BET's Top 25 Events That Mis-Shaped Black America

BET recently aired its top 25 events that mis-shaped Black America. Funny that BET did not make the list. It should have been included on this list.

What started out as a media house for the empowerment of black people was sold to Viacom and has been transformed into a platform that spews black self-hatred daily. BET has been responsible for projecting the most negative images of Black America in all media and has been selling advertisements to people who prey constantly on Black America. Ads for ringtones, debt relief, furniture rental, and sex talk (chat) are what BET has been selling us. Most of these ads can be found nowhere else on television.

Shame on you, BET. We are putting you at # 2, right below slavery, on your very own list of 'Top 25 Events That Mis-shaped Black America'. You have been failing Black America miserably. Clean up your act.
