The NPHC Boycotts Bet?

[AKA2D '91]

Apparently, the NPHC has decided to boycot BET for its "lack"of quality programming.

This is an email that I received...

I was at the National conference last week when it was
announced that the council of presidents will be
mandating that all nine of our NPHC organizations
boycott BET. Our council of presidents has been
trying to have a meeting with the owner of BET. When
they eventually had the appointment, they were treated
unfairly and unprofessionally. This is what I got
from the National Basileus of Omega Psi Phi who was
announcing this. He said that the programming is
basically not a good representation of our and to our
community.
Reading from my notes these were the reasons why...
The dimissal of Tavis Smiley

And the cancelation of Teen Summit

The acquisition of BET by Viacom, which boils down to
money issues

And the meeting that they did schedule with BET did
not go very well.

The station is not a fair representation of African
American Youth
The programming exploits our people

BET is more concerned with profit

And BET does not support any organizations that
contribute to our community.
