Let's stipulate: I have no love for Don Imus, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. A pox on all their race-baiting houses.
Let's also stipulate: The Rutgers women's basketball team didn't deserve to be disrespected as "nappy-headed hos." No woman deserves that. I agree with the athletes that Imus's misogynist mockery was "deplorable, despicable and unconscionable." And as I noted on Fox News's "O'Reilly Factor" this week, I believe top public officials and journalists who have appeared on Imus's show should take responsibility for enabling Imus — and should disavow his longstanding invective.
But let's take a breath now and look around. Is the Sharpton & Jackson Circus truly committed to cleaning up cultural pollution that demeans women and perpetuates racial epithets? Have you seen the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart this week?

That was the non-obscene part?!?!?
I would love to see a copy of the CD’s and tracks on mp3 players the team at Rutgers own and see what the lyrics say.
Wow. Malkin nails it.
Her point is WELL taken.
I didn’t understand a word of the “Libretto”.

Is this from scrappleface???
Has there been any information on the Rutgers women’s basketball team? Are they legitimate Rutgers students - and majoring in what - or are they, as MANY school teams are, hired athletes? I haven’t seen this information anywhere yet.
“One dumb radio/television shock jock’s insult is a drop in the ocean of barbaric filth and anti-female hatred on the radio.
Imus gets a two-week suspension. What kind of relief do we get from this deadening, coarsening, dehumanizing barrage from young, black rappers and their music industry enablers who have helped turn America into Tourette’s Nation?”
Right on, Michelle.
There is a double standard for what black people are allowed to say, and what everyone else is allowed to say. The person would brought the word “Ho” into our national “debate” is Eddie Murphy in his Saturday Night Live skits as Venus Jones, the pimp. If you want an eye-opener on what black people are allowed to say in public, on TV, without being called on it, check out A&E Actors Studio interviews with Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy. That freak of a host was totally appalled, but just sat there like a jackass.
Foul Sharptongue is for Foul Sharptongue. He doesn’t care about black people. He doesn’t care if black people do well in life. He cares about advancing himself. Someone like the Rev. Peterson cares about black people and Bill Cosby seems to be the same. They don’t focus on the insignificant stuff.
No, there’s a video of it out there somewhere.
Right on, sir. And repeatin’ and repeatin’....
Ditto that.
...and she did so without calling anyone a F***ot.
(Ann Coulter, are you watching?)
Wow.
Yeah, this is what I would like my child to emulate! NOT.
WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?!?!?!?!?!?!
Michelle is right. The problem is that the double standard has gotten so bad that it only exists in public and for non-libs. In private, hood speak by white folks is perfectly acceptable in mixed groups. But, the error is that this crap is acceptable in any context.
I'm sure I'm going to get in trouble for saying this, but free speech is just that. Whether or not I like it is of no consequence to the broader issue. After all Harry Reid says some heinous stuff almost every day. Just because he is a lying skunk doesn't preclude him from saying what he says.
I don’t know if it’s made up or not. Here’s another version of it without so many F’s in it but still with quite a few.
