Since I’ve been following the controversy regarding the airing of the BET travesty “Hot Ghetto Mess”, I’m subconsciously awaiting the black clergy and local black leaders from across the country to step up and demand that this show be canceled. This is a moral and social issue that needs to be addressed in our country and who better than the ministers of our black churches and local leaders of our cities to lead the charge against the exploitation of the less powerful? I’m not saying that I think Reverend Al should lead the charge, but I do expect to see other ministers & leaders step up and make public statements denouncing BET’s – HGM and rally church members & other organizations to take action to oppose BET’s blaxplotation programming.
Why aren’t there investigations based on the images of young children possibly being abused? Where is Child Protective Services? Surely someone that works in these agencies is aware of the depictions of children on hotghettomess.com. Even if this is legal (which I doubt) , there is a moral code that has been broken.
What have we become when the powerful feed off of the weak rather than helping to lift them up and there is no public outcry from the very ones that teach us that “we are our brother’s keeper”……
