i officially hated BET. it was almost funny how they played it, as if it were a public service announcement. i understand the social commentary, but it still infuriates me that a television network seen by many as a broad brushstroke of african american culture endorsed this in any way. |
Thanks for the link! I have never heard of the video or knew there was a controversy around it. I can't believe BET considered the playing of this video an opportunity to mitigate the effect on youths of a decade of videos glorifying foolishness. *Sigh*
ugh, taking this as a sign, I have too many books (7) and totally off rand journals (2) to finish reading this weekend...
