There have been so many down right racist and bigoted remarks made by Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan and Malik Zulu Shabazz I tend to get confused. thank you for the corrections. But why is there never any outcry over these four men and there racism?, what do they all have in common? What motivates the Media to remain silent?
1st... the media haven't been too silent on this. it was reported widely.
2nd...jackson did make the hymietown remark. sharpton made comments that were reported in the media like "Diamond Merchants, Bloodsucking Jews, White Interlopers and Jew Bastards."
3rd...al sharpton NEVER apologizes. he didn't on the brawley case, and he was found guilty by a court of law for defamation et al...he didn't apologize for the duke case, or to the jewish people for the above comments...so i don't expect an apology here.
4th...while sharpton may be dead wrong, yet again, i don't think this is comparable to the imus thing. a big deal that was made in the rutgers thing was that these girls weren't public figures, but merely students...private citizens who weren't "celebrities" and therefore weren't "fair game" for media comments. mitt romney is a public figure.
5th...as far as him "offending" another religion and so forth,,,he is a preacher. and he's hardly the 1st preacher who has called other religions "false" religions. pat robertson has gone farther than this without missing a step. jerry falwell has made a career out of calling other faiths false. the falseness of other religions, even protestant sects that worship the same God that the Catholic's do is the catholic church's doctrine and a main point they raise early and often in any religious debate. (just ask lulapilgrim).
6th...but like with imus, if the sponsors pull their ads,,,al will be gone,,,if they don't, he'll stay...it's all about ratings and revenue.
