In my opinion, it was an inappropriate time for them to appear. The wounds for those involved are too fresh. However, If you watched the show, they only said thanks to those that supported them.

But how does giving an ovation to the two translate into support of the beating that took place? Even the guy who announced the two guys opened by saying he does not condone a 6 on 1 beatdown. In my mind, the audience was not celebrating the individuals, but the fact that a socio-judicial injustice was challenged and in-part defeated.

As for BET as a network, they have lost its value and values since Bob Johnson sold to Viacom. Same with MTV. Reality tv killed the video star.
