So why is that now Viacom's fault or problem, that we ourselves can't seem to reflect the more positive aspects of our cultural identity? You're right, Oohlala, that many of us ARE reflected in the stereotypes, but we perpetuate those things by supporting a "Booty Call" and not "Daughters of the Dust." That's not "the man's" doing, and we need to stop always crying racism when we ourselves are at fault.
On another note, why is BET the last word on black programming? Are we not capable of creating another network? Geesh!!!!
