Shut Down, BET

I hate BET.

Now you're probably thinking "Charles X, every blog has already addressed the hoochie-ism of BET!"

Yes, but that is not what I am talking about. Tell me why whenever I'm being my nocturnal self, browsing television late at night all I see on BET is scammin' ass preachers claiming that MIRACLE SPRING WATER or MAGIC PRAYER HANKERCHIEFS will solve people's problems?

Don't get me wrong, the programs are HILARIOUS! My personal favorite is Kerney Thomas (shoutout to Sterl (the one leaving ALL the crazyass anonymous comments)).

Who watches Kerney Thomas? If you do, you are my best friend! Let me tell yall about Sterl's father, Kerney Thomas. Kerney starts talkin' about these prayer hankerchiefs that will solve poor black folk's problems if they send him a donation n shit. Then his co-signin' ass wife comes and says "Yes! Mhm. Shole does" to every other word he says, lookin and actin like Tina Knowles.

Then it's one of the best parts! He receives phone calls that usually go like this

Caller: Yes, laaaaaaawd, Kerney I don't know what to do!

Kerney: Don't tell me....something bad is happenin in your life, woman. You need the guidance of JESUS!

Caller: Yes...I need the Lord, Kerney.

Kerney: DON'T TELL ME... there's been a pain...you've had it for years now! AM I TALKIN TO THE RIGHT PERSON?

Caller: You're right! I just been fired from my job.

Kerney: Right...the Lord told me that! Let us pray...Lawd please help this woman get a job...RO CO CO CO SHO SHANNAH! And to finally realize that GODDDDDDDDDDDD is the way HO TO NO CO CO SHA DAH!

*hangs up on caller*

Theeeeeeen they go to video of Kerney in churches "healing" people... and usually it's poor half-retarded black people with half of their teeth and half can't speak English.

That's the thing... all of this is to take advantage of poor black people who cling to the idea of Christianity for hope...which is a whole 'nother issue. The point is that BET not only degrades African Americans during the day with 106 & Coon, it manages to fulfill its duties 24/7!

OMG, one time on Kerney they had this one bitch (yes, bitch, Marz, dont worry males are bitches too) who said she bought her prayer handkerchief and her ex-husband got shipped off to Egypt for 10 years. LMAO!!! That is not Christian to have a vengeful spirit like this! By the way, all of this can be verified on his wikipedia site.

Anyways...

Who is dendesigns? I accidentally fell asleep and left my AOL up so I missed your IM. I think they are from here b/c they referred to me as "X". Don't be shy to IM me, I love when blog people talk to me! Shout out to Bobby Brown, Marz, Shawn QT with his sexy... and the fabTrent Jackson!

Um so I really am going to NYC and my mama aint gon say nothin b/c I'm grown. Real life friends: who is coming with me? Blog friends: who am I going to meet?

I started a new job today. I will post about it tomorrow. But um... it's interesting.
