Read a Book, N-word: Racist Video or Satire

[pres]

BET has been playing what is being called a PSA video in cartoon form containing VERY OFFENSIVE language even as the underlying message is one encouraging children to read by telling them to read a ‘mf-ing book, n----er." Do we need to encourage kids to read by cursing at them every other word in a song aired to them on a black centric television station? Warning: the video is offensive.

Its actually a spoof or satire of the most hip hop songs played today on the radio. Its not racist, the cat that did the song is actually a poet and a good one too. Lets not jump to conclusion. It would behoove all of us to do our research before we label something.

If all you heard was the mfs, niggas, then obviously you didnt hear the message in the song.
