Avoid 'Hot Ghetto Mess'--Whatever it's Called

I thought it was awful and just plan embarrassing. A show that I thought would have some comedic relief was a poor excuse for ignorance. I’ll never watch it again.

Look who owns BET. They do not have an vested interest in the community. I have not seen it but I am not surprised. BET has been going in this directions for years.

Helllllooo?

Been there.. Done that. Remember Spike Lee's Bamboozled??

Where was everybody when good ole' Bob Johnson and spouse sold BET on the slave auction block to Viacom? Yeah they got more money than "god" for 'their invention', but dang....they could of sold it to a group of investors ie. FOLKS who would've tried to continue the original concept.

I put a parental block on the entire channel at my home. I am embarrased everytime I pass the BET location in Washington DC.

Well who wrote it and offered it up as entertainment?
Viacom does own BET but producers,writers and actors are also responsible for the projects the help to create.Not all feel a responsibility to community and some may still think it's really funny.
Watch PBS.

Its very sad me being the age of 17, that i can see this is true ignorance coming from a group or program that claims to be all for the black society and quick to throw up defenses when they feel the WHITE MAN is making a mockery of our race. Now I look at BET as a joke. For them to put up programs like that, dont make them any better than the ones they claim to stand against. They are as ignorant as the ones they try to make their points across to as being a strong black race. But to stand against ignorance by acting ignorant, they make it difficult for the on lookers to tell the difference of whose the ignorant one. BET has just let their guard down. And I dont believe anything they say anymore when it comes to the defense of the black community.

Ithink that everyone has taken hgm out of context. It supposed to be funny and if people weren't ignorant enough to do some of the things that they do (like condoms on the head) then we wouldn't have anything to make fun of them about. They are not just making fun of black people they include all races. Face it america we are not a country of perfect people even though we would like to think that we are.

YEAH,we screw up and yes we do need to do better and yes this whole world is one HOT GHETTO MESS!!!!!

I guess HGM was being aired for the black ignorant people of our race who would backstab their brother or sister with their sometimes house slave mentality.
I havent watched this program HGM and based on the majority of comments, it would have been just another one of these network shows that is a waste of TV air time. (just like Bobby Brown and that other idiot show with Flavor Flav).
I guess I should ask? What age group was this show geared for? Here we have, supposedly, one black major network and everytime I turn it on late at night I see booties shaking as if they just walked off of Times Square.
Ever since they took Tavis Smiley off the time slot I use to watch, BET has nothing to offer me anymore. The only thing worth watching was Comic View or Gospel but then that might have been hypocritical too.

I grew up during the era when I had to wait for Saturday to watch any animation programs,when the FCC was more stringent on what was shown on the air. (Just to give you an idea of my age range). It just goes to show you as a people offline we still put the ignorance in the driving seat online. They might as well run Amos and Andy or StepinFetch shows if this is what their programming staff is all about. Yeah Right!!!! What they should show for comedy is re-runs of Richard Pryor, Flip Wilson, Redd Fox and more.

Not even on the regular networks can anyone come up with any positive creative brand spanking new ideas. Even these reality shows with people trying to survive was a shake my head gesture. I hope we get it right soon because we've had plenty of time since Martin Luther King passed.

It wasn't funny! It was an embarrassment to everyone in the room. Although Charlie Murphy's getting paid to host the show, it appears as if he's uncomfortable hosting it. I'm sure BET can find something better to air. I agree with the comment posted by J. Hutchinson, show re-runs of Flip Wilson, anything else but that mess.
