Sort of on a related note, I saw this article on Robert Johnson in Forbes magazine. After reading it, I was left with mixed feelings. For instance, Johnson has provided employment opportunities for us: 96 percent of BET's employees, including managers, are Black.
But he seems to have no qualms about the lowbrow nature of his programming.
Ultimately, that's why we need an alternative for thinking adults and parents.
Here's a link if you're interested.
