24865, check yourself

Before you so boldly call this a solution check yourself and tell us what exactly you're solving.

Why boycott a community asset thats struggling as it is. You call that a solution? How boycotting Mobil that bleeds the earth of natural resources- or corporations that count on abusing the rights and dignity of wrokers here and abroad.

I understand you dont like what you see on BET but Im willing to bet that you just dont watch it that much. Are you watching the gospel programming? Are you watching the four hour special on debit and credit management this weekend? Are you watching open forum discussions with al Sharpton and mayor Gulianni on the matters of polic brutality in New York- if you are please tell me what boycotting all that is gonna solve.

If you have a problem with particular programming like Comic View or Jam Zone- then write a letter, thats your solution. A boycott? what the hell are you gonna boycott- you just gonna stop watching; most of y'all only watch about two hours of it a day so dont think you'll be missed. If you boycott the sponsors how on earth will they know that you're boycotting coca cola cuz of BET?


What you claim to be a solution still only seemse to be talk even though you demand you're beyond these stages.

Its called solidarity people- get together and work at that. If you're not part of the solution ou are indeed part of the problem but in the face a nation wide adversity dont you dare say that BET is the problem.
