playboy1972 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 If you want to see what some black writers feel about BET Network and its affect on Black children.

TheDiplomat Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm not an avid fan of the Boondocks, but I will watch this episode. Thanks. Before I watch it and comment though, I just wanted to point out that BET is a horrible horrible voice in our community. Well not so much voice, but staple in a sense. At the age of 20, I can watch BET all day and not have the desire to do drugs, shoot someone, or take on a persona of a thug in order to be cool. It's really hurting our youth. Little kids watch this network (5, 6, 7, yr olds etc.) and see videos with women degrading themselves and the majority of rappers talking about money, material items, and women. It's sad. Again, I can watch this and not be persuaded. It's harder for the youth to do that. I used to work at an after-school program in high school and we constantly ran into little girls, black and white actually, shaking and dancing provocatively in the morning on the playgrounds, and joking about their butt sizes. It was sad and we had to have our female counselors talk to them about proper behavior. Now, not to say that BET is ALL bad. They do occasionally have uplifting and insightful programming, but they do need an overhaul of their programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i downloaded this the other day, pretty funny. Boondocks one of the best shows on TV, animated or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreenistheBest Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 That show has always pushed the envelope too far for me to find it funny and this is no exception. But they have a point as usual. BET is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad89 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i downloaded this the other day, pretty funny.Boondocks one of the best shows on TV, animated or otherwise. Most definately. This episode is really good. "My n****, I watch BET er'day, ya feel me, ain't nuttin' wrong wit me, ya feel me, n**** you just hatin', ya feel me, dat's why you ain't neva gon' have no paper ain't never gon' have no ****es, ya feel me?" This quote definately sums up what's wrong with BET. I'd also throw MTV in there with contributing to not only the downfall of Black people, but of all people.* *meaning, the youth of America.
