Very interesting article about the hypocrisy of rappers,Al,etc. I personally feel there should be a boycott of their music and Al's show too.
The second reason is that blacks fear that if they publicly air their dirty racial laundry it will be gleefully twisted, mangled, and distorted into a fresh round of black bashing by whites. But that's a lame reason for not speaking out, and speaking out loudly against those blacks who either out of ignorance or for profit, or both, routinely commercialize racial and gender trash talk. That failure fuels the suspicion that blacks, and especially black leaders, are more than willing to play the race card, and call a white a bigot, when it serves their interest, but will circle the wagons and defend any black who comes under fire for bigotry, or for any other malfeasance.
The same standard of racial accountability must apply whether the racial and gender offender is an Imus or a 50 Cent. When it doesn't that's a double standard and that always translates into hypocrisy. Imus got his trash talk pass yanked. Now let's yank it from those blacks that do the same, or worse.

I agree 100%!! Don't all the Al Sharpton's out there realize by being so hypocritical when there is obviously a double standard, makes people more hateful and racist towards them...they basically fuel the racism fire!

Well, well! When Sharpton was attacking people you didn't like he was just fine. Now he goes after a big liberal supporter and we suddenly start to question Sharpton's motives? Where was all this criticism when Sharpton ran for the democratic presidential nomination?

Al Sharpton makes a living by dashing from one spotlight to the next. He is hardly a dictator, however.

I just think we should all be color-blind, just like their civil rights movement leader, MLK, wanted.
