BET is relevant, very much so at one point it was the only award show that black entertainers had, than came along SOUL Train, Awards.

Those black award show are very relevant if it wasn't for them black entertainers would have never been acknowledged. Only a racist individual would not think it wasn't relevant are a person that is ignorant.

Michael Jackson won 8 BET awards and was happy to get all eight not one time did he think BET was irrelevant. Michael Jackson was strictly known has a R&B singer until "Thriller".
BET acknowledge Michael Jackson and awarded him as an entertainer long before the white's did. Chris Brown is Black you have not become a true legion until you have the honor of being in the BET Hall of Fame.

Black people take BET, just as serious has white folks take their shit serious, The Jackson 5 was acknowledge by the Black people before white folks knew who they where, for as the rest money is money and the black dollar and the black vote is important just ask Obama and Clinton.

BET is important to us!
