Unconfirmed Report- BET Might have Pulled " Hot Ghetto Mess"
Saturday, July 14, 2007 at 4:30PM The Blogmother
I'll believe it when I read about it on the AP, but the site Hip Hop DX is saying the show has been pulled. Y'all know how internet rumors get started, but I am guardedly optimistic.
UPDATE (7/14): Still waiting. Latrice the young lady who has been running a petition since January to get Hot Ghetto Mess pulled indicated that she had also gotten an e-mail.
The cynic in my says that BET is just trying to fake us out to make it past the Television Critics Association panel on Sunday.
UPDATE(7/14): I just read an article that said we get 18000 hits a day. Dear Lord NO! That would be a nightmare! We have had a TOTAL of 18000 hits as of yesterday. I fully expect to go back to normal this time next week.

that's wonderful if it's true!!!!
I hope and pray it is.
Well I am going to check out for the rest of the day. If one of y'all gets confirmation from an independent source, drop me a line.
I will think BET is trying to fake us out until I get some independent confirmation about this.
I will not be watching this show, in fact, I'm going to sign the petition. This show is being hosted by CHARLIE MURPHY????? The same Charlie Murphy who co-wrote that trashy and UNFUNNY show with his brother - Norbit. Norbit showed so much contempt and hatred for heavy set, dark skinned black women, all couched in the house-mammy-ain't-i-funny plot that is oh-so-tired.
I believe that black women have got to take better care of ourselves and watch our weight because of the related health issues that come with that. But the concept of this show and the mocking and shaming of black women and men is done out of maliciousness and hatred, pure and simple, not out of a spirit of motitivating black women and men to "do better". They have a lot of goddamn nerve telling US we've got to do better when BET execs and 90% of the crack rappers who became multi millionaires off of selling "tales of the hood" to white folks! Where are all these millionaires when it comes time to give back to the communities, or sponsor a kid from the inner city or setting up camps in the country for the kids in the summer? We are the only race of people that EXPLOITS THE PATHOLOGIES AND SICKNESSES OF OUR PEOPLE FOR WHITES AND OTHERS FOR FINANCIAL GAIN! How SICK is that!?
I notice that both Charlie Murphy and his brother have hatred for dark skinned black women and if you're overweight, that is a double whammy. It's like to them, black women are a side show where movies and comedies and jokes can be made insulting us, but because black men are the ones doing the insulting, it's okay. I DON'T THINK SO. When black men start dragging white women through the mud and the ringer, then we can let them get carte blanche with us, until then HELL NO. Why on earth would anyone co-sign or support ANYTHING that the Murphy brothers are taking part in? On BET? You've got to be kidding me! I HOPE THIS UTTER, DISGUSTING TRASH NEVER MAKES IT TO TELEVISION!
This is the systemic abuse by BET and Viacom on the black American community. Then again if black parents were more proaciv in blocking BET they wouldn't be on the air. I dont care if Oprah goes on the one or 2 shows thata re decent-if those shows aren't standing up the other 98% bad and racist programs then they also should not be supported.
OT: I don't know if this falls under the concerns of this site, but

This SOB released the sex videotape of UNDERAGED GIRLS. ....without Blacking out their faces.
Do you think he would have released a sex videotape of UNDERAGED WHITE GIRLS - period?
Let alone not blacking out their faces?
I think not.

I agree.
And I think they really need to stop it with these rape charges for teenage black boys and their peers. I think that a 17 yr old with a 15 yr old is a lot different than say, an 11 yr old. If it wasn't forced, than it sounds like a job for their parents.
I'm sure there are a lot of other legitimate crimes these prosecutors can spend time and money on.
Hello What About Our Daughters,
I applaud all the corporate sponsors who have wisely decided to withdraw their financial support from a show that will do more harm than good.
Only a bad wind refuses to change directions. Surely, the executives at BET can do a better job than they have in times past.
Being innovative and creative enough to begin something new may be difficult but it's not impossible.
