If we ban BET we will have a load of angry children that will find something else that could be even worse than BET. We need to first find a way to open the childern's eyes so that they would not want BET or anything equivalent my mum done the same and my eyes were opened. I agree with your blog post, this has created so many negative stereotypes towads black men and black women. black men - gangster, thugs, promiscuous, pimps, drug dealers and so on. Black women - whores, strippers, loud, ghetto, sexual objects and so on. PS: I hope you don't mind but I am putting you on my blogroll. Also have you watched the truth behind hip hop on youtube? http://lilkemet.wordpress.com/ Regina I agree with you alot of adults do not watch BET but it has a strong influence on the young generation.

While everyone (adults) are standing outside Debra Lee's house all of our kids are home watching BET. We need to work on the parents if we want to reach the kids.

It was amazing! This is definitely not an "event" - it is a growing movement. Yesterday, Dick Gregory showed up to lend his support. This coming Saturday buses from New York will be coming to DC to join us. My pictures and audio interview with Dick Gregory will be online in a day or two. Thanks for helping to spread the word. -Heber BT – I attended yesterday’s protest out front Debra Lee’s house. It was amazing! This is definitely not an “event” – it is a growing movement.
