[Ya Heard is SOHH.com's official Gossip & Rumor Blog]
Earlier this week I posted a story about BET and how I was hearing whispers that there was some horizontal hatred going on over there.. Well it seems that the all black entertainment channel has responded to my allegations and I always love it when anyone extends a truth branch to clear up any and all rumors. Check out what they had to say.
BET Networks respects the power and importance of blogging, but we also believe that for the benefit of our audience, we must distinguish fact from fiction. In response to posts on SOHH.com’s Ya Heard blog and the Panache Report, Julissa is no longer on BET, and hosts Danella (BLACK CARPET), Alesha Renee (THE 5ive and BET NOW) and Jina Johnson (BET NEWS) are African American. The names of the BET shows and Rocsi's nationality as described on SOHH.com are inaccurate.
BET Networks is proud of the incredible Black women we have representing our channels – not just on our hosted shows, but on all of our specials and series across the board. From the compelling young females on Baldwin Hills to our talented judges on Sunday Best to the knowledgeable panelists we’ve had on Hip Hop vs. America, to name just a few of our shows, BET Networks has been and will continue to be committed to ensuring we have strong Black female representation on our networks.
Above all, BET Networks proudly seeks to include and explore Black women throughout the African Diaspora, as shown through the “Am I My Sister’s Keeper” segment of Hip Hop vs. America II, moderated by MC Lyte, where our brilliant all-female panel crossed complexions, ages, homelands and backgrounds.
We thank SOHH.com and all of our viewers, supporters and critics for contributing to the dynamic conversation of Black women’s roles at BET Networks and the media at large, as it is our goal to not only host and participate in this dialogue, but to also incorporate some of the solutions that come from these discussions.
Well there you have it. I would like to point out to the powers that be over at BET that we here at SOHH Ya Heard didn't start the rumor [see how now I'm trying to distance myself from this ish, LOL]. I merely pass along the dirt that I hear people talking about. Lord knows I don't need Deborah Lee on my ass. I might suddenly come up missing.
Got A Hot Tip: thestreetzalwaystalk@gmail.com
IT'S FUNNY I USED TO WORK FOR BET. We had a Crip show coming on called, "Crip Date" we took females from Blood Neighborhoods and made them wear red dresses & run through Crip Hoods and see how long it'll take before they got shot. But Deb Lee (A Paybacc Crip) Decided not to run it because she had a case on her head. I remember when Donnie Simpson (an Avalon Crip) used to through his Crip sign up after Video Soul we used to make sure the camra didn't catch it because of his clean image. Spider Loc almost got to be host of the Black Carpet, but didn't agree to the contract because they refused to change the name to "The Blu Carpet" ECG-UNIT CRIP 4 Spider Loc 4 Life.
always worried about black womens views and black men are left behind.

"78% of obese fat people in this category are African American Women." 1 in 3 black women will become obese.
Why I made those statements because they are true. I've took a look at the Department of Health and Nutrition and find these outrageous numbers to be shocking, one scientist claims if black women continue to have this attitude of big and beautiful combined with their bad eating habits, 91% of all African American women will be obese.
Monique is a terrible example for black women and I wish she would shut the hell up.
Black Women are their own downfall just like worthless niggas. Black Women ask for too much that they themseleves do not qualify, they have the shittiest attitudes, they will sabotage any form of business just to get their point across. I'm not saying all black women are this way but most black women I dated and encountered all have the similar qualities.
Black niggas, don't even pat yourselves on the back because you are no different from the igronant black women. Niggas cheat, lie, abuse their women and children, dow low homo activities, spreader of aids to black women, racist, bigoted, kill their own kind scum.
Gullyson you are right black woman lie and evrything under the sun. They be big and fat and want shemar moore. They are users and then get mad when brothas get white women. they always have a funky attitude.
its always about the image of black women and not the image of black men.
WOW!!! THIS BLACK WOMAN ISH IS CRAZY. FIRST OFF, BLACK WOMAN ARE BUILT DIFFERENT THAN MOST OTHER RACES BESIDES LATINO. Take for instance my oldest daughter. She has been stacked since she was 8 years and I'm not talking about fat. Took her for a physical and the doctor said she was over weight. I looked at him like he was crazy. First off, this doc was soooo skinny, his belt was hooked on the last hole and he's telling me that my child is overweight. She is now 14 and has a body like Serena Williams, literally. She plays sports and is beautiful and I have to keep all the grown men in check about her. I never changed what I fed her nor did I agree with the doc, or take her back to him for that matter. I started taking my kids to a black pediatrician who made it her business to study the different cultures and the differences in our body types to better understand that not all races or cultures can be put into the same category. Did you also see the study that over 70% of overweight people are HEALTHIER than their seemingly healthier skinny counterparts? Yes, it's true. Because skinny people think just because they are thin, they can eat what they want and in turn they don't watch what they eat. Fat people, yes, while being overweight is not good, they tend to watch what they eat (even if it's more than the average person eats, it's still healthier foods) more than a thinner person does.
You know I've learned to stop listening to all of these studies also because they base studies off of about 5,000 people and just say 'all' when they are done researching. You can't put all people in the same category. Yes, we are all humans, but God made us differently. He made us to adapt to our surroundings. The Chinese are thin because they need all of those people to fit in that country (just joking, but you get my point). I have to admit, I am slightly overweight, but most people can't tell because you can still see my curves and shape. But since my butt and hips are bigger than most white women's are, then some doctors would deem me severely overweight, when I am not. I have an ass, I have hips and hell all the guys I know like it. I haven't been called fat except by white doctors. And I am not saying that all people who seem overweight is not, I am just saying that not all overweight people are unhealthy or fooling themselves. I would love to be the same size I was before I had kids. But being that I was only 14 when I had my first kid, I don't really know what I would've looked like at an adult age before having kids. Hey, I still get rocked out by my husband today as I did when we first met. Just learn for yourself and do your own studies and see what comes out of it. Stop always listening to so called experts and other people who just have an opinion, do your own research and comparisons and see what you find.
Aye, get off my nigga G-UNOT Killa. Yall muthafuckaz actin like yall dont be laffin at the shit he write. That nigga funny az fuck! Deborah Lee from Paybacc Crip! LOL...

Ok first and foremost let me clarify that I am a Latin Woman that thinks what you guys are saying about your own ethnicity is a same. Instead of talking about all the bad why not focus on all the positive. There are good people and bad people in this world/blacks aren't just the only ones. As for black women being this or that, wow. Maybe these women wouldn't be this way if the men started to do the rite thing. We are all part of our enviroment and social upbringing. I blame parents for not doin' what needed to be done wit there children. I say have respect for yourself and others.
Casper88, go see somebody for your problems. Dude you are so wrong about black women. But if you truly believe what you say, ask yourself why are they so angry. Is it because they are tired of being the only working and paying all of the bills while their men play video games and sleep all day; or is it because while she is at work making a living for her and that no good nigga he is out cheating with some hood rat because the hood rat is more of his stature than his good woman; or maybe it's because she is tired of raising the kids by herself that she didn't make by herself. I mean the list can go on and on. And don't get me wrong, I am not a dummy. I know that there are women that don't even deserve to mate or procreate. There are some women that don't deserve to be treated with respect, but PLEASE STOP PUTTING ALL WOMEN IN THE SAME CATEGORY. The most noted reason why black guys go get white women is because they got some one they can play, that they can blame for all of their troubles, that will be dick-erized, (cause most black women are used to big dicks so we don't care about them) And while you think black men have it so hard in the work place, we have it ten times worst. You tell me how a man with no educational background can get that better position than that black woman that has the best degrees and experience to do the job? And my dear, black men are partially to fault for the IMAGE OF THE BLACK MAN and for the image of the black woman for that instance. We have become what we've become because of the absence of the black man. Stop mistaking independence, strength and success as having a 'funky attitude'. If our men were doing what they were supposed to, we would be at home in the kitchen, only. Instead, we are at work and still in the kitchen, in our own crib that we got without a man.

I can respect your response, but in all honesty, black women are NOT built different from other women. All women start the same, it's what they eat and what activities young ladies participate develops what body type they will have. When I say obese, please do not mistake it for overweight. Most people in this world are overweigh 10, 20, 30 lbs over your ideal weight is overweight. 40+lbs and over without a generous amount of muscle is OBESE. I've checked with my doc and he told me I was overweight, but my overweight was made of pure muscle and I do not have any health problems. Yes overweight is the healthier side depends if your body is composed of MUSCLE or FAT. If it's muscle, then you are greatly healthy if it's fat, then there is a problem with Monique's quotes. Being too skinny is unhealthy, being too fat is unhealthy, so we have to balance ourselves with lean fat and muscle to become in the healthiest shape.
Actually I have done very extensive research about this issue that's why I brought it up on the blog to inform people not out of spite of black women. There are less of us in the United States and soon on this Earth thanks to Igronant Africans killing their own kind in the name of Allah and cleasning.
