The first video, dumb nappy head blames hip hop lyrics on George Washington.

Then the dumb#### Shabazz comes in. He calls her a "prostitute" and defends it.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

That reporter chick was awesome. She stuck to her guns and nailed him right. Kudos to FOX news!!!!

 

[Dutch6]

I don't understand how the good Black Americans allow people like this to be a mouth piece for them...... Now there is a racist!

 

[flomaster]

They all rely on Bill Cosby to speak for them. sad but true.

 

[vraiblonde]

Nope. Enlighten me.

Never mind. I assumed he was a Malcolm X offspring, but apparently not.

Leader of the "New" Black Panther Party. This time around, they are in cahoots with Farrakhan.

I love the debate, but I would've preferred it to be between a black person and a white person. Opio is fighting a battle that's not her own IMO.

For the record, I don't see anything wrong with the fact that Imus said what he said ONLY because people say what they want out of their mouths all day everyday. However, I don't like that anyone has ugly feelings towards anybody else but it happens and those feelings belong to the person feeling them. He may owe his company and the sponsors an apology but if he said it, he feels it and there is no need to apologize for being yourself.

As far as Al and Jesse goes, I don't think they do a good job of protesting in the media against rappers and record labels who produce music that is degrading to black people. However, I don't know their efforts to say they DON'T do anything at all. Do, I feel there is a double standard when it comes to the battles Al and Jesse take on, yes and no. Yes, because there are black people doing the same things they preach against to each other but no because that's what the cause they fight for is about so to expect them to just turn their heads when something comes up is ridiculous. It's like expecting God to turn his head when a sin he hates is committed. But, I stand that if the N word is used, or any racist remarks are made that whoever makes them no matter what the race is or what race its about the water should hold the same weight.

And for the record, black people are not the only race who speaks ugly about each other. It's because black people especially Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have not forgotten what went on in the 50s and 60s so if you think they are just going to close their ears it won't happen. However, when they are both no longer on the earth there probably won't be many left to argue the point. So, it would be more successful for each one to reach one and teach one than to fight a battle alone that way it ensures that in the future we as black people will not forget who we are so that we don't accept anyone calling us those things which we are not. I would love to see more people walking with Al and Jesse to tackle the entire negativity against black people mainly from black people. Because THAT is what is going to put an end to the rest of it. Start at home...

I'm just glad to see that people inside the black community are debating this. It seems most in the African-American community agree that the general majority of rap music is degrading to blacks and women and that there needs to be some ethnic cleansing. I've enjoyed seeing the sociological debates all week and sure hope it continues.

What is sad is that the record labels and artists fail to realize that with or without the curse words or use of the N word or degradations people will still listen to their music. But, it's all about competition. If one radio station plays it and the ratings increase then all radio stations will do it just to keep up.

It's like the doctor's office that David the Admin was at where he said there was a vending machine full of unhealthy snacks just below a poster about diabetes.

The people in charge at Def Jam and WPGC probably will NOT let their young children/grandchildren listen to that filth but they allow it to be on the air for other people's children to be exposed to.

I can't even download music without TRYING to find ones that are clean and I will NOT spend money on rap artists who use those words in their songs. I do buy CDs of artists who make the effort to produce music that everyone can enjoy. I love hip hop and rap, I cringe when I hear a bleep or negative slip through, but I like the music. It's just sad that they feel the need to include that in the lyrics.

I do wonder how many people in my generation are willing to be a Bill Cosby or Maya Angelou when those two are gone. It's scary.

Oh and if anyone watches Fox's The War At Home last weekend the F word was used though bleeped out, the mom used the F word. It was before 8pm on Sunday night and so that is just another indication of how low the resistance is getting.

Aps, and I were discussing a commercial about a home pregnancy test where the announcer siad it was "the best technology you can pee on" (or something like that) and I couldn't believe "pee" was being said on television. A few months ago I heard the same commercial and the announcer guy said "it's the best technology you can 'you know' on". So someone somewhere in the industry is listening and realizing that certain things are not necessary. Thank goodness.

Black Panther&quo... 04-14-2007 11:50 AM If you hate black people so much you should kill yourself, and don't worry they won't be anywhere near your special place in hell.

So, because I don't know who some random Louis Farrakhan wanna-be is, I hate black people and I'm going to hell? :

I'd love to know who the random karmabomber who has this crush on me and drops me karma labeled "racist" every three days is.

That way I know where to place my next cross

Why are you asking? Surely, you don't believe in karma.

We don't. These people are the ones the black community such a bad rep.
Given most crimes are commited by blacks, but there are so many others that you don't hear about because it is not news worthy

Because there's a small field of contestants who could have typed that. I think I just narrowed the field down.

I don't mind reading monkeyshines from time to time. Laughing is healthy for the soul.
