I have respect for BET....not at all!
ARNOLD, MARYLAND -- Now I have said over time that there I don't think that everything marketed towards and things that are for black people are not always good for black people.  I also have been accused of being an uncle tom, but I digress.
 
BET was has been my constant whipping child for the past seven years.  They have constantly have made an effort not to balance the image of Black people in this country.  From the 12 hours of music videos per day, to the endless infomercials on Sunday and the nothingness that they call a news department.
 
Tuesday, took the cake.  I my personal opinion, I thought that it was an insult that they didn't at least carry the pool coverage of the woman that very well fought for their right to help distort the image of black people, yes I am talking about the Funeral for Coretta Scott King.
 
A network with resources to include one of the best news departments in the world, all they had to do was tap into the CBS Newspath coverage and they would have been great.  Oh, the cross promotional possibilities between CBS and BET, it would have gained some positive reviews.
 
But unfortunately for us, they opted for "alternative" programming.  You have to stop think and wonder, why do young black people not know about Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jackie Robinson and other black people.  Well let me give you a hint, you can't blame whitey this time!
 
It is our own people screwing ourselves by taking for granted the freedoms and liberties that we have today, that our ancestors fought and died for and only wished that they had then.
 
Shame on us for that and shame on BET for not being all they should have been by now.

Good Morning Chris,
 
Here is my two cents regarding Cindy Sheehan.  Personally I don't care what the t-shirt said at this point, she should have been removed from the gallery, just because, and I will explain.
 
I do not recalled if it was ever discussed anywhere, but what about the fact that she is desicrating the very memory of her son by the very way she is acting.  Her son made a personal decision to join the army, knowing all that it entailed.
 
I think the fact that she has shown a very unstable behavior pattern as of late and someone that dangerous should not be near the President.
 
I thought she was personally targeted, because she was Cindy Sheehan.  Lucky for President Bush, the rules of the gallery worked in his favor, hence her ejection.
 
I think the majority of us are tired of watching her make a idiot out of herself, embarassing her family and most importantly, her fallen son.  Now thanks to her, we will be taking another two weeks to talk about this foolishness.
