In case you didn't know, there's been a big hubbub lately between BET and The Boondocks. Long story short, Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder had an episode planned that harshly satirized BET. BET didn't get the joke and leaned HEAVY on the people pulling the strings at the Cartoon Network and Adult Swim to prevent them from airing it. BET won. Black people lost. They even went to such lengths as to pull every video clip they could find of the un-aired episode from YouTube a la Beyonce's face plant.
That's when it pays to know more viral video sites than YouTube. Here are two clips of the now infamous episode. Let's hope that the full episode sees the light of day sometime in the near future. There's no telling how long it'll take before Bob Johnson finds out about these other jawns so enjoy them while they last. I got the second one saved on my comp and if anybody has the first clip, holler at me.
BET, wake the eff up and get over yourself. When it comes to a rounded presentation of black culture, TV One and MTV have yall beat anyway (and sadly, that doesn't say much). Shoot, Fox News has yall beat.
