Black Music Awards? - never heard of that
Miss Black America - once again, our beautiful black women were being shunned by the mainstream
Never listened to the Tom Joyner show - watched his t.v. show once - hated it!
And come on you going to tell me you don't watch the soooooooooul train? lol
What about In Living Color - you know that show was funny as hell - gave Jim Carey is big break - remember Fire Marshall Bill - let me show ya somethin'!  |
and i don't see any of the things i mentioned as serious problems. the republic will stand.
if there's not enough black entertainment, i have no problem creating BET. everyone should have programming geared towards them. and plenty of white people watch it too. my only problem is if i bought VH1 and renamed it 'White Entertainment Televison', it wouldn't even make it on the air. same thing with the awards shows, and comedy.
i've never watched 'soul train', but i was a pretty huge 'in living color' fan. i actually did my 'homey the clown' thing for a teenager i work with the other day, and she looked at me like i was retarded. speaking of which, i think 'handi-boy' was my favorite.
