Where did they find ... ( 1 month ago by lionzion22)
Where did they find those dense black older people? BET has been showing those types of images in music videos for the last 15 years. HENCE, this is the satire of the cartoon.
If you allow you kids to ever watch BET, then this satirical carton is a god send. Period.
Let's be honest now ... ( 1 month ago by Sorazorashii)
Let's be honest now. How many of those parents need to read a book? How many of them don't own land? How many of them were raised in the hood, and how many of them are gonna have ghetto-blastin kids? Why can't CNN get some people that live in the ghetto to comment on the video? I mean, I am certainly not in the target audience for BET, but even I know who that video was directed towards..
But listen to the ... ( 1 month ago by graymatters91)
But listen to the people talking. They're all so shallow. Either they're Uncle Toms or they're extremely stiff. It's an EXCELLENT video, because it tells the kinds of problems the Black community faces. You have to be a fool not to realize this.
These uppity-ass ... ( 1 month ago by thelonious1)
These uppity-ass critics were just looking to kill some air time. The Read A Book video went with the times. I thought it was genius. BET was the perfect outlet for this too.
If it were ... ( 1 month ago by culoslap)
If it were Hispanics or Caucasians in the video no one would give a shit.
Why is no one ... ( 1 month ago by magnetbox)
Why is no one asking awhy these parents are okay with their kids watching the music videos on BET that are far worse an influance than read a book. What I'm seeing is that they would rather their kids watch a bitches and hoes g-unit video than this one. seems kind of fucked up to me. way to perpetuate the stereotype.
these parents have ... ( 1 month ago by Kras3169)
these parents have a problem with their kids being told to read a book, brush their teeth, put on deodorant, and spend their money on useful things rather than piss it away on materialistic bullshit. that in itself is a problem! these parents are disgraceful. god only knows what their children will grow up to be like. apPARENTly, you aint parents!
Hell yes my ... ( 1 month ago by livemorbidia)
Hell yes my thoughts exactly

all these parents bitching their eyes out about this video running on BET and their 10 and 12 year olds watching it... my question is WHY IN THE FUCK ARE YOU LETTING YOUR 10 YEAR OLDS WATCH THIS GODDAMN STATION?!!
These are he kid of ... ( 1 month ago by evilminagrey)
These are he kid of black people that keep other black people do there is nothig wrong with the message or the way i wich it was portrayed ad the fact that they are picking at a video that tells pople to wash they'r asses ad read is unreal cosiderig very thig inbetwee is of half aked wome ad me objectifyig them why are these people even allowig childre to watch bet i am so disgusted ad i hop and pray that this dose become the replacmet for the mid numbing bull shit that i out now

idk about the hispanic one but yeah if it were caucasians people wouldnt even care.
"Raise your kids, ... ( 1 month ago by nova88hb)
"Raise your kids, raise your kids, raise your goddamn kids." I think that is what needs to happen here.

there's no better way to get the message across, 3million views on youtube, beat that shit
I think the biggest ... ( 3 weeks ago by Orbain)
I think the biggest point that parents who are freaking out are missing, is the fact that the cartoon features garbage, however it is the exact same garbage that fills the rap videos before and after it on the TV.
I love the focus on the crude booty shaking. Have any of these people watched rap videos? They have the same thing with REAL booty.
I see nothing wrong with having the exact same type of garbage in a cartoon if it helps people realise that what they are watching all day is garbage!
3:29-3:34 " i have ... ( 2 weeks ago by LTindaMP)
3:29-3:34 " i have to watch to make sure my kids dont see negitive messages" yeah well im pretty sure the fuckin songs called read a book sounds like a good message to me. also why the fuck would BET need sports credability?? and at 5:07 no education.. teen sumit, 1. Read the song title and the lyrics tells you main points in life 2. who the fucks gonna listen to a dude tellin kids to do that cause they better have like Michael Jordan or somthin sayin stuff or im pretty sure no ones gonna listen
Read a book, not a ... ( 1 week ago by ToruKun1)
Read a book, not a sports page or a magazine;
Raise your kids;
Your body needs water, so drink it;
Brush your teeth, wear deodorant;
Buy some land.
That's just good life advice!
OMG, people ... ( 1 week ago by ToruKun1)
OMG, people actually watch Class of 3000...!? :|
fools... this is a ... ( 1 week ago by haygoodfly)
fools... this is a perfect cartoon video if your kid is already watching the garbage on BET. If you're truly concerned about the negativity contained within the cartoon then your kid shouldn't have been watching BET to begin with.
The fact that this ... ( 1 week ago by gamerking1212)
The fact that this great song and video is viewed differently is fucking stupid. I fucking wish that people would fucking get a clue.
I think that this ... ( 1 week ago by Gachinto)
I think that this cartoon is pretty smart. The ONLY WAY you can get a message out and have kids now days to receive them, is the package it in such a way that they fell that it's "KOOL" and are WILLING accept them!
Lecturing does NOT WORK! Open your minds parents!
"Read a book" is ... ( 1 week ago by edmontonguys)
"Read a book" is brilliant, funny, and entertaining. It also delivers an essential message - that mastery of basic social skills is a foundation upon which success in any field depends - in a "voice" that its audience will appreciate & pay attention to. An interesting parallel is "Swinging On A Star", different culture, different era, same basic message. Naysayers need to learn what Social Marketing means...
those parents are ... ( 18 hours ago by choiiboiy)
those parents are the ones to blame if 12 year old children are watching BET.
