Read a Book!

Ok the animation and the designs on this are pretty cool in my book. Just the content I got a issue with. Why is everything on BET made to make Black folks look so ignorant and dumb?

I'm confused. Maybe you can help me out Mr. Moore.

Was this supposed to be a PSA, a satire, or something in between?

I laughed the whole way through then rolled my eyes in indignation.

The character design and animation are real nice. I guess BET knows that there audience are pretty dumb so they satire if we put it in a song they will learn. So it's a joke on BET and on Black folks still very sad.
Reading books since 1987. The more you know the more you grow. And that's one to grow on.

Does anyone know what studio did the animation?

P.S. I think this is the guy's site who recorded the song http://www.notarapper.com/base.htm
It is a pretty interesting site.
