Protesting Viacom

I just read the article about people protesting Viacom (MTV and BET) and can't say that I disagree with them. Music videos, namely rap videos, are becoming dammaging to African Americans. They create a misperception and greatly misrepresent the black community as a whole. There are always two sides to an arguement however, and I can't blame Viacom or MTV or BET for its programming either. These places are successfull because they cater to the masses. They give people what they want. And as long as people keep tuning in to see g-strings and gangsters, I don't think they'll be changing their ways.
