Black Entertainment Television. A channel, owned by Viacom, that caters to what white people think are the interests of African-Americans. It is neither evidence of affirmative action nor racism, since white people have the Country Music Television (CMT) channel (not to mention CNN, Golf and Food Networks, and all other channels, etc)and Hispanics have Univision and Telemundo. While BET is "for" African-Americans, it does not necessarily represent the views, ideas and interests of all African-Americans, just like CMT or Univision do not represent all whites and hispanics.
B.E.T. is television channel that focuses on what white people think are the interests of African-Americans.

B.E.T. should rename its "Rap City" show to "Techno City" because not one of the songs played was rap POETRY at all.
Besides, rap was dead and rotten by 1997 anyway.
*Note: Rap is not music.

If This station really is Black Entertainment Television, and it is dedicated to playing black music, why the fuck isn't it playing jazz, oldskool hip hop, funk, disco, bebop, swing, reggae, traditional African music, caribbean, black European music? And why the Hell are they only playing songs about blings, bitches, booze, and blunts?
Black Entertainment Television my ass.

Along with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, one of the many causes of continued racial division in America today.

Racist television channel. If a white person was to start a White Entertainment channel, he would be called a racist and a skinhead, and would probably be sued.

Funny how blacks can have their own channel but if white people have White Entertainment Television it's marked as racist...

B.E.T. is racist television. White people can't go around criticizing blacks, yet blacks do it all the time on their comedy shows. B.E.T. is mostly rap, R&B and hip-hop "music" only from blacks. Even though I don't like listening to rap, R&B and hip-hop, it's better than MTV, since MUSIC Television doesn't even play music, just fucked up "reality" shows.
