@Pink Book lessons were you aware that these award shows are scripted. That dialogue between Taraji and Kamala is a script that is not how Kamala actually talks. Maybe Taraji, but not Kamala.
If it was scripted then that makes it even more worrisome. That means you'll do/say anything for a dollar and attention. Stop trying to validate h03 activities.
We expect the Vice President and others elected to govern us to be above this foolishness, not part of it like they clearly are. They think we are dumb and we need them to guide us and think for us.
@@LayLay31035 The negro descendants of slaves wherever they're from are the descendants of the Yahudim. But why do some "black" Americans feel like they have a monopoly on that? We're all facing either our redemption or our destruction. The Bible says only one from a town and two from a clan will make it back to Zion. Knowing that, I'm motivated towards repentance, forgiveness, righteousness and unity, not dividing ourselves by a flimsy "us" and "them" dichotomy. I'm saying this because we all need to wake up in the little time that we have left.
It kills me because everyone wants to quote Brother Malcom. If Malcom X was alive today, a lot of our people would call him a misogynist and wished he was gone.
I've been saying this for a LONG time now. We went from Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross just to name a few of women who showed what it looked like for black women to show vocal talent, excellence, elegance and beauty to nothing more than ass shaking and "singing" about being a single mother, destroying families, being a street walker and degenerate behavior.
@@helbitkelbit1790 I know I missed a few other great names but those were just the few of the top of my head. But you, like many, get what I'm saying. Today's "musicians" aren't musicians. They are street walkers using the title musicians. Everyone sees it and are so freakin' tired of it. Bring back black greatness. Bring back black elegance.
Yup from Sam Cooke, Luther, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson JUST TO NAME A FEW to black men pushing death destruction, rape culture, pimp culture and gang banging, being deadbeats ect. The only difference is black men have been pushing worse for longer. There’s never been a black women to sell 10-20 million records pushing sex .. but doggystyle ? The chronic ? Y’all black men some hypocrites. In 1988 Whitney was saying “ I Wanna dance with somebody “ Anita Baker “ Giving you the best I got “ then on the whole opposite side of spectrum NWA and Uncle Luke where they preaching love ? Black men started all this negative imagery and messages being pushed now y’all want to blame women.
@paperwork_party If you're a POC you can't talk as if you're in a "population me" in reality lol you will be grouped into the community whether you like it or not! 🤣
So are native tribal women in Africa and South America who wear little clothing and also gyrate trash and damaging their culture? You fucking dummies sound beyond stupid. Take the stick out of your ass and put it in your mouth.
@@awkwardletter9533 I laughed when I saw that. I've heard a lot of shi*t from black people in my life but saying a song is "too intelligent" for an audience has to be the worst 😂
How do you know that was the reason? Are you guessing? I was told that they bleeped out the profanity. If he truly wanted to get his message out, he should have left out the profanity.
The only people who attend the BET Awards nowadays are D-List celebrities, reality show rejects and 304s who moonlight as rappers and social media influencers. The only way they are able to get anyone relevant is by luring them there with a “Lifetime Achievement” Award. I stopped watching that train wreck years ago. It’s insulting that they say it’s “for the culture”.
It’s the WORST it has ever been, it’s honestly Sad to watch. There is NOTHING Classy about “the culture” anymore, the classy, decent blaxk celebrities get bullied and berated, for not acting “Real” which is code word for they are not acting “Ratchet, hood and Ghetto”, enough or at all.
This is the small hat culture paying small minded money hungry, immoral females and males to attempt to destroy our image and culture globally. This is not our culture.
I haven’t watched since I was a teenager. It’s so disgusting because our young girls don’t know the difference between entertainment and reality. Where the women go, the culture goes… we are in HELL. Thank you PBL for always keeping it 💯.
That is correct... Where women go, culture will go.... But as usual, it's gonna be men's fault for NOT curtailing the same women who cry sexism and misogyny.. Most people aren't aware of howculture works
Thank you Pink for speaking against this foolihness. Some black celebrity women have become the greatest threat to the black families. The enemy has fooled us as a people. This is what happens when you do not fear God and lack wisdom and true identity.
I remember black actors actresses boycotting Hollywood to stop type casting us as street walkers and maids. What I saw at this so called awards show set us back 50 years.
Also for men gaze. A lot of feminists like to think that this is sexual liberation. When its actually OF. And women out here pretending like, no its for us. We want to be empowered All the while they welcome the gaze. They enjoy being sexualized. Because it means money. Its crazy and self sabotaging.
I agree, I’m not from the states, but I think they dropped the ball in displaying how black people should be viewed. As a black man, there was not a lot to look at to be proud of
True, however this is what the young folks are watching. Not recognizing what is really going on. Taking black history out of schools, making it hard for black to reach a higher education, attempting to take black folks back to an era of times gone past. Its really a shame the direction this is going. If you have not, please seek the LORD.
Longer! To be honest, I stopped watching BET circa Free and AJ era or shortly thereafter. I just out grew it! I’m someone who use to watch it religiously when I was young!
Yes and you literally watch your mom generation mess everything up and you was there first hand as you sister girls got turned out and then they daughter became hoes and now those hoes are having newer hoes
That part! I'm looking at the women in the comment section saying they don't represent us but they the main ones who watched the show and listen their music.
@@dariusthegreat3097just like black Men with gangster and drill music. Always Remember before there ever was a lil Kim type of female rapper black men were disrespecting us for the whole world to here and selling MILLIONS … doubt you have a problem with it though
I thought I was the only one who noticed the masculine energy from women. There was a lot of LGBTQ and stripper energy. Lauryn was the only respectable artist!!
I miss The Boondocks, they had it right all along about the destructive nature of BET to our community. I'm glad people are waking up and seeing it for what it really is!!
@@univalent15 No she's not. She just has more sponsors than the others and black folks are told who to like. It's crazy how you hear more white people bumping these corny rappers but I swear it's mostly black women out here bumping Sexy Red.
Boondocks gave a lot of truth. That's why they don't play the show anymore. Look at what they did to SINBAD'S show. The one with his wife, son, and daughter.
@@khadyadjisall5708You seem to be misguided as to what is really going on here, so I'll fill you in. Black Americans don't own the so-called BET Network which stands for Black Entertainment Television. It's owned by White People who control what is produced and broadcast on their network. Also, all the so-called Black Artists who appear on BET have contracts with White Owned Music Companies. So the music company controls what is produced and distributed to the world. Therefore, whoever controls the media controls the "NARRATIVE" of the Black People they are manipulating, and how the world perceives Black People. So, wake up and stop your divisive way of thinking and realize that it's not about Black People trying something in Africa. It's about the conscious effort of Powerful People, who control the media, and who are out to discredit Black People by creating their own version of the Black narrative.
The sad thing is that we are doing this to OURSELVES. Black community hanging on by a thread. People waking up. We need to stop supporting this foolishness.
Tell me what is the vibe now what is the anthem of black community is song called " NOT LIKE US" what is the message of this song is separation, tell me if it was a white guys singing that. Brother and sister i dont need to say more. The devil enjoy destroying this community after 6 centuries of slavery seems like it is not enough for him he still destroying us
It was till they started letting trash in the door. they should have held their ground. Now the sophisticated folks go someplace else & hold their own private events that nobody is invited too nor do the outsiders even hear about any.
As Black women, we have got to stop supporting this mess. I refuse to watch the EBT awards just like the Essence fest. And we wonder why we the most disrespected group of women. These are the images the world sees of Black women. When is enough, enough? We have to do better because this affects all of us a Black women. This is an agenda and we’re playing right into it. What happened to Black Girl Magic? There’s none and I blame us for it.
The most disgusting part of The BET Awards is them Muting Usher! As soon as he started showing love to Black Men and Black Fathers his speech gets muted but it was cool for Taraji to tell us to go out and vote for a white man that’s a walking vegetable.
Unfortunately its going to keep getting worst year by year. I won't be surprised everyone will be performing with no clothes on and just doing the most and acting the fool come next year smh.
I haven’t watch it or BET for that matter for more than 10 years. They knew exactly what their goal was when they bought it to completely destroy it. Won’t be surprised if they start having sex during one year’s performance
LOTS OF BLACK WOMEN ARE VERY PISSED OFF ABOUT THE AWARDS AND ARE SPEAKING OUT! THERE ARE WHOLE TIK TOK COMPULATIONS miss lady, THEY ARE GOING ALL IN TOO! I LOVE IT Because this ish has to stop.
You are correct I used to watch the BET awards But Master P call them out they celebrated a rapper when he already died Instead of celebrating his artistry when he was alive, they did it when he died “ it doesn’t matter. He was a crest rapper wrapped about his city where he lived.” Minions and millions of albums sold still did not get the recognition when he was alive. That’s just one thing, but ! Now it becomes political” it becomes a spectacle” Some of the things they do on stage or outrageous and they let they go out on TV. Where is the? Decency where is the? Respect about a year ago I canceled my prescription to BET. They do not represent my values “
I love that you pointed out the hypocrisy when a woman is mixed vs a man. We see it in hip hop all the time. That’s exactly what kat Williams was talking about
It’s sad and disgraceful to our culture. These people are representing the black communities in a negative manner. Same here it’s been years since I watched the BET Awards. Please someone take it off the air❤
Simple, short-sighted statement. It's a confluence of both, with long-standing systematic racism being the main culprit. This small cohort of low class individuals is just a subset of the great black culture, but is what's promoted the most by that same systematic machine. That's a problem because any Black American person is automatically stereotyped as one of them. No other ethnicity of people has to deal with this madness. Add on top the self-inflicted wounds, and you get what you see today. Crazy.
I only watched the Usher tribute and the entire time I felt awkward. I was a hard-core Usher fan for a good 20yrs but the entire time I thought to myself "Tyrese didn't want to sing a song?, so many Male singers and they asked all these women, then it's all sex sex and mediocrity". 😢 throw this "black culture" away.
Ikr!! Come on, Tyrese, Mario, so many great male singers! While I was watching I was thinking why are they using women to sing in Usher’s register when the guys would have done a much better job? Some of the women sounded downright horrible. Grinding on each other. Smh 😢
Drove thru some apartments the other day. Saw a girl no older than 4 bent over attempting to twerk in front of a little boy. She saw me and stopped. It’s horrifying and their mamas don’t care. That’s where those babies are learning this crap
Even the crowd at the BET awards looked horrible. You would think the awards would be the epitome of black entertainment today, judging how classy and great it was back in that day..sad.
