Disagree w/ the terms of the boycott
I think to some extent the terms stated in the boycott overemphasize the bling mentality of hip hop. I do agree that there is an uneven diversity of the programming but what does that have to do with the rap videos. It's funny when you think about it. Country music for instance glorifies a small culture within the anglosaxon community that isn't representative of the majority. It doesn't get the same outlook as rap, even though it is just as extreme on it's end of the spectrum. Rap started with talk about parties and having fun. I for one am glad it has gotten back to that. Don't get me wrong BET needs to change. Can I see the Jackson 5 cartoon on sundays again. Let's not blame it all on booty videos when we know a mojority of us watch them and own the CD's (burned or not).
