I am a little disgruntled today. That is pretty hard to do because I consider myself a cool, collected and positive gent. (though some would disagree but who cares about THEM?) But today I have to vent just a little.

Growing up as a youngin from the burbs of Union City, California there were a few things that I could always count on. One was that my mom would definitely be asking me if I had eaten yet, even if she had seen me JUST polish off a plate of food. I could also count getting into crazy adventures with a great group of friends. Another one was that I would NOT be missing my favorite shows that came on BET. That was a no-no, something that I just didn’t do.

You see. For millions for kids (ALL kids, not just black, cause we ALL watched, don’t front) growing up in the mid-90′s all around the nation, BET served as a symbol of the limitless possibilities that could exist for black men and women out there in the realm of news and entertainment.
