BET = Bad Entertainment Television.
BET refuses to play De La Soul & BeatNuts Videos. They can play
booty videos all night & day that depict Black Women as hookers -
& refuse to play some real shit. A dam shame . There is nothing
"Black" about this network anymore -- they are about as "Black" as
McDonalds or Burger Thing. Just Bad. F**k 'em. [more] Debra Lee is
the president and chief operating officer of Bad Entertainment
Television."BET gets beat up for playing what is selling in stores and
getting played in constant rotation on the radio," Lee told Essence.
"It is an issue BET has to deal with.... Years ago, the concern was
violence. Now it's sexuality, and some artists go too far. If artists
put out videos like this and people don't like it, they should vote at
the record store." [more]
WHERE'S THE TIMES WHEN COPS ARE CLEARED? [more]
Here is a clear example of an uninformed, ignorant white man, who
without doing any research, decided to write an article about how white
cops never
get off in police brutality cases. What a jack-ass. White cops (or any
other kind of cops) getting sent to prison is the Exception not the
rule. Why even when white cops are caught on video tape beating or
shooting Black or Brown Men to death they go free. [[see for yourself]

protected and coddled in a way that an outspoken Latino like me never
would be," ..."The light-eyed and white skinned were declared household
names. Canseco the Cuban was left out in the cold, where racism and
double standards rule." - Jose Canseco in his new book.
