If some of you are determined to correct BET's broadcast schedule then there are several things in and among yourself that you will need to organzie.

It is not enough to be discontented with BET and proceed with anti BET rhetoric. If you want this company to change you must admit to yourself first that you are willing to appreciate the role that BET plays in the advancement of our people and you are willing to support the entity not as something that should comply to your particular demands but for the sake of communicating and sharing information throughout all our communities.

As such ask yourself a few questions and allow someone who is reallys erious about these issues to calculate that information.

I understand that all of you are passionate about this- but passion doesnt make for good ammunition.

ask yourself who you are- and why should BET care- if the answer is cuz Im Black; then consider the fact that BET offers plenty of Black people jobs and airtime to the delight and entertainment of even more Blacks- and you still dont appreciate them no matter how Black they may be. You may hope for BET to answer to your Blackness but seeing as you're not very appreciate of other portrayals of Blackness you're dimishing your own argument.

The solution is this- assess what it is that each of you are looking for in BET and what it is that you are already getting.

Simple questions.

How much BET do you watch- daily, weekly, etc.
When do you typically watch BET?
What do you watch on BET?
What are you looking for on BET?
Do you watch the commercials on BET?
How long have you been watching BET?
What is your favorite BET show and why?
What is your least favorite BET show?
What other television media do you watch regularly?

finally- name 10 BET shows.

give it a try please- the road to change doesnt always have to start off with opposing the status quo.
