When is it Al Sharptons turn to apologize and have his supposed title of "Reverend" revoked for all of the false accusations and racist remarks toward Steven Pagones in the Tawana Brawley case back in the eighties? Or what about the crown heights riots? (which by the way last I checked any "man of the cloth" is supposed to be all about peace and love for all of god's children correct? but yet "Reverend" Al Sharpton helped incite the riots) Not gonna happen is it? yeah I didnt think so either.
I'm not agreeing with what Imus said at all and im the last person to be racist considering im half white and half hispanic and have plenty of black, white, spanish, asian, and middle eastern friends and I dont even like Imus to be honest with you BUT why is there ALWAYS a double standard?
The guy messed up and said the wrong thing as a joke and in the process offended people, he apologized and was suspended for two weeks and it shouldve ended there but instead the media got over involved as usual and basically hung the guy out to dry...what happened to free speech? why is it that if anyone whos not white cracks a joke about white people hes considered a comedic genius?(for example: Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor an plenty of other guys whos comedy I LOVE) but when it's the other way around it's racist? I'm all about free speech and all that and to be honest i dont mind white jokes and i dont mind hispanic jokes and being both it shouldnt bother me...why? BECAUSE I KNOW ITS A JOKE! It's different if someone were to attack me personally or anyone for that matter with racist remarks but everyone knows the difference between comedy and racism and even if you don't everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether you agree with it or not.
All I'm saying is even if you dont agree with someones point of view or sense of humour doesnt give anyone other then the people who employ him to be on the radio as a public figure the right to call to have him fired. Instead the media and people like Al Sharpton make a huge deal about one small slip up of a bad joke and force advertisers and radio stations to drop someone who apparently has a big following and whos known for offending people in a joking matter, if you dont want to hear it THEN SHUT IT OFF! You've got a choice to listen to what you do and dont want to hear so make the choice!
When will Al Sharpton call for rappers to stop reffering to black women as "***** headed ****"? NEVER.
A black supremecist and a white supremicist are the same thing. but why are things like the NAACP and BET not considered to be racist? An all white owned and operated business is considerd racist and unfair and is forced to fill "minority quotas" but a black owned and operated business is perfectly ok and not given the same "minority quotas".
Seperatism is just as wrong as racism.
Ok I'm done ranting now and I apologize lol carry on Ladies and Gents
