One thing that boggles me is how BET (Black Entertainment Television) can be possible. the is no WET (White Entertainment Television) or HET (Hespanic Entertainment Television). I try to be fair. I try to think of it as, what if there was a "WET". It would cause an uproar. BET Comes across with some things like "The Black Carpet" and dont get me wrong, i am white, i love rap, and all other kinds of music. And i am in no way trying to be racist. Open to opinions.....

i guess that is pretty weird. where is my HET man? i doubt thats going to happen and WET is defintely not going to happen. when people hear white entertainment that sets an automatic racism switch in the mind. People will think of it having the KKK and stuff like that. I dont think that would happen though because i know not all white people are like that. sorry man.

BET is just supporting black celebrities because you don't see many other television stations playing black artists music. don't get me wrong, MTV does but not that much.
I get what you r saying. someone can come up with a WET or HET.

"HET" is actually called "SiTV", though it's not widely available. Look around you on virtually every other channel & you'll see "WET" all day & night. "BET" also isn't really as Black as they'd have you believe, right down to the programming. Just because you see Black faces on their station, as Bob Marley once put it: "DON'T LET 'EM FOOL YA...OH NO!"
