I had a conversation with a friend on mine last week about BET. He asked me when was the last time BET meant something to me. I thought about it for a minute and said back in the day when Donnie and Sherry were hosting videos. IMO, that is when videos were videos with no booty-shaking, half-naked folks parading around, and music was music.
He then asked how old I was at the time. I think I was in to BET from 12-20 maybe. Anyway, the point he was trying to make is that BET gave our generation what we wanted and maybe they are just giving the next generation what they want since they are the target audience. So, maybe as times change so will BET. Hopefully, they will change for the better because at this rate they are definitely near the bottom if they haven't touched it yet.
