47. Greetings to all who continue to read these comments.

The funny thing about the Internet and blogs...a wall is put up. People say what they want. People can be whom they want to be. Now this is where the irony kicks in. A lot of the ignorance that is displaced in blogs would be different if you were face-to-face with those individuals. Many would DARE not say some of the things that were printed here, in "real" life.

Pride in one's self, culture, race, ethnicity, etc. is not racist. When you begin to belittle, demean, etc. others, that's when racism begins to clear its ugly head. If a confederate flag is a way to show your pride, display it. As a Black woman, I could care less. If you want a White Entertainment Television, create one. It's your choice. If you know you don't have racisit intentions, it'll eventually be shown.

BET was created because there was not a market that catered to people of color. If you want some form of entertainment that caters to you, CREATE IT. Bob Johnson did.

For the record, BET is owned by Viacom. This is the same company that owns MTV. I'll pretty sure that the head of Viacom isn't Black.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Well, seeing as Alicia Keys is a surgically reconstructed half-white girl, that's kind of pitiful coming from her. Oh, yeah, she's a hack, too. Wouldn't put much weight on her worldview.

51. TMZ, you crack me up! You'll delete my comment...I guess it was deemed inappropriate when I stated that you guys had some nerve stating that guests at the 2008 BET Awards looked a hot mess being that I've seen your show and you're staffers are quite the hot mess....But you won't delete the comments of those using racial slurs? Hmmm...just what I thought...TMZ, another TRASH media site. Go ahead, delete that!

53. I wonder how many of the people attending the "BET" awards last night know who their daddy is or were raised by their grandmother's?!? Now there is poll that should be taken!

54. Isn't talent talent, no matter where it's coming from? I am white, but I see & hear people I admire every day. Some look kinda like me & some don't. I see people with clothes on I don't like, some I do. If God gave you some gift & you can make millions from it, that seems a whole lot better than wasted talent in any capacity.
My brother & I grew up watching BET & MTV. MTV didn't play all the videos we wanted to see in the mid 80's. If you wanted to see Rebbie Jackson's video "Centipede" (I am not sure now why we wanted to-ha ha!) then by God you had to go over to BET. Alexander O'Neal, Cherelle, Raydio. If you like something, who cares?
There are artists dressed badly at all the awards shows-is that something new? People are making millions off discussing the clothes & jewelry-on "E" and all the tabloids.

And what have you done in your life to entitle you to be invited to any type of awards ceremony?? That's what I thought...
Such hatred.

58. Brattus, you moron! They are asking Jerel because they are the idiot that brought the subject up!

59. applesauce, being invited to an awards show and my question have nothing to do with each other! Did my question sting?

60. May God bless all of you and soften your hearts towards one another. There is no reason to be so hateful towards one another. It doesn't benefit anyone. You should always fight hate with love. Responding to something ignorant makes you look ignorant.
