From The Mouths Of Babes

This here is voice that has been crying out for
the past two years at BET in hopes of being
heard. And as you probably know if you watch
BET her pleas for the channel to stop showing
videos that explote black women has fallen on
deaf ears. But check out the article and hear
what Ms Bourdreaux has to say and then
speak your mind.


A student at Atlanta’s Spelman College has started a letter-writing campaign in hopes of getting BET to reconsider airing videos that objectify women and depict them as nothing more than sexual objects.

Final Call.com recently ran an article that featured portions of the letter, written by Houston sophomore Angela Boudreaux and addressed to BET CEO Debra Lee. Boudreaux wrote:
"I am disgusted with images of black women in the media, particularly those provided by television and music videos. I can no longer tolerate the way women are portrayed and the disgusting way that BET perpetuates this behavior.

"I will never understand how a company that is supposed to be the voice for black people makes them look worse than any other organization in the world. Some of the videos that are played at BET can be classified as pornographic. The lyrics to the songs, with these outrageous videos, are just as alarming. Black women are all depicted as nothing but sexual objects and their only value stemming from various parts of their bodies.”

Boudreaux has been writing these kinds of letters to BET for the past two years in hopes of getting someone there to acknowledge the issue.
