OT - Maaaann... Fugg da stripper "Pole" Train awards...

Ayy yo,

In my honest and most humble opinion last night's airing of the Soul Train awards is the best example I can give at to why I don'****ch Black award shows anymore and why I wouldn't let my children watch them as well.  Atleast three songs on the program were sung about sex - not alluding to "it" or hinting at "it" but directly about what goes on when two people have sex and of course how good the singer is at it. ...please...
 
What?!  Ya boy, Double_Ayy is now a prude?  Never dat, pimpin!  Never dat.  But let's keep it real folks...

One so-called "performance" was filled with all the pumpin', gyratin', and thrustin' that should've been saved for the Go-Go bars.  All of that and the chick still couldn't sing!  I know, I know...  XES indeed sells but after seeing all of that last night is there any we wonder why America still has no respect for Blacks and see us as horny animalistic *****es and hoes. (SMDH)

I'm deeply disappointed.   Don Cornelius is probably still cussing Debra Lee and Bob Johnson out right now.  Holla atcha boy...

So true.  Heck, I was about to light up a cigarette after watching a portion of it

Yeah and much later the camera panned to that sista, sitting beside her mom like she didn't just get up on stage a few moments ago and did what she did.  I guess it starts in the home.  Skan-duh-lust! 

 i concur D..i couldn't stomach it for more than ten minutes..

Word.  It was sad.  Plain and simple.

And the light hearted banter between Taraji P. (who could get it by the way ... Yessir) and T. Howard was just too sickening to sit through. 

Yes, I watched it. Had high hopes since two of my favorite actors were hosting it....but alas... I was disapointed for sure. Even fell asleep on the last portion of it. The only part I thought was good was Beyonce accepting her award from Russia!....that part was pretty funny! 

ETA: When I posted my reminder...I was into the first 10 minutes....it went down hill from there! The little skit with Terrence crying at everything was funny too. 

 @ Had high hopes since two of my favorite actors were hosting it....but alas... I was disapointed for sure.

See...  In my opinion therein lies another problem.  Did we really need two hosts?  I mean seriously.  I'd rather see a well known comic (Lawd, pleeeeease not Steve Harvey.  He can't host everything black now can he?) rather than two actors trying to BE funny.  We've got to do better people.

Yeah...I was just focused on the fact that I like BOTH Terrence and Taraji.....thought the chemistry would work....it wasn't enough to pull it off.

I agree...with the sexual overtone and "off the wall" humor.....If Michael Jackson himself came out on stage....it would have not been enough to save this show. 

Back to my BET abstinence!     

   @ If Michael Jackson himself came out on stage....it would have not been enough to save this show. 

So true.  So true.  The editing sucked, the skits were silly, and I finally figured out that Keith Sweat can't read from a telepromter all that well. 

TOTAL buffoonery!!!!  No WONDER white folks have a hard time taking us seriously!!!!!

What WHITE awards show does chit like that????  NONE!!!!!

I only turned to it when I saw MD's reminder- wish I had stayed blissfully ignant that it was even on!!!
