How is he a traitor? He sold his company, it's not like you don't see people do that every week. Whoever he sold it to (those fags at Viacom) should be the ones that recieve the blame.

Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? Calling it Black Entertainment Television and it's owned by whites? Black people don't own their own television station, and they don't even own the gas station at the corner of all black nieghborhoods.
With all the problems facing black people, they had an oppurtunity to use media to their advantage. They had their own television station in which they could have aired programming that would have been beneficial to their people. They could have used it as a forum for uplifting the mentality of their people and advertising the more virtuous attributes of their community. Now, you see it's only being used as a soft porn network; they are pimpin their black women.

I agree with everything you said. BET is a sell out, but you didn't answer my question. How is Robert Johnson a traitor?

That's what he does. He's a business man. Him selling it was just an indirect action that led to what BET is today.

What are you talking about? "That's what he does". So if an Italian Mobster takes one of your family members hostage and charges ransom for her. It's all good because "That's what he does".
That's not a sufficient excuse for selling out your people. He was already a rich and successful business man, he didn't have to sell BET to Viacom. And don't say "indirect" either; since he sold the network, they got rid of Tavis Smiley, BET Tonight, Teen Summit (Their intellectual programming) and instead they added more programs that exploit their race as being nothing but materialistic, ignorant, sex-objects.

I agree for the most part....he might be a business man, but if you wanna say it like that, then that means he's just living up to the stereotypes of a business man, meaning he has no ethics or values. He definitely had enough money, and he could have sold it to a group of black investors or anyone else, even if he didn't make as much money. It just shows that he values money a lot more than the impact and effect that what he created has and will have on the black youth. I wouldn't put ALL the blame on him, but he should have known that it would happen like it did.
