YOU are better than that. That nonsense you call "keeping it real" or "just being me" needs to change. PRONTO! I think half the people out here THINK they being themselves, but really aren’t.

But as for Toccara, if that's just her personality (which I don't think it is, because like I said, I watched her on Top Model) then I'm just not a fan. But as for TV, I don't think being yourself is the goal- getting viewers to watch the show is the goal. If every host at BET just happens to be a true coon, then that's pretty convenient for BET.

If a guy is a murderous rapist and his name is John; then he changes his name to Mike the content of his character is all of a sudden not murderous? Changing the name while not changing the content only servers to hoodwink and try to appease the critics, and cover their own ass, in so far as the title being a targeted; but the content is still trash – not to mention the title now bieng grammatically incorrect. www.blackperspective.net.

After all, the Black Entertainment Network has provided a seemingly endless platform for hip-hop thuggery, booty-shaking video girls, lowbrow comedy shows, and Toccara." Why they have to do Toccara like that?! LOL! From a recent AP article

LOL. Plus, don't be fooled. I'll believe BET is serious about a healthy communitywide evaluating discussion when they change at least half their programming. Fred, I was thinking the SAME THING!
