It's about time!!!

That I posted something. And it's about time that America took notice to the racist words that are used in everyday conversation. Some crusty old white guy blurts out a phrase commonly used by blacks and it's on like donkey kong. Here's what I don't understand. Imus has been crude and disrespectful for decades, why all of a sudden is this a big deal. It's a big deal because someone finally had the cohones to stand up and say "That's not right, you shouldn't say that about those girls". And they are right because when you get down to the basics they are made in the image of God just like you and me. The main problem that I have with this issue is that Al Sharpton, who somehow got elected to represent the entire black population, takes issue with these racist comments because, really, lets get honest here...a white guy said it. It is just like the 'n' word is okay for blacks to say to blacks but a white honkey like me says it and 'oh baby' look out. Don't misunderstand me here...NO one should use that word to describe any human being but Al, why have you never taken offense to blacks using offensive language in lyrics of songs and everyday language. And by the way, Al, haven't you been documented as refering to the Greeks as 'homos'.. uh, I believe so. And don't try to get the 'slogan' 'don't strip scholarship' Jackson, or should I say... Jesse "Himeytown" Jackson involved here. Where is the outcry against these racial slurs? And while we're looking at inconsistencies what about Hilary "I'm having trouble controlling the VOLUME OF MY VOICE" Clinton who has publicly expressed here disdain for the comments and yet has no problem taking $800,000.00 from a record producer who puts out his own albums in which one 3 minute song contains the 'n' word 24 times. Double standard or does money cover a multitude of sins....

That whole story is too much for me. I wonder if Sharpten will be apologizing to the "racist" Duke Lacross players anytime soon...
