I find myself getting more and more frustrated with BET and its choice of 'entertainment'. How could BET and, even more surprisingly, Babyface and Tracy Edmonds back this nonsense that they call "College Hill".

HBCUs have enough negativity to try and move away from, but now they're broadcasting this crap on BET where the whole world can see. Just imagine our youth watching this nonsense and saying "Oh, I want to go to an HBCU so I can get my freak on". Instead of promoting the positive aspects of HBCUs, they choose to focus on the sexual promiscuity, partying and other nonsense of the cast members.

What do others think about this? I would like to know.
