Whatever happened to “sticks and stones”?

This is the real problem:

The Reverend Al Sharpton, talking about Imus and other entertainers, says it’s time to show the media and the public that it is not necessary to be misogynist and racist to be creative or to be commercial in this country.

WIS asked students at on campus about the concert and the lyrics. One student, Kendra Johnson, says, “The radio host was out of line when he said it. Some rap artists may be out of line, but they don’t mean no harm.”

They..Don’t..Mean..No..Harm? Really?

Student Justin Miller says, “There’s always a time and place for everything. With hip hop music that’s a certain situation where those remarks can be used, but on public radio station pointed to a particular group it’s not proper.”

One more quote, and this is a good one…

Student Body President Deven Anderson says, “Being they are a performing artist group they’re merely here to entertain us. That’s nothing serious in content, they’re here to entertain.”

What is Imus but an “entertainer” (if you’re entertained by his brand of whatever it is)?

Imus deserves whatever he gets, but so does every other “artist” (yeah…artist, huh) that incorporates and repackages the same language in their product. Sharpton and Jackson are every bit as guilty as Imus. I don’t have time to go through all of their racist actions. Google it yourself.
