So I was watching the BET Awards because I wanted to see what type of tribute they were going to do to MJ. Why? There is a reason that I never watch that show and I was reminded why on Sunday night. In general the show is always a mess. My inner snob is coming out but it is always ghetto! Folks have clothes half on, the cursing (not talking about you Eddie LeVert!) and the "bling." I mean really T Pain and his "Big Ass Chain" necklace all iced out and the fool came out with a cup in his hand. Who comes out on stage to accept an award with a cup in his hand? I can only imagine what was in it. And why do so few black folks seem to know how to speak proper English?
Another thing that I found beyond tacky was Joe Jackson. Your son just died and you are walking the red carpet talking about your new record label. Then you sit through the whole damn show! WTF?!?!?! Take a page from your daughter Janet. She showed up at the end and thanked everyone for their well wishes and condolences and called it a day. I always knew Joe was an ass.
All in all I BET I won't be watching another BET Awards show. At least a fight didn't break out this year- or is that the Source Awards? Black folks get it together. We have so moved pass the Good Times mentality!
