I've glance through some of the comments that have been posted. I agree with some points of view and disagree with other. I watch Cita and may i frankly add that I enjoy her show also. A lot you you commented about the light skin/ dark skinned issue and where were the positive dark skinned hosts/hostesses. There are several good examples of dark skinned hostesses, i.e the host of OUT THE BOX, and the doctor/co-host of Heart and Soul.
While the majority of the panel keeps on bashng BET and CITA...keep in mind that along with her Ghetto-fabulous grammar that Cita does touch on some real and important issues. A lot of the comments that she makes are sensable and true, while some are mainly of jest and jones. I think that we have to take Cita with a grain of salt and stop looking at the negative side of things all the time. I, myself, am of a darker skin complexion and my looks favor Cita's in many aspects. I did not see her as a negative icon until I read this message board. Oh, there are also some more positive black faces on ALL and on Teen Summit. If you decide to single out the negative aspects of CITA...why not Hits form the Streets or L.A Live the hosts are dark skin and they at times tend to act "ghetto." I really have no complaints about BET, except for the infomercial, and I think that this is due to the fact that it is white owned. I enjoy the shows and you really have to take a lot of them with a grain of salt.
