BET Awards 2009

So, last night was the much anticipated BET Awards. I expected it to be mostly a tribute to Michael Jackson. Um, yea. Yes, they talked about MJ, yes they paid tribute to MJ but not as well as I, and most of the Black community, had hoped. I was highly disappointed in the level of straight up DONKEYNESS poppin' off last night. Here's a little synopsis:

• New Edition - are you serious? I mean the Jackson 5 steps were on point, but the singing. O Lord the singing was horrendous! Ralph get your voice together. Bobby sit down!
• Don Cornelius - was it necessary for your speech to be like 30 minutes long?
• Ciara - who the hell let you sing? Stay in your lane and get the dancing.
• Eddie Levert - leave the liquor alone
• Ving Raimes - word?
• Monica - FAB
• Jay-Z & Beyonce - HIGHLY disappointed in your actions BEHIND the scenes.
• Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Jae Mills - GHETTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
• Jamie Foxx - HILARIOUS
• BBD - Killed It!
  

That's pretty much the gist of it.
SMH...all I know is BET better do a REAL Michael tribute and it better be right!

BET Awards Racist Backlash

The lovely Liris Crosse (one of my fav models) tweeted about an article about the racist ignorant ass people voicing their displeasure with the fact that the BET awards were the top 10 trending topics on Twitter last night. Are you serious? WTF? Are Black people not allowed to talk or use Twitter? Get the f*ck outta here with that ish. Don't even get me started. Go back to the hole you crawled out of and suck on that.

Thoughts?

Finally, Young Black & Fab Reality TV

It's about dayum time there's a reality show about young, successful, educated Black people on TV. If I see one more display of ignorance at its best on VH1, BET, etc. I think I'll scream. Barack is in the White House people! We must do better. Anywho, Harlem Heights debuts tonight on BET at 10pm and I can't wait. It follows 8 young professionals doing the damn thing and being fabulous in Harlem. Its a black, hopefully non-annoying, version of The Hills. Make sure you watch, and let me know your thoughts.
