In case folks here are unfamiliar with BET and why so many African Americans are down on that television station and its founder/former owner, here's two more comments from that New York Times blog:

"One only needs to turn on BET to see how it promotes all the horrible stereotypes of young black men as being stupid misogynist drug-using gangsters. Frankly, I wouldn't take the endorsement of a guy who spreads these stereotypes seriously. James Clyburn serves as a positive example to the black community, and he independently criticized Mrs. Clinton for her comments."

"Robert Johnson has got a lot of nerve! Has anyone looked at BET recently? Johnson has gotten rich on the degradation of his own community. I suggest Johnson take a look in the mirror when he makes insinuations about insulting the intelligence of the black community. And by the way, Hilary and Bill may have been emotionally involved in "issues" concerning the black community, but last time I checked they did little but pay lip service to and play the saxophone. And by the way, as an African American I have NEVER considered Bill Clinton to be the first black president. That day will come when Barak Obama is sworn in!"
