REAL TALK: VIACOM Straight Played Black Folks

[NatiboyB]

shyt, I dont even have cable anymore... fukk BET

Exactly

 

[NoChillJones]

VH1 does have fukked up shows...but black viewershop made these shows viable...flavor of love sparked the whole bullshyt off....and alot of black viewership tuned in weekly.

Black people also need to get over ourselves pretending like we always need to be seem in a positive light to look better in the eyes of whites. Yall so bad with it yall will turn your nose up at any and everything black just to shun whitey...shooting off our nose to spite our faces literally.....but will turn around and endorse some oversexed overly violent rap artist in a minute. I'm just saying our race is just as messy as all these other races. We dont have to be ashamed of that....embrace our selves the good the bad and the ugly...and stop race shaming..fukk these cacs they aint no better then any one else on this fukking planet.

I hate to be that person, but you lost if you watching anything other than news and live sports on cable

Literally ALL I watch
Maybe Nat Geo and some First 48, but I do not watch ANY other programming(shows, reality shows, movies, series, blah blah blah). NONE of that sh!t has interested me in almost 15 years. Especially since a decade ago when music programs(rap city, mtv jamz) disappeared.

And I'm not ashamed to be "that person" I'll say it: YES i think the rest of yall who DO indulge in television heavily, are idiot mush-brained sheep.
It's hard NOT to think that about yall, considering wtf be having yall captivated.

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

The devil is a motherfukker.

@The Amerikkkan Idol

Their is NOTHING clean about the show MARY JANE

Gabrielle Union plays a character who sleeps with a married man and another dude who sees other women ..yet she blames the men for her bad choices

Only reason it's perceived as CLASSY is because the character is Beautiful and has MONEY

BUT IT'S STILL SOME RATCHET SHYT AS THIS ARTICLE POINTS OUT...

I find it more NEGATIVE than the reality shows on VH1 because it sends the message that even if you ain't dating rappers and trappers and live the professional life ....

You still ain't winning unless you're a THOT [/QUOTE]

I never watched it I just saw Gabby Union looking like she was in some newsroom & assumed it was classy, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it was ratchet deep down

Man, if "Flavor of Love" would've been on BET, I honestly don't think BET would be on the air right now. The activists would've made sure it shut down.

You are right.

If You Are Black Its Imperative That You Are Aware Of What "Media Propaganda" Is

 

[jackson35]

the CEO of Viacom is a opportunist,they put on programming that he thinks black folks will watch. if a certain percentage of us don't like it, we should not watch it and let the company know that we don't not appreciate these type of shows

I agree, I was just pointing out how the activists were played by Viacom.

If you're so offended by what's on BET, why aren't you offended by what's 2 channels down the dial, owned by the same company?

It's essentially what always happens, where Black folks are death on each other, but will let the White man do whatever he wants.

Dude, if this was on BET,

[Originalman]

True I been saying this shyt for years......oh and being mary jane is ratchet as fukk and filled with agenda.

I been on my fukk BET since about 2002 or 2003.

 

[Geek Nasty]

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

Holy shyt you just summed up Vice perfectly

I like the channel but that's why I can't take it seriously. Dudes are crazy unprofessional and mentally unprepared for some of the shyt they're asked to do. Seeing some white dude trying to tell me about the hoods of STL when you can tell Opie is shook being in a crowd of black folk

Dude, that episode when they went to Chiraq is pure comedy.

There was so much fukkery that the folks in the hoods of Chicago actually had a town hall meeting and called the motherfukker to task for that shyt

I don't have cable, does BET still exist? Is MTV is still showing reality TV shows?

Dude, both are sooo gay now.

MTV just shows reality TV still & for some unknown reason they play a lot of reruns of "Martin" & "The Wayns Brothers"

BET is basically a skeleton network that plays a combination of reality TV, gospel, and some original programming.

Neither one is anything like they were when I was a shorty.
