REAL TALK: VIACOM Straight Played Black Folks

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Black folks got so up and arms all those years about hating BET for all of it's ratchet ass programming.

All Viacom did was just put all of their boring programs on BET and put all the ratchet shyt on VH1

Just turn on that motherfukker. If "Black Ink Club", "Love & Hip-Hop" & "Basketball Wives" and all those ratchet ass spinoff shows were on BET, motherfukkers would be about to riot, but they just put those shows a few channels down and damn near nobody says shyt.

So, now they can look clean for having BET have shyt like Gabby Union's "Mary Jane" show and other shyt about upwardly mobile Black folks and now all the ratchet shyt is still on the air but just on another one of their networks.

The devil is a motherfukker.

Never peeped this.

I wonder what the employee demographics are for the two channels. it would be crazy if less black people were eating at BET cause black activists kept bytching about content (that draws viewers cause it's ratchet)
when the same content is being consumed at record levels on networks with more white employees getting them bonuses and shyt

I guess we could call that the "Vice ratio"

A bunch of nerdy White motherfukkers talking about ratchet shyt like they're talking about animals on a safari on National Geographic

[Mensch Fontana]

It was done for white people, so they can watch black folks act a fool without having to be inconvenienced with regular black programming, while at the same time feeling safe on their historically/traditionally all white network.

Man, if this shyt was on BET, there'd be a riot.

Spoiler: Warning: Ratchet Behavior

Duffey thick ass doe

 

[Ziggiy]

There's so much truth to this it's fukking crazy

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

the CEO of Viacom is racist as well. I don't think he cares about the success of BET at all, he just wanted to make VHI popular.
