One of the biggest critics of Black Entertainment Television says she will make a public apology Friday to Debra L. Lee, the networkâs chairwoman and chief executive, for supporting a protest, right, outside Ms. Leeâs home in Washington. The cyberspace mea culpa comes from Gina McCauley, a lawyer whose site WhatAboutOurDaughters.blogspot.com has admonished BET for misogynistic and racially insensitive programming. But Ms. McCauley said on Thursday that the five months of protests led by a group calling itself Enough Is Enough now lacked specificity and impact. âI thought this was more like the Montgomery bus boycott, but going into the sixth month, this looks more like the Salem witch trials or âThe Scarlet Letter,âÂ â Ms. McCauley said in an e-mail message. The protests are led by Baptist ministers who say that BET broadcasts music videos that degrade women and black and Latino men. After focusing on Ms. Lee, the protest rallies spread to the Upper East Side home of Philippe Dauman, the president and chief executive of Viacom, which owns BET. The Rev. Delman L. Coates, pastor of the Mount Ennon Baptist Church in Clinton, Md., and the protest organizer, said on Thursday that the rallies brought attention and were one weapon in their battle.
