Well looks like BET has landed themselves with hot water. On October 10th there was a Justice or Else March in Washington D.C. The march itself was wonderful and went off without a hitch. There were no riots, no ratchetness, no drama what so ever. However like always the media never wants to show black people doing something positive. No cover from FOX, ABC, NBC, only TV One and Centric.

But strangely enough one of the networks that should’ve been there doing coverage was BET. You would think that with the channel being aimed at the black audience would love to do coverage on this. But no, they were no where to be found.

This shameful action didn’t go unnoticed however because black twitter definitely took to social to call out BET on their bull crap. So much so the the hastag #BoycottBET was formed in order to get people to protest against BET. This seems to have worked however as the view for the BET Hip Hop Awards were cut in half. Views went from 2.9 million to 1.8 million. The network tried to defend themselves by saying that there was coverage on the website but according to the user comments, it wasn’t enough.

All I have to say is, sucks to be BET! They should’ve known the reaction they were going to get when they didn’t broadcast this. Serves them right, in all honesty either BET needs some serious revamping or it just needs to be taken off the air completely. We’re more than just ratchet television shows. All BET shows are the same sitcoms and the same movie OVER AND OVER AGAIN like it’s going out of style!

To BET: If you want your viewers back, MAKE BETTER CONTENT!
