#1 Dear BET. From what I've seen a lot of urban black teens have a bigger problem that interfere with work.

#2 Read, write, articulate something like standard English. Asians have mastered that. Probably around a million Chinese are doing that while we converse. The Donks and their Teachers Unions seem to figure in there. Get a clue. Keep voting Donk, reap the 'benefits'.

#5 BET began intending to show uplifting programs about black cultural and business and sports achievements. It turned out that musical videos and shows about entertainers getting divorced, being arrested, etc. were the ones that got good ratings. Since they show about 5 times as much of the latter as the former, a lot of blacks have criticized them constantly. BET, instead of folding and doing what would be PC basically kept doing what they were doing and making money.
