Bih call me senpai
BET is just a place to watch reruns of Martin, Fresh Prince and the Jamie Foxx Show now. After they killed 106 & Park, Rap City and ComicView, a lot of people stopped fukkin with BET and I don’t blame emThecoli and black twitter the same places that make comments like "people still watch BET". Then you got the black mega celebs who will show up to other shows. But wouldnt be caught dead at the BET awards or Soul Train awards. After a while I can understand his frustration. Just sell it to the European,not as if black culture and creativity is on the incline in this country
. Once assimilation goes into overdrive BET wont even exist anymore. And iit will be marked as a sign of proggress,that we no longer need our own channel.

The selling of BET contributed to the destruction of our cultural arts but was important in showing how not keeping ethic based outlets in house can influence and degrade the way we interact and think of each other. You think the national hispanic media coalition would hold back criticism if Telemundo was sold, the qualities of art plummet and, the network begins to glorify and promotes division, false classism and corniness. Because one man wanted to play the market? Nah, but its funny.
I might’ve done the same. It was good business. But it’s strange how everyone in the world has different types of programming to appeal to multiple sub groups, personality types and age groups. And stick to more positive displays than negative. We all know of black people that are producing and creating groundbreaking work. But new BET says FNF is better than whatever Syd the Kid is doing which, when compared is a strange and irresponsible choice to push to the public. BET doesnt do premiers, regional showcases, concerts, documentaries, news, or black produced kid shows like Little Bill, just reruns and child lock edits of classics. It’s a non factor on the outside but it seems more against ”black interest “ than for it. Very c00nish network these days.
He discounted himself, his network, and the people.
I don’t know if you remember but coming home from school at 4pm 7 deep all black kids just to watch 106&Park or be inspired by College Park and talk about plans of success. Watching Rap City or Def Poetry Jam if you had it for the creativity, and connection. shyt was the epitome of innocence. Being black was openly fun and BET helped make it that. There will never be anything so geared towards the honest side of black culture.
I thank dude for creating it, but wtf he should’ve just burned it or made them take black out of it.
Brotha Byron would never
Nah he might
Furthermore I dont believe in or trust majority of you bytch ass nikkas, so I’m not sharing shyt wit youlookin boy.
Go tell Aaron Mcgruder his criticism is wrong too. You wanted the BET episode pulled didn’t you?
Oh yea how many houses, apartment buildings, churches and graveyards has your family built? Which generation are you in your family business? I’m 3rd
Did you take an apprenticeship from a black man
You ever build or remodel a black owned home with a team of 6-10 Black men?
How many times?
What’s your day job? You ever work with chemicals? How much insulin and other medications have you processed in the past few years and what’s your estimate of the black lives you saved?
I never thought about it
I just like my job
You ain’t done jack shyt you virtue signaling bytch
And that old ass nikka still goofed with BET
Don’t talk to me about contributions I do this shyt begrudgingly
we dont watch BET because post-sale the channel turned to shytThecoli and black twitter the same places that make comments like "people still watch BET
if he was still the owner that might not be the case
THAT being said...he regrets his decision. we all make mistakes and like someone else said he mighta sold at the best time considering the impact of streaming
A black person other black folk now consider a “c00n”
I’m pretty sure every wealthy black person at some point has the realization of…. man fuk these nggas. As they should. There is no such thing as helping the black masses.
Obama, Jay Z, Bron, Mayweather, Jordan, Oprah, Tyler Perry…all at some point have been considered c00ns, sellouts, or not doing enough
