Let's start with a quote:
"The most appalling of McGruder's reckless charges was that BET 'does not serve the interest of black people.'

Cartoonist Aaron McGruder has long been a thorn in B.E.T's side with his daily strip The Boondocks, constantly needling the network on behalf of anyone who's seen a bit too much booty and bling. That message gets a whole lot louder and effective — after all, McGruder was only half right in titling his first collection, Because I Know You Don't Read The Newspaper (he could have left out "The Newspaper") — in this previously unaired clip from the animated version of The Boondocks that imagines a typical B.E.T. boardroom meeting.
