Aaron Mcgruder Snubbed by the BET.

Last Saturday the BET held an award show honoring African Americans Achievers, but stop short when it came to giving a nod to one of most thought provoking authors and social commentators of this generation, Aaron Mcgruder. Many believe Mcgruder was undoubtedly passed-over due to his passed criticism of the BET’s programming; criticism found in his groundbreaking comic strip, and television show, The Boondocks.

    That sucks but it isn’t surprising. Maybe it’s “too smart” for their audience, a la the De La & Little Brother videos they refuse to play?

    BET’s just got a bunch of haters. Aaron Mcgruder is the man. He talks about real problems in the community and keeps his stuff hilarious at the same time. BET needs to switch before they get left behind.
