Its always funny how people don't want to hear the truth. But its okay to watch Redneck Weddings on CMT? Hosted by Tom Arnold, White America I guess...
I LOVE PEOPLE LIKE YOU! This is much better than the Obama mess from the last few days.
But I was lmao when NY Gov. Paterson told everybody about his affairs up front. He was like, "You ain't pulling a Kwame Obama on me. I'm telling my stuff before my opponents can". I don't blame him.
BET and MTV should come with a 2 year military contract you must sign to watch shit like that. If you gonna let this shit rot ur mind might as well let Bush and his boys march your ass off to some dirt-shit country to get yourself killed for no good reason.
I never watched a BET/MTV show all the way through, never held my attention cuz most of it is two faced money making bullshit.
How ignorant must you be to have shit like this keep you blind to things around you.
I just watch VH1 instead there you have shows with some good images of black ppl...you know, like Flavor of Love and I love New York...and don't forget Charm School. LOL
I always wondered how execs could justify a channel that would encourage you to 'Increase Your Faith' on Sunday morning, then 'Back That Thang Up' on Sunday night.
This may be the best thing you've ever posted That Bitch! I love this. The damn thing froze about 6 minutes in, but it was a great 6 minutes. I love Boondocks. I've been looking for this video for months.
I like BET just like I like many other things. I don't let BET dictate my life though. There are things on BET I'd like to see being improved in the future but I don't want BET to disappear. Get rid of BET? Nah...make it better..YEAH!!
'Memba back in the day (the early 1980s) when the white rock bands like Poison, Bon Jovi, White Snake, Motley Crue, White Lion and etc. first came out on MTV with their videos and they had white women with big hair and Daisy Duke shorts and hooker type stilleto heels on, writhing 'round on tops of cars and other props and shaking their thin white asses in the videos for the white rock bands?
Tipper Gore, Al Gore's wife, lead a nationwide censorship and ban on those videos from being played on the airwaves because she deemed them offensive to her and her white female peers. We haven't seen a degrading white band video since, have we? Tipper stopped that shit in its tracks.
Well, in the 1990s and 2000s, niggas and rap took up where the white bands left off and started degrading or allowing Black women an outlet to where they can degrade themselves with the jiggabooing shenanigans they do in these horrendous, horrifying, disgraceful gangsta rap videos, and nobody (SO FAR) has done anything to censor or ban these gangsta rap videos.
That's a shame. I guess the Black woman isn't worth standing up for, especially since she don't stand up for herself.
I stopped watching BET when they showed Nelly's "Tip Drill" video. How sad for Black women. I shoulda stopped watching BET long before that.
jahboyz3 said... I always wondered how execs could justify a channel that would encourage you to 'Increase Your Faith' on Sunday morning, then 'Back That Thang Up' on Sunday night
thats the truth!
this was the truth. this is the first time i saw it to the end. i love this show. even though the cartoon network was scared to broadcast the show, it still reached the people. the more you continue to let children watch this mess bet will always be the same until you seriously demand change in numbers. i would never let my children watch that crap
Viacom is evil people... not saying mr. johnson was a whole lot better but my pet theory is that viacom bought BET so they could slowly kill it off. I bet in a couple of years it will cease to exist as we knew it back in the day (notice how all they have on is comedy repeats and 2 hours of videos)- VH1 soul will probably replace it in the cable lineup.
i knew BET was crazy when American gangsta came one! who in the hell would glorify some shit like that! I waited almost a year for the boon docks to come out, i can't wait till it comes on DVD. I'll be the first one to get the second season!
anon 9:05, the tip drill video did it for me too! i still dont know what made them think showing a video where a man slides a credit card down the crack of a woman's ass was ok!
i saw this video on myspace yesterday, and i'm so glad you posted it. people, spread the word so others will see it before it gets yanked (again)!
YALL TAKE THINGS TO PERSONAL SOMETIMES ITS JUS ENTERTAINMENT ITS ALWAYS A DOUBLE STANDARD LIKE HUGH HEFF CAN DO PLAYBOY AND HE'S A FAMOUS RESPECTED DUDE AND NELLY DOES TIP DRILL AND YALL HATE HIM
Whether it's Hugh Hef or Nelly, giving women an outlet in which to degrade and debase and jigaboo themselves is shameful. None of these mofos never post stories or issues or videos of women doing good things, like getting an education, taking care of their kids, empowering each other to be above base sexual shit, giving to their communities in positive ways, etc. It's always hoes who are ready and willing to show they ass for little or nothing. But at least Hef does give his hoes five or six thousand for a couple idiotic naked poses; you know DAMN WELL Nelly didn't give them hoes in his Tip Drill video a motherfucking thing, except prolly a ten cent sack of weed.
But my male friend pointed something out to me that I thought was very interesting. I asked him why does he think (Black) women like to show they ass so willingly and he said "It's the only way they can get back their (Black) men from the intelligent white woman." Don't be mad at me; he said it, not me. I'm just repeating it.
I love the Boondocks! This episode is right on point tho....I really don't even watch BET anymore because it has become so terrible! & I really don't see the point of College Hill! When it first came on, I'm thinkin ok, we're goin to see some educated black young folks...all they did was fight and f*ck!
I wish some of these niggas who like these trashy videos would walk into a place and see they mommas and daughters butt naked, strung up, and jigabooing, then we'll see what they have to say.
I agree with 1:55 and 1:57. With all that black people have had to face coming up in this country (so they say), you would think they would take their Constitutional freedom of expression and right to free speech and do good positive things that foster literacy and education and employment in their communities, instead, they let the sick, over/under sexed male rappers with access to film and money do what they do and speak for them.
I can understand white hoes stripping, porn acting, and what not for money, but not Black women. They need to be getting all the free ass education they can and get the courage to tell Black men to fuck off - the ones who want the Black women to bend over and spread em.
This is too funny, the best part of it all is to know that Reginal Hudlin (President of the Entertainment Division @ BET) is the Executive Producer on this cartoon...it all makes me wonder...
If BET showed nothing but positive shows, all of you "intelligent" negroes still wouldnt watch and they would be out of business. yall talk that bullshit, but when its time to back it up or, god forbid, put your money where your mouth is, you come up short everytime.
@ 2:28: Please. Like white people are so fucking intelligent. I've been around white people, trust, they aint that intelligent and wise and smart. They mostly talk in circles and I don't know why Blacks are so afraid to compete with and against them.
That's not true at all. If BET showed something worth watching, intelligent folk would watch. But watching an HBCU graduate make an ass of himself on 106 and Park proves that BET has turned Judas on the black community.
I don't even really watch TV anymore because blogging and blog-hopping is far more entertaining.
But when Rollo Goodlove did the Superman around the 10 min mark, I HOLLERED!
@ 2:28: Please. Like white people are so fucking intelligent. I've been around white people, trust, they aint that intelligent and wise and smart. They mostly talk in circles and I don't know why Blacks are so afraid to compete with and against them. 2:36 PM
.......................
I've met a lot of smart white people over the years. it depends on who you hang out with. I've also met a lot of smart black people too.
Black) women like to show they ass so willingly and he said "It's the only way they can get back their (Black) men from the intelligent white woman." Don't be mad at me; he said it, not me. I'm just repeating it.
No they do it because the market is open to them. In the eighties it wasn't profitable to be a black video ho, now it is. Every black man I ever met who was married to a white woman was a control freak and the women were all submissive like children. Hot mess!
yeah, it's only music channel,but BET could be doing so much better. I'm old enough to remember Video Soul and Rap City. When MTV has nothing but rock band and hour and half Yo!MTVRaps,I could click over to BET to see the underground R&B/Soul/Hiphop/Rap videos that MTV didn't want to show.
To be fair VH1 is going to crap too. Rock of Love 2? Flavor of Love 3? I Love New York 2? C'mon!!!
Once upon a time, BET was good. It show alot of positive things within the black community. Rap videos were a very small part of the rotation, then sudden they toss out the positive things and replace it with nothing but crap.
I refuse to watch BET. {Boycott Channel Zero was a powerfully documentary about BET}
Do yourselves a favor and watch Television one owned by a black woman Cathy Hughes you will never watch BET again.
Please tell me someone has seen ole boy late night on BET selling "prayer packages"?? Say... that did it for me. just watch BET after midnite and see what goes on.I only cut for the re-runs of the wayans & such. Yah trick YAH!! lmao
@1:55pm anon the only way they can get their Black men from intelligent white women? Puh-leez! If those white women are with men who think like that, they are far from intelligent, and I, for one, don't want a man like that. @10:03 BET was bought from Bob Johnson (and his wife) by Viacom. It is a parent company for a lot of networks.

Good for him, though.
@thagrindaholic: I don't think so. Once upon a time BET did have thought provoking programming and showed many different sides of the Black cultural experience in America. They systematically eliminated all that stuff to cater to the lowest common denominator. Ass-shakin' is fine in moderation (UnCut?), but not when it comprises your entire lineup and your name pretends you speak for all of Black entertainment. I was deeply ashamed when an older white friend told me they had begun watching BET to see what Black people liked to watch. (cultural curiosity) I immediately told my friend to cease and desist because that bullshit doesn't speak for the majority.
@ bronx (10.00 am) - Viacom is 100%american. Owned by an OOOOOooooold jewish cat named Sumner Redstone. This is the same guy that saw Tom Cruise jumping on oprah's couch and fired his ass immediamente.
Sumner owns... viacom, mtv,vh1,bet cbs, paramount and dreamworks studios midway games and much much more...so, you can kinda put into perspective how 'important' our culture would be to somone like him. He probably uses bet as a loss leader for taxes.
This guy may own all the entertainment companies but he has no control on what goes on at these networks. Just as the animation illustrates, you have people at BET sitting in a boardroom coming up with ways to propagandize blacks down the path of degradation with their ghettofantastic programming. They are doing this …and by letting BET's foolishness' to continue, we are ultimately doing it to ourselves.
@5.14pm. Are you kidding? This man is a majority stakeholder in all these companies - in some cases he owns up to 70%. Of course he is in control over what happens at them, he just doesn't care about black people because he isn't one of us.
Again, this is the man who fired Tom Cruise, who was putting minimum 400 Million into his pocket for every movie Tom starred in...because he played himself on Oprah. So... yeah he cares, just not about our issues.
As long as the companies continue to do what they are supposed to - either make money or lose it, he doesn't care how its run. So in a sense you're right - ms lee & company (we) are doing it to ourselves.
I wondered too why the word "banned" was attached to it until I did some research. Everyone who has it up, even YouTube is letting you/us know that it is "Banned" from being shown on TV. Even Adult Swim must have been in the sticky for attempting to air it.
I LOVED IT!! I d/l'ed it in 2 parts so I can have it on my PC for...
People who just think that the boondocks is funny and that,s it....is blind to what's really going on in this world. Yea parts of it is funny but it is so much truth in it. You she how the star of the show is filled with sorrow.. that the world is so blind to what is obviouly happening to our people...our black people are so blind and druken with the trash of this world. We are so filled with so much nothingness that we are overdone.
But there is one last hope...the bible speaks of our people waking up in the last days... and that 2/3of our people will die in the distruction that is comings at the end of days...but 1/3 of our people will be saved
So you all who think that everything is just funny...should examine your inward heart and pray that the Lord will open your mind to see what is happening before your eyes.
This is the last day...The Lord will return in this lifetime..but as long as we can wake up, go to our sitty as job..fake like we happy..go home..give our loveones hell..go to the store any time we please..eat trash and Mc Donalds..watch the idiot box (tv)..and seem normal...we don't even cosider our ways...We all will reap what we sow.
racist people look to the media to define who or what is black or white. i think the boondocks paints a negative picture for racist people. yet its the racist persons fault for accepting it as a view for all african-americans. anyway, this cartoon annoys the crap out of me. people keep saying its "the truth". but the thing is, its not the truth for everybody. i think that's why i hate it, because it lumps african-americans together like we all are supposed to 'get' this cartoon. its very obnoxious to me and an eye-sore to tv itself.
Again, the American tendency to feel as if the world revolves around you shows its ugly-ass head. I hate whenever the topic of an interracial relationship comes up on this blog, because you all say stupid things. Not every single black man who is with a white woman is a control freak, and not all of those white women are submissive. I am the product of such a union. It's really offensive when people disparage my parents without knowing them. Sure, they have their faults, but they are complex and every relationship is complex. I can't say it isn't that way down in the U.S., but the rest of the world is not as hung up on race, truly. Yes, there are racists everywhere, but it as with almost everything else, in America, everything that's bad is worse there than anyplace else. Just because my parents share less genes than yours do, doesn't make their relationship somehow less legitimate. It just means I'm less inbred than you.
I like this show! BET is somewhat degrading; shows like College Hill and the after hours videos--which thank god they took off, where setting us back and not lifting. They are trying w/ their little rip offs of top 25s but they're not funny like Vh1's are
And aren't MTV and BET owned by the same people?? The thing I really dont understand is why MTV videos will bleep out more curse words...It's okay to say them on BET but not MTV??
Okay so what, he's the major stockholder in these companies, but he still does not control the "content of their programming". Tom Cruise got fired from what?? He never worked at any of his companies, he had a talent deal with Paramount and because of lackluster movie ticket sales "perhaps" due to his crazy ass jumping on Oprah's coach, or but most importantly America woke up and saw how crazy his ass was/is? It was and its what everything always comes down to…the bottom line. Tom's not bringing in the MONEY they thought he could bring in. Period. I still don't think that ENDING the deal with Tom Cruise was Mr. Redstone's decision. This dude owns alot of shit and if you think he has time to sit down and have so much of a creative role at all his companies you've been sadly misled. I can't say whether or not he cares for black people, but I do know all he cares about is if it makes him $$$$.....

A Whore-ward Show!!!!!!

BET is so bad for the hood mind.
BET and MTV should come with a 2 year military contract you must sign to watch shit like that. If you gonna let this shit rot ur mind might as well let Bush and his boys march your ass off to some dirt-shit country to get yourself killed for no good reason.

People who just think that the boondocks is funny and that,s it....is blind to what's really going on in this world. Yea parts of it is funny but it is so much truth in it. You she how the star of the show is filled with sorrow.. that the world is so blind to what is obviouly happening to our people...our black people are so blind and druken with the trash of this world. We are so filled with so much nothingness that we are overdone.
But there is one last hope...the bible speaks of our people waking up in the last days... and that 2/3of our people will die in the distruction that is comings at the end of days...but 1/3 of our people will be saved
So you all who think that everything is just funny...should examine your inward heart and pray that the Lord will open your mind to see what is happening before your eyes.
This is the last day...The Lord will return in this lifetime..but as long as we can wake up, go to our sitty as job..fake like we happy..go home..give our loveones hell..go to the store any time we please..eat trash and Mc Donalds..watch the idiot box (tv)..and seem normal...we don't even cosider our ways...We all will reap what we sow.
This show is hella corny to me. It tries too hard to be witty, but never really hits the mark.
racist people look to the media to define who or what is black or white. i think the boondocks paints a negative picture for racist people. yet its the racist persons fault for accepting it as a view for all african-americans. anyway, this cartoon annoys the crap out of me. people keep saying its "the truth". but the thing is, its not the truth for everybody. i think that's why i hate it, because it lumps african-americans together like we all are supposed to 'get' this cartoon. its very obnoxious to me and an eye-sore to tv itself.
Again, the American tendency to feel as if the world revolves around you shows its ugly-ass head. I hate whenever the topic of an interracial relationship comes up on this blog, because you all say stupid things. Not every single black man who is with a white woman is a control freak, and not all of those white women are submissive. I am the product of such a union. It's really offensive when people disparage my parents without knowing them. Sure, they have their faults, but they are complex and every relationship is complex. I can't say it isn't that way down in the U.S., but the rest of the world is not as hung up on race, truly. Yes, there are racists everywhere, but it as with almost everything else, in America, everything that's bad is worse there than anyplace else. Just because my parents share less genes than yours do, doesn't make their relationship somehow less legitimate. It just means I'm less inbred than you.
Agreed on the BET thing.
Aaron is the man. A true revolutionary. Very few left ...
I would like to copy this to my computer. How would I go about doing this ??
Can anyone help me with this ??
I loved it. Too bad it couldn't be aired.
Is that Cee Low? Kinda sounded like em
I like this show! BET is somewhat degrading; shows like College Hill and the after hours videos--which thank god they took off, where setting us back and not lifting. They are trying w/ their little rip offs of top 25s but they're not funny like Vh1's are
And aren't MTV and BET owned by the same people?? The thing I really dont understand is why MTV videos will bleep out more curse words...It's okay to say them on BET but not MTV??
@6:55 PM. What do you mean?
Okay so what, he's the major stockholder in these companies, but he still does not control the "content of their programming". Tom Cruise got fired from what?? He never worked at any of his companies, he had a talent deal with Paramount and because of lackluster movie ticket sales "perhaps" due to his crazy ass jumping on Oprah's coach, or but most importantly America woke up and saw how crazy his ass was/is? It was and its what everything always comes down to…the bottom line. Tom's not bringing in the MONEY they thought he could bring in. Period. I still don't think that ENDING the deal with Tom Cruise was Mr. Redstone's decision. This dude owns alot of shit and if you think he has time to sit down and have so much of a creative role at all his companies you've been sadly misled. I can't say whether or not he cares for black people, but I do know all he cares about is if it makes him $$$$.....
