if black peeps actually owned the Black Entertainment Network we wouldn´t have these problems. fuck Viacom for owning BET and still making it seem like a "black" network.

here is what I wrote:

Hello,

I am an avid hip hop fan and respect BET for playing some of the "real" artists that are still around these days.  However, I am disgusted to find a list of artists that are banned.  Why would BET ban an artist?  Little Brother's new video was referred to as being to "intelligent".  Yet, you can have videos played such as Webbie's "Gimme That" which is sexually explicit.  Being called "Black Entertainment Telivision" digusts me when some of the artists that are banned are some black people's favorite artists.  I am really irritated to find out that a network I once believed brought real hip hop to the forefront has sunk to a level as low as MTV.  I guess Fuse network is the onlye way to go.  I can watch my Little Brother and videos from the list I saw.
