Black Entertainment Television or Buffoons Entertain on Television?
With all the talk of social "injustice" prevalent in our mainstream vernacular, the true injustice has been the brainwashing white liberals have done on the black community. Moral and cultural degeneracy is celebrated in the black community. A black person willing to promote anything that is anti-religion, anti-American, or, to be frank, anti-common-sense will receive millions of dollars and all the fame they can handle. That is what last night's BET Awards show was: a bunch of black buffoons entertaining their white liberal masters while promoting debauchery.
We'll start on the red carpet.
Lil' Nas X, infamous for his music video where he twerks on the devil's lap, arrives in a full-blown dress.

Isn't this a great message to send to little black boys in America?
That was just the start of his antics. Later in the evening, when performing his song "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)", a ballad about him and his homosexual lover referring to each other on a first-name basis, Lil Nas X shares a sensual kiss with one of the backup dancers. Naturally, many of the Twitter sycophants lauded this performance as brave. But, there is nothing brave about being gay in 2021. Most people are perfectly accepting of alternative lifestyles nowadays, myself included. However, when heterosexual PDA is on an award show stage, there seems to be an issue. Last month at the MTV Awards, Addison Rae and her television sitcom costar Tanner Buchanan took part in some steamy PDA before announcing the winner of the Best Kiss Award. It was an obvious prelude to the award they were going to hand out (it is Hollywood, after all). Their pre-planned makeout sesh was called "gross" and made audience members “feel uncomfortable”.
Another Lil' was on the red carpet making a fool of themself.

Lil' Kim arrived draped in Dolce & Gabbana, head full of blonde weave and a face made in a doctor's office. Kim has a long history of prostituting herself to the highest bidder. Her continuous string of cosmetic surgeries and obsession with long, blonde hair reeks of self-esteem issues. Moreover, Lil' Kim has created a long line of black girls who believe Kim's path is the only avenue for success. As a result, many of today's top women in Hip-Hop are apples from the Lil' Kim tree: Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Bree Runway (whose Twitter profile reads "RIDE DA BOY FACE LIKE A YAMAHA!"), Saweetie, and countless others.
Taraji P. Henson, the host of last night's program, pushed along another narrative (excuse me, raised awareness of): mental illness.
"We see you. We need to protect our black youth and talk about mental health", Henson said as she acknowledged Naomi Osaka, the Asian tennis player who withdrew from the prestigious French Open because she failed to adhere to the guidelines of talking to the media. Under the guise of protecting her mental well-being, of course.
Some people legitimately suffer from issues such as depression and schizophrenia. However, the perpetual narrative of mental illness is a branch from the family tree of victimhood that deteriorates the black community while bolstering the pockets of big pharma executives. Having a down day? "You might suffer from depression. Here's a prescription." Do you have low self-esteem? "Here's some medication for you." Subconsciously, blacks are being led to believe their ordinary human emotions are holding them back rather than their decision-making.
The shenanigans would not be complete without some racial controversy. Kentucky native and rapper Jack Harlow, whose single "What's Poppin'" is certified 5x Platinum, is one of the most recognizable faces in Hip-Hop today. The problem is his face happens to be white. Harlow received three nominations, including the coveted award for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist. But, to no fault of his own, his success was scrutinized because of his skin color.
Just maybe, people feel Jack Harlow is more talented and has put out better content than Lil Nas X. Instead of looking at factors such as the quality of the music, some Hip-Hop fans look at Harlow's nominations through race-tinted glasses. Meanwhile, the white liberal owners of BET (ViacomCBS) probably watched and laughed at all of this, if they watched at all (I know for sure they would not allow their kids to watch this). By the way, the concept of an awards show where only blacks can win is racist, but I digress.
The BET Awards was not all bad.
Queen Latifah received a Lifetime Achievement Award and there was a good performance commemorating the late DMX.
Unfortunately, the buffoonery vastly outweighs the positive.
One last thing.
Did anyone notice the new logo for BET?
