BET founder is ashamed of what the Newtwork has become.

5th i'm not sure how old you are (don't take that as an insult/jab),but BET WAS actually good T.V. at one point.

So today she must be extremely proud of her baby, right?

nahh man, it was always a video channel.
im 28, so i remember watching video soul and all that.
 
Who's old enough to remember ''Teen Summit?''

...and if you sell your daughter to a group of rapists, you're not allowed to cringe at her screams when they gangbang her.

Bob Johnson isn't ashamed of @%%% - he cashed out and doesn't give two %*%$# about what's on that network...

...c'mon now, who'd you think ''Pierre'' from ''Bamboozled'' was supposed to be?

Oh ok I see you 5th.
I guess I was talking about the quality of music as opposed to the network itself.
The vids weren't bad at all back then.^^^^^Yeah ILL I definitely remember Teen Summit.I actually knew one of the Teen Summit dancers.
 
Has he watched the network lately? It's just a bunch of tv shows. BET was far more embarrassing when they were showing those ridiculous music videos all day a couple of years ago.

Bob Johnson is like four years too late with this criticism.

With a steady dose of Jamie Foxx, Everybody Hates Chris, and The Game, this is best BET has been in years.

If you call re-runs of failed T.V. shows "good t.v."

Seriously, I'd rather watch videos than re-runs of Jamie !%@#*% Foxx show

I'll take re-runs over the buffoonery they were showing in the mid 2000's every time.
 
the money he earned took the place of the guilt over what he was doing
now that he has had time to reflect coupled with being even less redeeming
he may be upset with himself

Except you're wrong.
BET has lost tons of money. Why do you think they cancelled all of their original shows?

Because they can't afford to fund them anymore genius. 

Newsflash....when businesses are profitable...they expand... When they're losing money....they downsize. Like how BET took all of its shows off the air.

I take it you're not an MBA.....

And what did Bob think was going to happen when he sold BET to a group of rich white men? #comeonson Don't try to pretend you care now. You sold out your company to get rich. Period.

How'd she get her money in the first place?

The company has to make back their investment+ more . they give people what they want
