The BET Honors Second Annual Black Entertainment Awards

The BET Honors Second Annual Black Entertainment Awards were held in Washington DC over the weekend. Fan favorites like Ne Yo, Queen Latifah, Angela Bassett, Gabrielle Union, Monica, Star Jones, and my personal favorite Mary J Blige were in attendance.

While growing up, did you have an artist that you totally related to? Like everything they wrote make sense to you? That was Mary for me. I knew her first few albums front and back! 

And for all Ne Yo fans out there, I have some personal information about him. My old high school friend who I recently just reconnected with works for Def Jam. She's the girl that travels with the artists and makes sure they keep on their schedules and are "happy" at all times. Ne Yo is one of her responsibilities and she says he is the nicest person. Totally unaffected, doesn't abuse staff, truly grateful and a great person to be around... even after a 15 hour flight. I thought that was nice to hear considering I LOVE him. Just wanted to pass the word around.

Why are there all black shows? Why do white folk HAVE to involve blacks when it is obviously a DOUBLE STANDARD!!! All white all the time sounds wonderful to me too!

There would be rioting in the streets if white folk only had "White Entertainment Awards".

I've always said we should have a WET show, but can you imagine the rioting and law suits that would come out of that. And why can't we also have a White Miss America?

Agree fully with the double standard comments above. Something has to change. Screaming for equality and segregating yourself with "special" awards, shows, networks doesn't work.

I agree that the special treatment has to stop, but to go so far to say that it's called the white house for a reason is just asinine. Apparently you're racist?!

Love ne-yo, (so cute!!) and his song "Miss Independant" (and I'm an old white woman) I tell my teen girls to listen well to the words, they are great!

And to the racist idiots above me, you will never understand so just sit and stew in your hatred. The rest of us will enjoy the world, and all the beautiful people in it

First of all let me set the record straight I dare you torment our president .He is not only African American (BLACK) but he is also Caucasian (WHITE).You have to be the most ignorant, selfish and dumbest human beings on earth to put BET down because have giving us BLACKS something that we can call our own. Not only that I have seen BET bring WHITES to the show as well. Because I am a GODLY woman, I am not going to say what I won’t to say to you unhappy people. Yes, BLACKS have overcome many obstacles starting with slavery. Yet, and still we have overcome just as our very on never will be forgotten historians has fight endless days and some has put their lives on the line for us to be in the place we are today. (examples for you dummies are:Dr Martin Luther King Jr ,Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Booker T Washington, Fredrick Douglas , Madame CJ Walker. and many more that will not be forgotten and has been a major influence of today’s accomplishment to have our very own BLACK African American President “Barrack Obama”(FYI Barack Obama has a beautiful WHITE mother ) who through it all chosen to embrace and marry our beautiful(BLACK) First Lady “Michelle Obama” (GOD BLESS YOU and WE LOVE YOU).Now just because I am a fair Black woman I give my hats off to Abraham Lincoln whom you know is WHITE (GOD Bless his soul) has helped contribute to fight for freedom. There are other WHITES that has played a major role to fight freedom as well (Thank You). It was hard, yet through it all “WE MADE IT” no matter what you have done too keep us down, “WE SURVIVED”. To think, that I normally would not respond or even input to such ignorant comments, but you have pushed the wrong bottoms. Now, let’s talk about the truth, the truth of where your ignorant commit come from. Yes, some of your parents has not forgotten and will not live down with the fact that “WE ARE FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD OH MIGHTY, WE ARE FREE AT LAST. (Dr .Martin Luther King) their ignorant teaching in bringing you as a child has inspired you to say the stupid comment that you said on this website. Now through all the trails and tribulations that BLACKS has been through we still after becoming wealthy and famous has opened our heart to different nationalities and some of us has chosen to marry or commit out of our race. Please by no means am I trying to offend anyone whom married or committed out of our race but I am keeping it real and trying to prove a point. The difference in us (BLACKS) is that we have been taught to forgive but not to forget. There are so many BLACK wealthy people in this world that has overcalm many racist obstacles and yet has not only giving back to BLACKS but they have bless all nationalities examples(Oprah Winfrey ,Tyler Perry, Denzel Washington ,Will Smith and many more that I could name but there is not enough room on this web page. Now to calm my nerves and sum this up to all of you that has a problem with BLACKS, Yes “ WE MADE IT.” and “NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER” (Isaiah 54:17). “WE NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE IT” without JESUS, and though him we continue to “BE BLESSED (the capital terms are gospel songs that BLACK artist singers, they have inspired me though it all to “KEEP THE FAITH” and “NO MATTER WHAT, YOU ARE GOING THOUGH REMEMBER GOD IS USING YOU , FOR THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, IT’S THE LORDS. Through this I can’t help but to say “IT IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE NAME JESES” it is the sweetest thing I know. May GOD bless our souls?If you guy was not so dum you would know that BET is not a all black show it is a black christain based channel.Please take the time to look at the channel before you make commits about something you really dont know about?To be honest you WHITES had a jump start to be on top of the world yet you still let us BLACKS past you and end up and the WHITE HOUSE.That just proves that even though WHITES do not like to admitt that BLACKS were the creative ones, that got you WHITES were you are at now and we just did not get credit for it because of slavery WHITES stole BLACKS inventions and claimed them for theri own.Trust me if WHITES were as smart as they are put out to be their would not be so many BLACK successful people in the world today let alone to make it in the WHITE HOUSE (ooops)I didnt have to go their but oh well you disrespected my President and I took that personal.

Thank you BET

The reason for the name "White House" is from the war of 1812. The White House was burned down in retaliation for the invasion and burning of Fort York in Canada. The Americans then White Washed the building in order to cover the charred damage.
Thank the British/Canadians for the name of the Presidential Residence, Thank the Americans for the reverse racial prejudice of allowing a BET awards and not a White entertainment award show.

Wow! If you plan on giving a huge educational speech to "dumb" people, you might want to try some proper english and grammar so that you yourself don't sound so dumb.
