when will rev. sharpton and rev. jesse jackson speak out about rappers?

[nehemiah]

WHY HAVE THEY NOT DONE SO!!??

oops.... yes they have.


The criticisms of Lil' Kim were launched amid an anti-rap movement that began in March, soon after shots were fired by the rival entourages of 50 Cent and the Game outside a New York radio station. Al Sharpton demanded that the Federal Communications Commission ban violent rappers from radio and television, and he launched a boycott against Universal Music Group, which he accused of "peddling racist and misogynistic black stereotypes" through rap music. Sharpton expressed special concern about white perceptions of African Americans. Rappers and their corporate supporters "make it easy for black culture to be dismissed by the majority," he said, and the large white fan base "has learned through rap images to identify black male culture with a culture of violence."

Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition signed on to the boycott, as did Princeton professor Cornel West, who issued a statement claiming that music companies and rappers made it easy for whites to "view black bodies and black souls as less moral, oversexed and less intelligent."

yeah, but rap and hip hop started promoting violence and disrespect of women and authority as well as drug use and alcoholism long before 2005. So again I ask, what took them so long? Glad they did, but they should have acted far sooner.

I always wondered how they got his hair to go like that

[Matt]

I've said very little if anything about Sharpton and Jacksons necessity to attack the rap industry, however, I feel that they are racism ambulance chasers and fueled by greed and publicity no matter who they chase.

Just as people are going to feel Imus is a racist no matter what he does from this point forward.

[TheCrystalBall]

Let's ban Boyz in the hood, Menace to society, the departed, goodfellas, godfather 1,2,3, about a billion other movies...

Any movie that MAKES any group look bad should BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY

Who is with me?

[shiva2999]

Let's ban Romeo and Juliet because it could encourage teenagers to commit suicide.

Let's ban Julius Caesar because it could encourage some nut to whack the President.

[TheCrystalBall]

Let's ban Romeo and Juliet because it could encourage teenagers to commit suicide.

Let's ban Julius Caesar because it could encourage some nut to whack the President.

Let's ban people who are against the war because it could embolden the terorrists and lead to the killing of American soldiers. If you're caught reading a Chomsky or Howard Zinn book aloud or repeating their ideas, you're going to jail for treason.

[mighty peace warrior]

Al Sharpton is an attention whore and a scumbag

Tawana Brawley anyone?

[mighty peace warrior]

only artists are allowed free speech right Shiva?

[TheCrystalBall]

Let's ban Romeo and Juliet because it could encourage teenagers to commit suicide.

I say fock it...just ban the internet - all problems solved.

[shiva2999]

You know as well as I do I didn't say that.

Do you think you'd keep your job very long if you went on a rant about jigaboos, spearchuckers and nappy headed hos in your local Portland newspaper?

[buffalo_rocks]

When will Sharpton apologize to the Duke lacrosse players for calling them "white priveledged rapists"?

Al Sharpton is a hypocrite and a racist.

[shiva2999]

Can you find a link for that?

[Mouldsie]

when will humanity stop being hypocritical, biased, and selectively attentive?

[Mouldsie]

oh yea, and learn to read

my job is much different than most.

you are excusing the poor behavior of the few because they are "artists"

a musician calling another person "jigaboos, spearchuckers and nappy headed hos" is not ok just because they are "artists"

[mighty peace warrior]

oh yea, and learn to read

perhaps you should start leading by example?

every time you tell us how stupid everyone else is, the truth comes out...

[35Pete]

The problem with going after musicians, is that it is considered an art form where creativity and or social commentary is accepted.

[JoeMama]

Anyone who has concerns about popular black culture should watch The Boondocks.

It's one of the best satires ever.

[nehemiah]

:rofl:

there is NO difference b/t the use of the word nappy headed ho or "******" for that matter.... when spoken by david duke or ice cube.

Speaking your opinion for or against the war is one thing. When protesters "riot", obstruct justice, or trespass...thats a whole different thing.

A white guy wrote it.

[TRIPLE P]

Imus is a guy who said something that pissed some famous people off.

Imus makes money selling a radio show he performs.

He sells it to broadcasting companies.

They use shows to fill the time between commercials.

When they thought they couldn't sell commercials to the show the bought from Imus they decided to not air the show.

Imus got fired.

Its pretty simple.... people latched on to something and made it a big deal.... I personally think the Imus show would be more popular than ever if they brought it back...but maybe not quite popular enough to make it worth broadcasting for the company.... and alienating the other, more valuable, programs in the MSNBC and CBS broadcasting companies.

They run businesses.

How many of you would hire Imus to speak for you, or to represent you to clients and the general public...?

Neither would they.
