For all we know, we may not know the details of the deal and the Viacom execs may have promised to keep the network going in that direction. We all know corporate execs are slimy human beings. Instead of being responsible and promoting quality African American programming, Viacom took the cheap route, and put on stereotypical garbage shows. That's what you expect from Viacom though, they've got nothing but trash out.

No, the blame is with Robert Johnson. You can't have a network called Black Entertainment Television and then sell it to whites (who have been the historical oppressor of blacks).
Do you think Arabs would allow an Arab Entertainment Television station in Jerusalam to be ran by the Jews? And what kind of content would a station like that carry?

All three of the head chairman at Viacom when BET was sold were Jewish; Sumner Redstone, Les Moonves, and Mel Karmazin. So in actuality he did not sell it to the Christian whites that oppressed them. (Unless you are a big believer in anti-semitic conspiracy theories).
Let's get real, if the whites he sold it to were Muslim whites you'd be jumping up and down in joy like Jesus just came back to earth.

I'm not a non-black, but I used to watch Rap City sometimes. But ever since they refused to air Little Brother's video because it was "too intelligent" for their audiences, I've stopped watching B.E.T. entirely. I agree with all that's been said in this thread...it's become too exploitative, and it just furthers degrading stereotypes. Granted, I doubt I'd watch ANY music channel given the nature of most rap videos these days, but B.E.T. is definitely amongst the worst.
LOL at any white folks who get all sensitive about calling it "Black Entertainment Television", tho.

Props...thanks for the info, I forgot about that little brother video they refused to play. That's a good example of what I was describing.

Interesting... and thanks for the info. The point however is still the same (Robert Johnson is still a trader to his people) because Jews have also been a historical oppressor of black people. They mastered a system of interest (usury) that has put most of Africa into an insurmountable debt that they can never recover from.
The point is the Black Entertainment Television station should be owned by blacks, period.
coola:
i agree with infinite, dude sold out... but we'll never know if he was forced to or what-not, if he's still the chair-man then you'd think he wasn't forced out...
and yeah whites have been oppressors in the past, also blacks have oppressed themselves and sold their own people in the past too.... strange how history keeps repeating itself.
