My Response To The Proposed Boycott of BET

Why boycott BET? BET didn't birth anyone's children. And if we had anything that resembled a healthy community we would be able to put BET and it's programming in context. But we can't for we have eroded away the cultural filter over the past 40 years that buffered us from ideas that were adverse to our children's well being. If we were parenting properly, no one could say anything to us that didn't make sense. And I am well aware of Black people being beaten away from their dreams and the multitude of evils that programs like COINTELPRO systematically unleashed to kill us, but having said that, this diatribe is about self-indictive dialogue. In essence, what have we done to collaborate in our own oppression, individually and as a race of people? How many of you want to boycott BET yet smoke weed? How many of you have dealt dope or been some dope dealer's woman? Who here has made unoriginal, immature choices to cover your dense asses with tattoos, then complain that you have it hard? How many of you wear your pants hanging off your asses or listen to the gangster/pimp rap, or are constituent to the very images that you are boycotting? How can you demand that BET do its best when you won't do your best? Our generational failure to publicly condemn ghetto lifestyle and morality and grapple with the issues of education and the criminalization of our people, has made us strange and low. This boycott of BET is but one more example of Black people avoiding real truth and change. It's tantamount to getting a manicure to cure the cancer in your arm. One piece of advice for all Black people who want to be something- 'BECAUSE WE DON'T MOVE FROM A PLACE OF TRUTH ON ANY SUBJECT ANYMORE, BECAUSE WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO COURAGE OR INTEGRITY, BECAUSE WE UNERRINGLY SUBSCRIBE TO POPULAR OPINION, NO MATTER HOW VILE OR HASTILY THOUGHT OUT IT MAY BE...IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED IN LIFE, DON'T LISTEN TO BLACK PEOPLE. WE ARE NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH AND MORAL ENOUGH THESE DAYS TO BE A VOICE OF REASON, AND AS A RULE, WE ARE USUALLY WRONG!!!!!!
