I find the silence deafening as there isn't any apologies coming from Al
Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, after they jumped on the band wagon to crucify
the young Duke lacrosse players. They made crusades and trooped
down to demonstrate before the facts were proven and those young men
won't be whole either from all the accusations Al and Jesse brought to bear.
Where are the apologies to these young men from these two so called black
leaders? Where are the condemnation of the woman that lied about this event
as she did in past events? The double standard by the left is plain to see. At
least Imus had the balls to face his wrong doing and the straw that broke his
back with apologies aplenty. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson don't ever seem
to be such stand uP men. First to say that most ills are caused by whites and
when facts prove that a black is wrong the silence is deafening as they walk
away, uncompromising, unlike Imus who stood uP and faced his human failings.
Imus did the right thing and ate crow. Will Al and Jesse do the same?
This one way street won't see the far lefts black leaders admitting their
mistakes, and make whole those they trash before the facts are known.

A white man trashes young school athletes and he gets his just rewards.
Two black leaders go out of their way to trash young school athletes and
they walk away with out being snapped uP by anyone .... shame on the
media and all those that would allow the double standard by sculking away
yet yell loud and clear against the white man who puts his foot in his mouth !

The left needs to do the right thing ! Where is the justice in this situation as
these young men don't have any peace?

So calling for the silencing of people simply because their political opinions differ from yours is what you call standing up for what is right and defending your beliefs?

I was just kiding around, because I think the whole situation is so rediculous. I listened to the recording of the full comment from Imus and all I heard was him calling these girls kinda ugly. The whites and blacks. Really all the girls in general.
Sure it was wrong, but not racist. Should he be punished? Sure if the company that he represents didn't like it. But not by any black people or persons.
Remember, It is "Freedom of speech", not "Freedom of speech as long as you don't offend someone". If you don't like a comment that someone says, don't get mad, just don't listen.

PS. You know, we need a spell check. I can't spell worth a krap.

:lol: Dooner if you put the Google tool bar and the Google advanced tool bar on you will get spell checking as you type. It won't check for words spelled correct but wrong meaning though.
