At any rate, did any one else view this article? What were your thoughts?

That channel really is a cesspool. It IS the prime place to go if you want to see black women exploited as sex objects. Umm, Uncut? WTF?
And as for MTV, the name of the channel is not WPTV (White people tv). When you purport to be the media outlet that targets and represents black people, then dammit we are going to hold you to a higher standard! If you can't handle that, then getting out of the business is a great idea!
I have nothing but contempt for him or his network. I wish they would change the name, because it fa sho -sorry, for sure- does not represent black thought or culture!
He is so full of it.
