They not ignoring them because they are black owned. They're ignoring them because they are a youtube channel amongst a crowd of actual mainstream Media companies. BET probably doesn't have the same problems as Black Tree TV.
Black artists ignoring black media on the red carpet

Thats the problem alot of that small group does and the stars remember who they are that said the wild shyt
think of this way
your reading the disrespect on the come up and you say "once i make it they not getting no love from me"
remember these stars are people and those same people can be petty
Gucci mane was called everything from a clone to a wash out when he came out of prison
from his own people
do you think he gonna go out his way to give those same people access?

Disgusted.
why is this surprising? Most of these black celebrities do nothing for the community.
I've always said, if most white americans left and went to Mars to colonize it, black folks will want to follow and get in that mawfukker to. talking about, "we are good enough to colonize too"

This sounds right and this same story resurfaces like clockwork every year.
To them I say "GET YOUR WEIGHT UP"
A dude I used to be online friends with built his black sports SITE brand up, from scratch, we saw him do it in real time
no connections, no major co-sign, not even based in a major sports market....just his idea + hard work
lost touch with him and years later I'm watching the Super Bowl media day and lo and behold.....my guy is up there talking to Broncos/Seahawks for HIS media platform.

Its like 4 of them there. slide thru, stop, say whats good. give them 2 or 3 answers to quick questions would take less than 3 mins. keep it moving. It can be done. they did a story about this a year or so ago. I can't remember which black actress it was but she said she makes a point to go over to all the black media FIRST. then she said because she does that, sometimes the mainstream white media will look her off. how cold is that. i wish i could find that link.
do not be fooled. it is not just about getting your weight up. this is a real issue and has always been a real issue. its the black folks wont talk to black media. and others wont talk to black media. its not like its that hard. its only a handful of them. shoot, knock them all out at once, have them crowd around and get a few questions and keep it pushing. its doable. but if you dont care. you dont care. it aint that hard to think about your people. and how are you too big to holler at the little guy when being black is always being the little guy even when you're the big guy. one bad move and they will make you little again. we know this. this is not the same as talking to every wanna be rapper on the streets wanting to get signed. this is like 4 to 6 media. thats it.

BET is not owned by black people and this is common knowledge
Considering we need more black media outlets why wouldn't a black celebrity take literally 60 seconds to speak to them and help build their brand? A one minute interview with the right celeb could help put them on the map for the independent black journalist.
Now I don’t wana be that guy ... but maybe he should of dressed up a lil more. He’s looks like he’s chillin tbh. It’s an award ceremony.
Plus. The girl next to him is asking for a photo. YOU’RE THERE TO WORK. Not be a fan. Pick one.

But the artists are even walking pass the cac media outlets so it ain't like they showing favoritism to the cacs or something
I can relate tho. I did a red carpet for the upfronts and Tracie Ellis Ross dipped on me and my guy. Although, I cut her some slack because she did acknowledge us, but also it did look like she was running late.
A lot of the times, we don’t know what’s going on in their heads.
