Former Executive Editor Exposing BET

BET.com's former executive editor, Andreas Hale, had some harsh words for his employer after quitting just shy of his one-year anniversary on the job. In a withering e-mail to friends and colleagues yesterday, Hale writes:
"Although I was hired to bring about change, I was systematically shut down. I wasn't hired to make noise, I was hired to be silenced." He continues, "The unprofessionalism, the tomfoolery, the favors, the misappropriation of resources, the bad ideas that reinforce negative stereotypes, the emasculation of men, the meetings that break down in full-fledged cursing battles, the unpaid overtime, the tears from employees scared for their underpaid and overworked positions and ultimately the unwillingness to change are all harsh realities that I've witnessed firsthand." He later declared on his Twitter account, "The shackles of Amistad have been broken."

Andreas is not saying anything that is shocking at all. The Boondocks even had an episode making fun of BET but there seem to be some truth to it. You have to watch these two episodes. BET had Cartoon Network remove these episodes so no one could watch it in the Unites States. They failed to realize nowadays people can get anything from the internet and I was one of those who tuned in. You have to watch this it is hilarious but so true.
