BET Uncut

"BET Uncut," a music video program from Black Entertainment Television, has been canceled after a six year run on the entertainment television network.

Infamous for scantily-clad women and sexual themes, "BET Uncut" featured videos from well-known Hip-Hop and R&B artists that were intended for mature audiences only.

hmmmm, not sure how I feel about this. The article goes on to say how 'outraged' African-American women's groups were by the material in these videos and how they degrade women.... Do they?

It's kind of like when Waiting to Exhale came out and men said we were beating them up in the movie, but the reality is, if it doesn't apply to you why are you mad? The fact remains that it applied to some men and not others.

It's the same theory I see in BET Uncut. Some women would do anything (a.k.a Superhead) to get into videos, bend over and let a man swipe a credit card through your ass, and some women wouldn't. Can I be mad at the video directors, rappers, casting agents etc that exploited these women NO, because most of these women are 18 or older, and from what I can see 23 and over and can think and judge for themselves.

I see nothing wrong with it being on TV especially if it comes on at like 3/4 am when I'm fast asleep. Beyond that, if I don't like it, I don't watch it. Just like porn. I don't watch porn, I don't have the channels, if I did, I may watch, I may not, but it's a choice. Just like these women have.

I'm so tired of everyone empowering women when they want and then playing the victim. Every woman has a choice. Maybe they should examine the women to see why they want to be in the videos. Don't boycott the rapper; Rappers are an enterprise, they do what works and if the ladies are lined up around the block to bend ova, they will swipe. If we had more women interested in geeks, maybe we would have more boys studying and swiping motherboards instead of wishing to be Mr. Next Bling Bling.
