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 Ms. McCauley said in an e-mail message.

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.
