Hot Ghetto Greed?
According to Racewire, "Black" Entertainment Television is producing a show based on the popular website "Hot Ghetto Mess" which basically exploits pictures of black people looking foolish to make money.
Folks, however, are starting to grumble about it and some advertisers have begun pulling out!
Trying to quell the potential backlash, B.E.T. is spinning it this way:
"Hot Ghetto Mess" is an entertaining, tongue-in-cheek examination of the good, the bad and the ugly of Black popular culture.
Utilizing comedy, man-on-the-street interviews, video clips, pictures and music, “Hot Ghetto Mess” aims to shine a spotlight on prevalent images in pop culture and examine what role they play in American lifestyle.
“Hot Ghetto Mess” goes where most shows fear to tread.As host Charlie Murphy guides viewers through shaking booties, thug life, baby-mama drama and pimped-out high schoolers, “Hot Ghetto Mess” will explore what these images really mean to all of us.
Jack and Jill Politics does a fine job dissecting the real reason this show is going forward?
