It is first in our history that someone in the African American lineage is so close to winning the white House. Yet I do not see Black Entertainment Television in the fore front in this history making political season. I thought that the eseence of BET was and is to bring to the fore front the plight of the black man or the minority in a society which seems to project what ever the whiteman does as been better than what any race besides them is capable of doing. In fact, I thought BET bridged that gap or I am just in my own world. God bless
I would just like to say that Im a young(22) black female living in montgomery,al the capital of racism. I am from cali but im here for school.I bartend and talk to all types of people and everyone from old white men,who have probably never had a real conversation with a smart black person are voting for barak obama. I am a military brat whos father was in iraq for 2 tours….speaking on his behalf and mine. This man is a good look for the united states his track record and stance on everything from war to heathcare are untouchable….i truly believe that behind every strong man is a strong women….and behind every strong women speaking non-sense theres a man telling her to do so……(hilary) Its time for a change….i may be young but i remeber bush…..then clinton…then bush again…..need i say more?????vote for OBAMA!
I agree D. Charles! I blame Mr. Robert Johnson the former owner of BET! He sold BET to Viacom for 3 Billion dollars! Viacom already owner halt of every other major cable networks on cable! He took the money and ran, Now Viacom has changed BET image! Now it seems that the BET shows are more ignorant then ever before! Who knows, maybe Viacom are Hillary supporters! I know Robert Johnson is! Now if that isn’t selling out I don’t know what is. BET is now worth more then it was when he sold it! Maybe he should have kept BET a little longer to make sure that BET didn’t get corrupted by the big corporation! HES A SELL OUT!

What I find too be rediculous is that White people say that when Blacks vote for Obama that we(blacks)are “blinded” by race.But when Whites vote for Whites it’s not racist.Just who the hell do they think they are Bull####### !?
May 7, 2008 was a heart warmer. Way to go North Carolina!! My Obama!!!!!!!!!! Idiana you did a BIG part!!!
