That would have been nothing new for BET even before Bob Johnson sold to Viacom. BET has historically been criticized for being color struck. Shoot, as an undergrad in 92 (OHMYGOD I am old!) a BET rep came to talk on campus and got taken to task over the complete absence of dark skinned or even brown skinned people on the BET on air staff.

They were questionable then and they really suck now.

Actually, I heard from one of my friends that Hits' show got the ax b/c there was a rumor going around that he had died!!!! I don't know what the story is, but that's what I heard, since the rumor was getting SUPER DUPER HEAVY ROTATION in Black people's close circles.

As far as the Lizard Man with his dreadrow cornlocks, YES he's getting the ax. It has been said that he's gonna be replaced by Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie aka "The Mad Rapper," who is half White. I hear that he's replacing AJ b/c AJ's too dark for BET (or is it WET; WACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION!!!!!!). Also, if you notice, Free isn't always wearing her afro as often as she used to. That's b/c WET thinks that her look is "too nappy" and needs to be straightened. Well, that's what happens when the owner of a Black company decides to sell to a racist White company (and yes, Viacom is blatantly RACIST!!!!!!) .
