Sigh....

...the CNN Newsanchor & the parents missed the point COMPLETELY. Watching this segment really pissed me off b/c the focus was on a very small subject.

This cartoon shines light on a much larger issue...but instead became the subject under its own light.

My question to the newsanchor & the parents is: Why are your children watching BET in the first place? I'm almost 21 & I can attest to the fact that my mother had complete control over what my brother & I viewed on television. I wasn't allowed to watch MTV, BET, or listen to secular radio stations...until I reached an age where I could where I could decipher b/t right & wrong.

I didn't quite understand it until I got older & realized that my mother had protected my childhood from exposure to adult themes on life. People need to stop giving television, internet, music, pop culture, etc...the responsibility of raising their children.

The parents & newsanchor were contradicting the entire subject. If you're going to allow your child to watch a countdown that features real life videos where most of the controversial acts are taking place...then you shouldn't have a problem with this cartoon showing in that time slot.

Like I said earlier, the children shouldn't be watching BET in the first place...& I think this is just another example of parents allowing pop culture to raise their children.
