BET is def "for us" , regardless of who owns it
And it is also "by us" to an extent, considering the network was originally created by a Black man and a Black woman - Robert and Sheila Johnson. It was bought out, but the network is literally a product of black vision and creativity .
It started off by primarily... you guessed it .... airing music videos and reruns of our favorite sitcoms . Ndnfnfnf sometimes the simple things get the job done
And, a lot of people in high positions within the company with ability to make significant impact on the network and its programming , including CEOs, have been Black - even after the buy out.
Couldn't imagine life without it
Not many channels we can turn to and see nothing but us all day if we want to.
that being said , I did also think of a possibility the network let him perform for ratings but voting committee excluded him from the actual award Noms for his provocatively "gay music" .
So liL nas isn't crazy for thinking that .
