Well, at least someone gave him a smack. The problem with the Sharptons and the Jessee Jacksons (to a lesser extent) is that we need them. But we need them to deal with these issues in a sober way that continues to build respect for them and for their causes. It just seems like Sharpton is looking for an excuse to collect a crowd and create a fuss, when the task could be done much better and in a much more respectful way. Someone compared him to an "ambulance-chasing lawyer."
Oprah, you don't get off so easy either. Bringing these poor girls on your show (I didn't see it by the way) because somebody called them "nappy headed hos." You, Miss Winfrey, were above that. What happened?
What you should have done was you should have brought some actual nappy headed hos on to your show, and stood them next to the Rutgers Women's Basketball team. What we all would have noticed is that the actual nappy headed hos don't look like the Rutgers women. Maybe they look like Sharpton and that's what he's so upset about.
Then, and only after doing this, could we have made a fair judgment of Imus.
Go ahead, fire me too.
