BET: Saving OurSelves



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

All the networks aired that one hour telethon on Friday, but BET did its own program lasting 2 and a half hours. Just working my way through it now. No surprise that even a reference to Kanye West elicited cheers -- no doubt where the black community stands on his comments. What struck me above everything else was the title:

S.O.S. -- Saving OurSelves.

No doubts there either -- they know Bush abandoned them, they know Bush and all his top cronies stayed on vacation, they know what Barbara Bush said, and they know they have to save themselves without depending on the federal government. Sad but true.
