What did you think about the BET Hip-Hop Awards show?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta’s own T.I. and Ludacris opened the awards show that aired Thursday night, and the atmosphere turned out to be as much Barack Obma rally as awards ceremony.
What were the highlights (or lowlights) for you?
• The show: Festivities turn into Obama rally | Photos | Winners
• Red carpet: Fashion rules the day | Photos | Video | Best accessory?

Looked like an audition for a tarzan movie. The chimps are voting for Obama simply because he’s black.

The BET awards are only for black people. Racialy charged??? Yes. Why shouldn’t we have a WET (White Entertainment) or AET (Asian Entertainment)? Why souldn’t we have a White History Month, Hispanic History Month, Asain History Month, or Indian History Month? Answer: because black culture continues to distance and seperate from “American” culture with crap like BET,NAACP, Black History and United Negro College Fund. The opposite from what Dr. King had envisioned.
