Top 25 Events That (Mis)Shaped Black America
BET is at it again with another Top 25 special that is shocking, refreshingly honest, and sure to cause much controversy. Tune in and join the "King of Controversy" Paul Mooney as he profiles the TOP 25 EVENTS THAT (mis) SHAPED BLACK AMERICA. Brace yourselves as Mooney leads the ultimate countdown to calamity.
"Here at BET we like to create specials you won't see on any other network, and we managed to do that with this Top 25," said BET President of Entertainment Reginald Hudlin. "There's a lot of controversy surrounding these topics, but it's time to shed light on issues discussed at work, the barber shops, and beauty salons across the country." These issues are real -- these things did happen; BET is bringing them to the forefront -- so let's talk about them."
BET's TOP 25 EVENTS THAT (mis) SHAPED BLACK AMERICA features comical insight from hip-hop critic, Fab 5 Freddy; actress, Meagan Good; pop culture critics Nekesa Moody, Margeaux Watson, Toure, Emil Wilbekin, and Lola Ogunnaike; entertainment lawyer, Londell McMillian; celebrity publicist Marvet Britto; New York radio personality Miss Info; R&B crooner, Mario, and many others.
This Top 25 will hold nothing back. From Hurricane Katrina, the assassination of two of the greatest African-American leaders -- Martin Luther King and Malcolm X; to ridiculous-but-relevant topics like America's fixation with Elvis, the "bling" phenomenon and the negative images glorified in the hip-hop game -- it's open season for Mooney and our panel of celebrities.
