Hi all,
I am not sure if a thread on this has already been started. If it has, Mods, I do apologize, but I just received this from another Soror and I felt compelled to share. This is CRAZY. If you don't know, one of the shows in BET's new line up is entitled, "Hot Ghetto Mess." I saw the previews for it and bottom line, it is absolutely degrading and amounts to nothing more than a minstrel show (in kind to Flavour of Love, I love New York and the like). While I occasionally watch BET (Celebration of Gospel, and other uplifting shows), I am, in light of this new show, vowing not to continue my viewership until they remove this show from the line up. It saddens me that a station that was once the primary medium by which our people were uplifted and informed has fallen to perpetuating the very stereotypes we try everyday to dispel.
A petition to remove the show has been started. If you see fit, please sign and forward to others.
