BET AWARDS 2008 - Live From The Red Carpet (Sharon Carpenter

[IISourAyyII]

shes madd pretty!

[LootableCorpse]

LoL targeted Entertainment for a particular race of the community is soo fkin American.

Imagine a Whiteman Entertainment Tv station only for white ppl, where black actors/actrices would not be welcome ... why would that be racist but this Black Tree and BET not be racism?

[EUJO80]

i love her voice and her face. unbelevable

[Geezyone]

I love hearing lovely Sharon talk

[weezybaby772]

im black and the kid under me is kinda rite but it already is a show like that it only hosts white people

[blacktreemedia]

weezybaby - the kid is wrong, u are right, there are plenty of award shows that excludes blacks in its nominations, performances, presenters, etc... Robin Thicke was just nominated for an award a year ago, I think he may have won. But the point is, that it is not just for Black people, but it is a glimpse into what many consider 'Black Culture'. The fact that it is the highest rated awards show on cable television should speak for its diversity. Is it the word Black that makes it racist?!

[weezybaby772]

naw itsz not the word itsz just the way people use it like oh look at that blackk kidd or look at that nigga white people are startin to use the word nigga but me i dont care as long as the r in it isnt used

[blacktreemedia]

weezybaby772 - so how would you say that the kid under you was correct to label a show like BET as racist? And does BlackTree Media fall under the same umbrella. Please help me to understand what about either is racist.

[weezybaby772]

...well first off bet isnt really racist there just tryna make a show for the blackk people since the white government pretty much have control over the whole usa but they cant take that right from bet beccuz bet say no racial commentsz that disrespectsz the white people or any comment about them period

[AliceTeMiha]

Black people rule!!!!!!!!!!

[Tetzukai]

@AliceTeMiha Some

[Michael121307]

BET is a RACIST SHOW,only for blacks! what if you put up a White Awards, and blacks are not included, then people will start saying its a RACIST issue and start fighting.

[jamespsherwood]

Unless you've got your head buried in the sand im sure you'll be quite aware how UNREPRESENTATIONAL mainstream television is, so of course minorities are goin to create their own content which they can identify with... look at the Asian Bollywood industry! Also BET is not for blacks only; plenty of other artists of differing ethnicity have have appeared on... its whether they can appeal/relate to those interested in black culture

[Demngurl]

You are right..but yer who knows why...it's mainly black show...

[HARLEMKNIGHTTV1]

EMINEM AND JUSTIN WIN BET AWARDS

[HARLEMKNIGHTTV1]

BET DO FOR BLACKS WHAT MTV DO FOR WHITES

[HARLEMKNIGHTTV1]

SO U WRONG IDIOT !

[HARLEMKNIGHTTV1]

WE NEED 100 MORE BET'S THAN ITS EVEN

[mykalroze]

Are you white? There already are plenty of white shows that, by default, already exclude blacks. And there are other "minorities" than just blacks. They're largely excluded, too. BET came to be because "mainstream" American shows were focused primarily on whites and white audiences. It wasn't too long ago, when minorities were seriously marginalized in mainstream entertainment, that is, if they were represented at all. If earlier shows would give minorities regular exposure, there'd be no BET.

[blackmask2007]

MTV ass hole

[enferno00]

@Michael121307 You do have a white award show it is called the COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS lol,and mtv use to be that way until michael jackson came along.

[Rosario21]

Her accent sounds fake.

[Lamon226]

Since I'm a man,being better looking than me is something that S.Carpenter has going for her(pick your chin up from the floor)LOL!All I'm saying is that it's a shame that a job that should've gone to a sista went to a non-black.Think logically,what is a non-black doing on a BLACK Entertainment show? Black peoples' employment opportunities are limited on tv to begin with. As a black person,I'm totally offended by this action!If you're not black no need to respond to me.You'll never understand!

[Studd008]

You must be homosexual

[Lamon226]

Nope I'm not gay. Never have been. Just tired of seeing my black women disrespected. S. Carpenter took a job away from a sista, plain and simple as that. She knows it and others at BET know it. Also, I never got caught-up by lightskinned women or the so called "next best thing" type. I'm not a superficial type of guy. I know too many other women in the industry who are beautiful,talented,smart and most importantly are black that should be on BET (BLACK, BLACK, BLACK Entertainment TV. PERIOD.

[Studd008]

you're right, sharon should be working for the half indian half white network!!

[Ocean3589]

@Lamon226 Maybe there is a problem in the black community instead of blaming Sharon you should fix your problems of seeing light skin as better and certain features as more superior.

[Lamon226]

She is a fake black girl that who she is. Sharon Carpenter is not black. She is half white and half Indian and is being paid on and by BET to fake that she is black because they think Afican American women are unworthy of being hired and so does she. Do your researh on her and you'll see. Sharon Carpenter doesn't really like black people!

[orchid01]

What a shame. Beautiful women always get their fair share of haters trying to bring them down!!! Do your research and you'll find she's a credible, accomplished reporter who's worked for the likes of CBS News. And your comment that Sharon doesn't like Black people is the most ridiculous I've ever heard!!! Why would she be working for BET!!! Hatemongers!! I tell ya!!

[Lamon226]

Now tell me why would someone who is so credible and accomplished would want to jump ship from CBS News to do 2 sec (catch me if you can)news briefs at BET???? Come on if she was that great she would still be at CBS on her little bulls**it Marketwatch program that only aired on the internet by the way. She's at BET as a last resort, not because she's so in love with black people. That's the only place her kind (someone who kind of looks black but isn't) is placed on a pedstal.

[orchid01]

What a hater!! I don't know the reason she left CBS and you don't know the reason why she left. And, upon researching this, come to find out she was on the national TV show (now cancelled) not the internet. If her news briefs are so insignificant why do you care so much about what she's doing?! Then you say she's placed on a pedestal! Make up your mind, just don't hate the girl cos she looks better than you!! LOL!!! She's hot and intelligent and has a sexy accent. Doesn't get any better

[imhotep1]

Sharon Carpenter is NOT BLACK. She is half East Indian and half white European. DO YOUR RESEARCH! She is a horrible host, asks irrelevant questions, and she only accepted this BET job after they agreed to her demands of a higher salary pay, and other benefits according to her VIBE issue.

[zelakiz]

YEEEH sharone,mell b are really representing us the black brits over there, you go girls.............and leona to............but sharon why don't you wanna come back..... you should have atlist pretended like you miss us.......lol.......come back to the rain girl come back.

[frankwallace36]

[CaesarCartiel]

[rockyfabion]

[MalcomAP]

[dontdome1]

[vic794]

I could listen to her talk all day long...

[kitonnah1988]

i watched bet awards 08! I loved keyshia cole's performance!

[vbabigirl4eva]

hi kitonnah 1988

um, i was just wondering if you happened to know if ashanti performed during the show tonight?

[bat232000]

no she didnt

[cmills7]

She was terrible. I love Keyshia to death, she's my girl, but the proformance was bad. She was out tune and out of breath. She needs to stop trying to dance and sing. Her music is slow to mid-tempo she only needs a little two-step not hard dancing. She's not Beyonce. Keyshia can really sing she doesn't need to dance. We love her for her voice!
