It annoys me.

Just stfu!!

BET ain’t for black people it’s for people who consume black culture! Most TV channels cater to white American culture.

Btw, you are not black!!

I didn’t define your blackness in my answer, I’m actually the exact polar opposite of blacks who think like that. Anyway Im just tired of white people moaning about this shyt!! And yes you are white!!

Well it’s there because of a lack of black representation in the media.

I Agree with you

In Business World, People Don’t Give a Damn about Other Feeling or respect as Long as They Making Cash out of it.

Don’t get me wrong, same thing with Porno Movie,, very very disrespectful picture to what supposed to be our moms and sister and daughters and such.

Money Is the Devil

Agreed. And the fact that there a scholarships and schools for blacks only..?

Well, Johnny that’s just the way the media is. they do it to everyone. Don’t watch if you don’t like it, or protest, do something about it. And Richard T, YOU’RE A MORON

You people complain about the DUMBEST things, if you had a life that stuff wouldn’t even pass through your mind….

so its obvious you don’t.

What about MTV tres thats all Latino and rap and reggeton? *sheesh get over it. about 88% of all things on television are with white people! *Duh!

thats very true
i totally agree with you on that
i think the people that created these things feel its right because they were the ones that got “picked on” to put it lightly and they feel its ok to this because of that
if a white channel was made oh it’d be the end of the world!
even if it was i would totally disagree with it still but my god i totally see what your saying

Oh who knows. It’s not like anyone really cares that there is a BET. I doubt anyone would really care if there was a WET. (except the media of course). WET probably wouldn’t be as funny, cause lets face it, black people are pretty entertaining. Just in their culture I guess. I don’t see it as a racist thing at all.

I get 300 white ch. why can’t they be 1 black..not that i ever watch it

Why not? There are channels that appear to everyone – here are a few examples:

[adult swim] & Comedy Central appeal to mostly teenagers and young adults of all races.

Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and PBS tend to draw in children and young teens of all races.

Lifetime – “The Channel For Women” – need I say more?

There are also networks that air shows in one language – did you forget about the Spanish channels? These channels are there for people who don’t fully understand the English language yet, or for people who are trying to learn Spanish.

I always lumped MTV, VH1, and BET together because they are primarily music-based channels (for the most part), none of which “objectifying” any specific race. In fact, did you know that at least one of the members of N*Sync have been on BET? Granted, BET airs music and programs that have common themes, but it attracts different races. That’s why I don’t think BET is objectifying any race. If that were really true, it would have been given the axe a long, long time ago.

Having channels such as these gives us a sense of other cultures that you may not know about already, which is a benefit – especially if you can’t travel to other places for this type of exposure.
