New BET CEO
by Norman Robinson
njrob38@comcast.net


Last week everyone cheered the new CEO of BET even I became caught up in the emotion of such a classy award show ran by black people rewarding black achievement. But I began to think mid-clap why should I applaud. Is Mrs. Lee the answer to the decline in black social morality that is represented 6 days a week on BET? Is she bringing back an Ed Gordon or will black America continue to be represented by the likes of Vida the “Toon Hood Rat”. How can we as a people celebrate the progression of wealth and success (not meaning that one justifies another) of African Americans in entertainment industry and at the same event applaud a continuum of social degradation at the hands of people that resemble you and I. When are we going to push for a more positive image to be portrayed in media? Such a request should not be even thought of but it seems that in this “Bling-Bling” Era our Corporate Executive brothers and sisters have been blinded choosing money over morality.
