!! This brotha went through somethings and by looking from the outside in, I can totally relate. I can not wait to read his book.

YOU GO BOY! There is NOTHING more attractive than an intelligent, articulate black man! He doesn’t come across as bitter, but informed, and resolute. AWESOME!

dont blame viacom… blame the puppets that work for bet…. Viacom just cares about ratings… and i agree when you say moguls should start their own channels… but what you fail to realize is that they have tried… and its not easy… i remember when Bill Cosby tried to buy CBS…. three jewish banks came together and outbid him for the channel… not because they wanted it, but because they didnt want a black man to own such a big company… when have you ever heard of a bank buying a network… never…. many have tried but all of them fail….

yeah yeah yeah believe me everybody that has been fired will have something bad to say about the firing employer too. Yo know if you had quit six months ago and sent out this email it would be more believable. But honestly yeah we all know what bet is all about,we see it on tv everyday and honestly u know the drill goes money controls the buisness and if showing ass and potraying black people as dumbasses bring in the money then the moneys gots to flow in and honestly mr andreas was part of that for the last year. And how convenient you are now a free agent, i see u are about getting your money too!!!!!!!!!!!. Like i was telling my friend yesterday i m just happy that we have people like president Obama that paint a different picture for us black people.

—–@Young Funny

—–I don’t know if we agree. I think you think we agree, lol. I have an extremely hard
—–time taking you seriously in regards to your stance on the “deficiencies in black
—–culture”, when you were extolling Jay-Z and his new album a few weeks ago like
—–you’re on his payroll. He’s one of the top witches being used in pop culture to
—–bring the masses closer to Satan. So essentially, you’re a hypocrite. Let me also
—–say that instead of you attempting to speak as if you’re “educated”, when you’ve
—–never shown that you’re aware what the word means, you should addressed me
—–in a mannerly fashion. That way I wouldn’t have to make you understand how silly
—–and simple you are representing yourself. From the first comment you’ve ever
—–directed towards me, you attempted to act as if you were going to “put a black
—–man in his place”, lmao. Lastly, let me say, I don’t have a problem with the
—–sisters. The sisters have a problem with order, and when you have a cog that
—–disdains it’s role in the machine, it must be replaced with a newer, better cog. It’s
—–not even about ya’ll, it’s more about the black man gettting the understanding of
—–who he is and what he’s supposed to do.

Some of yall need to STFU becuz when that white broad wrote the Devil wears Prada book it was okay. She wrote it based of her experience working with some hateful broad in the fashion industry. AND matter in fact it turned into a movie. Stop letting jealousy corrupt ur thoughts. Stay focused on the bigger picture. Blacks need to start standing up about what is infiltrated in their communities via the media. Stop worryin about his book for profit and start brainstorming how to stop the bafoonery of the media. It’s okay for a white man to write a tell-all book but yall pot of crabs stay trying to keep somebody from speaking truth. Oh I forgot…”blacks are afraid of books”. U don’t even know if he would give a percentage to charity for black communication/media students, etc. THINK and stop HATIN

It seems like some of ya’ll on here are mad about what he said becuz u don’t want ur favorite BET show to get cancelled. He has a right to voice his opinion. Why should he just hang his head low and walk out the door? If nobody ever stood up/spoke up for stuff our black asses wouldn’t even be on tv or doing half the stuff we are allowed to do in this country today. As soon as someone stand up, yall black asses want to shut them down. U worst than the white man. But then u complain about BET behind the safety of ur computer screens. This shit is not hurting him u dumb assess, it’s hurting u believe it or not. I bet if Obama said that shit u be all onboard. Yeah I said it!

between watching that station reading this article and watching the episode from the Boondocks I think its clear that yes they doo need a make over badly.

What happened to the the days of Video Soul w/Donnie Simpson, Teen Summit, Live in L.A. w/Tanya Hart, Yolanda Gaskin’s show (forgot the name), etc. Those were the good ole days of BET. I haven’t watched BET in decades. It went downhill after the 80’s. I finally broke down and watched the 2009 BET Awards only because of the “supposed” Mijac tribute. Let’s just say after watching that debacle, it only reiterated my need to never watch BET again.

—–@ONE LOVE

—–I never said that BET was a front for the Machine. If you’re going to try to nitpick,
—–at least read my comment properly. I said it is a front FOR THE DIVISION of the
—–machine involved with pop culture. I use that term “Machine” as a metaphor for
—–the process of enacting the doctrines of Satan. I don’t give BET that much credit
—–to be “THE front” for the machine. Let me help you out, because you are trying to
—–come off as deep and intelligent, and you obviously need a lot of help lol.
—–Satan works through perceived options.This is why he presents you with rich vs.
—–poor, conservative vs. liberal, man vs. woman, etc. Liberal movements and
—–organizations are funded by the elite, and their leaders are coached on how to
—–bring the people more in league with the overall goal, i.e. MLK, Gandhi, etc. In
—–philosophical terms, this doctrine is known as the “Hegelian Dialectic”. It’s the
—–same principle that master masons call “equilibrium” or occultists call “as above/
—–so below”. The notion that you treat the simple masses as children and make
—–them think that they have a mind of their own, when they really don’t. This will
—–make them easier to train and pervert.

—–I think you were al little offended by my comment to Young Funny because you’re
—–another deluded black female feminist robot, lol. Instead of some of you black
—–women trying to attack every black man with a brain to show how educated you
—–think you are, why don’t you read and comprehend first. As an example of how
—–fruitlessly argumentative you are, you laid out the same corporate scheme I laid
—–out in regards to BET’s parent organizations, but I guess you had to show you
—–knew something lmao. If we really want to go there, all these companies are
—–owned by Lloyd’s of London, who as an entity is operated by the Crown, or the
—–13 ruling families. Now let me “digress”, lol. Politics is nothing but theatre, which
—–is why politicians are actors. When they don’t read their lines properly, you are
—–cut from the production. You are not going to change a damn thing, lmao. These
—–people are dealing with trillions on the table. Idealists are the fools that are sent
—–out to keep the people docile and non-rebellious while the elite enact their
—–agendas.

man .. I stopped watching BET years … I mean .. YEARS ago
yeah .. back when Video Soul had Donnie Simpson
and Rap City had Chris Thomas
even when Teen Summit had introduced us to Mya and Alicia Keys
damn … can I even get Midnight Love back? …
I cant even tell you what BET was thinking bringing out College Hill
when all they do is fight
Hell …I have a son and a daughter and most definitely dont want that image of ‘black college life’ is supposed to be like stuck in their heads !!
I can agree w/most who applaud TVOne …
At least I get to see Martin and Good Times
This email he wrote doesnt provide any more info that I didnt already know of
I mean … screw BET …
No one even cares about that network anymore!

if u ask me, i already knew bet was goin to go down da drain wen bobby johnson(i think dis is his name) sold it to deb lee. she dnt even look like she kno wat she doing. B.E.T is mad wack now. tha only show on there worth watch is 106 and park and even on there da host b down playing each other..smh. now they play sista sista, and one on one. basically all of upn trash shit that they threw away a couple years ago. BET needs to get it together.

@Judah, . . .and that is why you take so much time DEFENDING AND PROVING yourself too me and all the other so-called feminist, black male bashers, and robots. Certainly, it isn’t because you’re teaching us anything. All you’ve done is twist your words to distract us from your short-comings and quoted a few archaic wall scratchings. Noone is going to sign on to this BS because we have chosen to believe our own truths from countless histories contrary to what you’ve prescribed to: no lack of intelligence there, only choices. You want me to tell you that you are a black insecure, cripple-minded male who hides behind a blog. Wait, is this Paul Mooney in disguise? LOL, LMAO, ROFLMAO, what is that? Surely my son. As a black woman, I will always be your mother and have power over your destiny. My child, I will let you know when to be a man and when you should silence yourself. Right now, you need to be assertive and less aggressive, if you truly wish to teach. Otherwise, your opinions (no significant truths) are your own and will not be forced down my throat or any other bloggers here.

Go now and do your work as I’ve seen you do it best. Stop getting distracted when you are confronted with opposing views and believe that united we stand.

no surprises here…you can’t let nigglets run anything….maybe they shouldn’t have freed the slaves….

I’m sure he’s speaking the truth on most, if not all, of the issues. That being said, I bet Debra Lee’s annual salary that he got fired for his lack of business acumen, not because he wanted to make change.

Anybody making a dollar on the web knows that page views are more important than unique visitors. That’s not ad alses talk, that’s real money talk.

He sounds like someone who didn’t deserve a staff and probably was in over his head at the gig.

At the end of the day BET’s main goal is to make a profit. They don’t give a flying F**k about you or anyone else as long as there is money comming in.

Honestly, why should they? If people are dumb enough to watch the crap they put out there then……….hey, that’s their problem.

If Walmart had a hardcore porn section would you stop shopping there? Maybe some would, but most wouldn’t ….that’s society.

I wasn’t allowed to watch BET growing up, I’m 19 now and I still choose not to watch it. It’s really that simple. Every time you watch a program on BET you’re endorsing them. Don’t watch their programs. If you have a kids, block the channel.

“Supply and Demand”…as long as people keep watching…………

Who doesn’t know this, BET is a freaking joke and has no form of quality programming. When we as black people have been given the opportunity to make a difference we should grasp it and make the best of it. There are no positive shows depicted on BET. While I understand we are in a period of reality tv, and people love drama, they could at least include some quality shows which they have chosen not to do at all. When BET reaches complete failure, and a white person has ownership, they will then realize their failures.

BET is a horrible network I only watch them for their June award show (which seems like its a tribute to Beyonce every year now) and after what I saw they allowed at this year’s show and that disgrace of a tribute to MJ I’m finished!

TV One is where it’s at!!!

And Bravo, Lifetime, Oxygen, and MTV ….lol why I play so much

I understand where he is coming from (think about it SOME black people don’t want to see another black person come-up or help them out it sounds like he is s very smart man just trying to help out company and the OLD kats want give anybody a chance for new idea’s

This same thing goes on at an HBCU I once worked for. You can work your butt off and no one cares. But, if you kiss the administration’s behind and don’t do any work you will get a raise. Many people are resistant to change they do not understand nor comprehend, whether they have an MBA or PhD. It doesn’t matter how nice you say it or explain it. BET, by the content they repeatedly showcase is not interested in true growth or uplifting material they are interested in catering to any population that will provide income. “Love of money is the root of all evil”.

[...] In his email he stated: Over the past year I’ve seen a lot to reinforce my position that BET is too far gone in the negative to turn into a positive. We have all always thought the worst, but to actually see it in action is another thing in its entirety. The unprofessionalism, the tom foolery, the favors, the misappropriation of resources, the bad ideas that reinforce negative stereotypes, the emasculation of men, the meetings that break down in full fledged cursing battles, the unpaid overtime, the tears from employees scared for their underpaid and overworked positions and ultimately the unwillingness to change are all harsh realities that I’ve witnessed firsthand.

[...] I needed one year to see what really went on inside the belly of the beast. I needed 365 days to sleep with the enemy and infiltrate the [...]

Interesting, even though he did confirm all what was true about BET, he had to see first hand. I suggest he create his own TV station and bring back the hope of a Black Entertainment Station!

he isn’t 100% black that is why he wasn’t accepted!! Dummy for thinking he would make it there!
