The Black Entertainment Television network, AKA BET, is celebrating it’s 30th anniversary — but has the network helped Blacks move forward or has it only succeeded in moving the community backward???

More when youCNN ran an interesting story on BET today making an argument that the network is evolving, with the acquisition of shows like “The Game” and their new channel Centric as examples.

BET co-founder Sheila Johnson recently told The Daily Beast that she is ashamed of the network she and ex-husband Bob Johnson started.

She slammed BET for, in her opinion, promoting promiscuous, irresponsible sexual behavior.“I just really wish — and not just BET but a lot of television programming — that they would stop lowering the bar so far just so they can get eyeballs to the screen,” she said.

What do you think??? Is BET doing enough to change? Is “The Tiny and Toya Show” really that shining example of positivity they’re trying to make it out to be? How about “The Game”? Does resurrecting a canceled CW favorite redeem BET from years of degradation and misogyny???
