Co-Founder of BET Slams Network, Says It 'Reinforces Negative Stereotypes' | Kulture Kritic


Quote:

We had public affairs programming. We had news… I had a show
called
Teen Summit, we had a large variety of
programming, but the problem is that then the video revolution started up… And
then something started happening, and I didn’t like it at all. And I remember
during those days we would sit up and watch these videos and decide which ones
were going on and which ones were not. We got a lot of backlash from recording
artists…and we had to start showing them. I didn’t like the way women were being
portrayed in these videos
.”
When Sheila and her husband-at-the-time Robert Johnson owned the network, the racy “BET Uncut” music video series would broadcast late in the evening. Remember that little gem??? I sure do!! Youtube the video "Tip Drill", if you wanna see what I'm talking about.


I agree with her words in the article.......But she and her husband gave it all away.....I agree with her. But I also wanna tell her to sit down and shut her pie hole!

Read that full article.....tell me what you think.....

l laugh at this. BET should just say I is what I is. Every other word has to be blurped out.

"I get up Blurping morning and I smoke some blurp...........I call up the blurp and say come on over blurp. I no need no job cause the blurp will hit the street. Pimping aint easy."

And what was the one about not needing a diploma by Drake? You know the one where he basically calls people who pursue education losers. Nice dreads and tattoos and blue hair for the job interview.

What a joke. Its laughable. Great family entertainment. Rappers put out great guidance for them. Lots of love songs about having as many women as you can. Starting businesses in the pharmaceutical field. Also they are really tough. Two of the artist that have had parts on Lil waynes songs were killed. Classy I tell you.

You mean one of the most influential music genres in the past 3 decades?

You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Every other music channel has just as much hip hop as BET does.

Go ahead...make a case.

Why is it so important that BET be the straight arrow while their competitors pump out garbage that gets high ratings? Because it's the so called "black" entertainment channel, and us kneegrows can't be trusted to have anything but good influences on TV lest we all go to hell?

This is just more race baiting garbage. She and her husband sold out to Viacom and ran with their billions. They didn't care about the channel having a "positive impact" when they cashed their checks. So they oughta shut the hell up and go shopping.
The music videos are all garbage. I would rather listen to the song and make my own memories with it.. not watch a trashy video on the song.. they should do away with music videos.. I rather have the singers perform the song standing there singing.It was classy back in the day.
This is class!!
