I don't think they really care what a few people think as long as the money rolls in. The station is still ran in such a sloppy way. The production is second rate (at least) and the change in ownership didn't do anything to help. Also, Bob Johnson came up with a good idea at the right time, but he didn't do much to develop it like he should have. The Charlotte Bobcats (NBA team he owns) are a similar story and I think he is trying to sell them. Speaking about rappers and women. I think it is high time we take the power back and quit blaming rappers for what they say about women. What about the fact that most of what they say is probably true? What about all the athletes, actors, singers and entertainers who have beautiful women all the time? People, it is NOT a coincidence and all these women are not finding a good person in someone like Fifty Cents. What they are finding is money and they will basically sell their body and soul to live the good life. Please, start to mention the women like this in the same vein as the rappers. .-= Tom Sawyer´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/7daybuzzcom/~3/4LjrN_Avcqs/" rel="nofollow">Affirmative Action is Evil Says Pat Buchanan</a> =-.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2879','Tom Sawyer'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2879','Tom Sawyer','BET is garbage.

So, my point is, if it works on MTV, which brings in greater profits than BET, why not see if the same programming works on BET, to increase profits? Does that make sense? Also, I guess I wanted to stress that it's not owned by a Black person any longer because, there are those little kids who, watch it faithfully, with the thought that Black people are putting this stuff on the air, which they are not! Granted Bob Johnson, when he owned it, was no better in his programming, but now there's way more sexually explicit programs on BET, like there is on MTV. .-= Kim Sawyer´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/7daybuzzcom/~3/ro_Cv_hn3mE/" rel="nofollow">Wordplay Wednesday</a> =-.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2870','Kim Sawyer'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2870','Kim Sawyer','<a href=\'#comment-2868\' rel=\"nofollow\">@Kathy<\/a> - I agree with you on your point, but if you look at the alreading existing programs that are shown on MTV, and trust me, it\'s horrendous, they (Viacom) is pretty much following the same format with BET.

I agree with Delores, it isn't just this age group that needs to be crying out. I know grown adults that would rather sit and watch videos on BET, in front of and with their young, impressionable children, than any other programs. I am not speaking against watching BET or videos per se, I'm just saying. And to be honest, it is probably too late for those grown folk. They are who they are gonna be. But at age 15 and even younger, we've got to let them know, there is so much more out there than rappers and baggy pants and bling bling (am I out of date with that one? lol) EDUCATION is what we should be screaming from the rooftop, from every venue possible!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('2869','Kathy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('2869','Kathy','I didn\'t know she was a fictional character and maybe its best I didn\'t because the message it sent did touch me and make me think.
