    “Paramount wants roughly 10 times the BET Group’s current $325 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, according to sources.”

    Talk about price gouging. I hope Tyler is successful eventhough his shows are getting worse and worse.

    My thoughts exactly. I’m not a fan of his content but I find myself rooting for this brother in this instance.

    Will Atlanta Be The Home Of "Black Hollywood"?​

    To dissect this question I ask is any iteration of Hollywood a good thing? I ask that because we know the devilish things those perverted Jews do up in those hills. I’m not sure I have the answer but I will say that I hope that “Black Hollywood” is a more fair and less evil medium for black entertainers. Especially up and coming entertainers.

    He is consistent and we know what to expect. I would 2nd 50 Cent because he has good programming and I think Revolt shows us what to expect of Diddy.

    Well private equity is funding the deal so it’ll most likely be white Hollywood in black face. But the black face is the agent with a white principal rather than both agent and principal being white and the employees being the Black faces.

    Agent being Executives
    Principals being shareholders

    Amazing point. You’re basically highlighting the barackification of Hollywood in a sense. Same low down degeneracy coming from a new face.

    Damn shame, I was surprised when I heard he had already purchased it.. now they’re trying to play him.

    BET shouldn't have been sold in the first place.
    It was as valuable asset making money.
    Furthermore, you don't sell your community's biggest voice.
    But be that as it may, we have an opportunity to get some control back.
    Diddy was interested and he has a mixed record of black empowerment.

    I wish Diddy would do better. I've seen too many shenanigans with him. I hope BET moves in a positive direction.

    Interesting . I wonder why extra roadblocks were put in the way.
    It doesn’t appear as if there are extra roadblocks, it appears as if his purchase was prematurely announced. Now he wants to finish the transaction and it is not going as fast as the news cycle.

    I agree it should not have been sold. I love to see great shows when I do watch TV.

    Can’t stand Tyler Perry. The void in communication, and the need for propagation of social mores in our community should be targeting our children. FBA little boys & girls need positivity confidence, & educational programming made available to them. They need to see themselves playing together, working together $ ultimately living together so that we can move beyond the endless “Little Fv<King Mermaid”, James Bond scenarios that pop up. There are dozens & dozens of Black animators out there, but I suspect Hell will freeze Over before he dares to promote positive images to our children. He is way more concerned with being a feminist Icon.
