BET the new blackface

I was having a debate with a friend of mines the other day and what came up in our conversation is the fact of racial equality or better yet is there a racial equilibrium in America? Like most people of the non-African persuasion, the first thing he reached for is that we(African-Americans) have strong positive images going for us such as(and he stressed) the NAACP and even our own nationwide television network BET. Ha, NAACP and BET have outlived their purpose. They are both like milk, after its expiration date it will start to deteriorate and leave an odor most foul. When I was younger, I used to watch BET because it showed us young black children that there were positive black role models out there other than the drug pushers down the street or those jackasses that you see playing sports and acting real "niggerish" if you would say like to use that word. However, BET nowadays are showing exactly what it tried to prevent all those years ago. After the abrupt departure of AJ and Free on 106 and park, BET has just been producing black-face crap over and over again. Baggy pants, African-American men with "grills" in their mouth, African-American females with the loud ghetto accent overly plagued this once great network of BET. As an African-American male who is nineteen years old, going a great university, preferring to wear khakis and polo shirts over baggy blue jeans and a shirt two sizes bigger than a medium, and prefers to speak proper English. I and others like me are actually the new age of black people, we are the ones who represent the positive black community but we are often overlooked because we refuse to accept the roles that black-faced networks such as BET are enforcing on the public. As for the NAACP, what have they done for African-Americans over the last few years? The answer is nothing of real substance. What they do is nit-pit at whatever the easiest fight then could win without and real effort(i.e. Don Imus.) Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, are not Martin Luther King and will never be, they do not appeal to the new age of African-Americans. Nor are they lending any hand in trying to bridge the gap between the transcending older African-Americans generation and the newer generation of African-American individuals.
