Actually Tawany Brawley accused 6 white men most of whom were law enforcement of raping beating and covering her in feces, and Sharpton was right beside her, much like he was at Duke next to stripper, who had a history of mental problems and accusations of this before but there he was lending a helping hand to yet another victim of cruel "white" enslavement. He was found libel and oredered to pay 65,000 in restitutaion which he has not done to this very date, the two lawyers who defended her , were dis-barred for their irresponsibility in the case. The double standard exsits whether we as a human race want to admit it or not and until we hold all people accountable it will countinue to divide this country along racial lines. My opinions may slant to a conservative side but I am for equal rights for all humans and it sickens me at the out pouring of support these irrelevant two men should be. The leader of the New Black Party crusified those kids at Duke, no apology. Malik Shabazz called columnist Michelle Malkin a "political prostitue" last night on live television, don't expect Al or Jesse to demand him to apologize. The double standard is alive and well and it will continue.....period.

Very good post. I'm not black, but I have to believe the majority of the black people in this country think poorly of Sharpton and Jackson. Sharpton and Jackson both create good drama which, of course, is all the nightly news anymore. It will be nice when the day comes that everyone in America refers to themselves as "Americans" and not Anglo-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, etc. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.
It did happen; remember the months following 9/11 "we" "all" had American Flags and red,white,and blue proudly displayed for the first time in my generation ( I'm 27) that we came together as a nation of human beings not white not black not brown humans, Americans please don't tell me terrorists have to kill 3000 more before we wake up?

Ah, as I scroll up a few posts, I see the apologists have come to the rescue of the double-standard of stereotypical racism. All under the disguise of a bleeding-heart, righteous Halo of love

I love hypocrites! They make my day!
I hope they do apologize, but I'm sure it doesn't really make a difference to you anyway. You won't be happy until they take the 2 prominant black public speakers off the air, right? Cause they are holding down the white man!!
Poor Imus, it is so hard to be a white man in todays America. I'm going to be crying for him all week.

LOL, that's the lamest and most pathetic response to this issue. It completely tip-toes around or ignores the real issue at hand. Your goofy response is one which advocates, supports and defends stereotypical racist/discriminatory double-standards and enables the vicious cycle to continue; till it comes around full circle. It amazes me how so many people, who are intelligent in so many aspects; yet completely lack the foresight and awareness of historical evidence to comprehend where this approach is leading us. Cause and effect. Push and Pull. Action/ Reaction.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

I don't understand your comment. had imus said jigaboos i find that word offensive and not comical at all.. however nappy and ho have comical undertones and are frequently used in black comedy. imus may not be labeled a comedian per say but his show does have a sprinkling of comedy mixed in. and your average black man with a sense of humor that hears this nappy headed himself by the way... old white man say it on the air..somewhere someplace there was a black guy with a sense of humor listening and chuckling when that comment was made.
From Fox News:
NEW YORK — Syndicated talk-radio personality Don Imus apologized Friday for calling members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" during a segment yesterday in his "Imus in the Morning" show.
Imus and his producer and on-air sidekick, Bernard McGuirk, went on to further attack the black members of the team, calling them "jigaboos and wannabees."
In his apology, Imus called his comments "insensitive and ill-conceived."
"It was completely inappropriate, and we can understand why people were offended," he told listeners at the opening of his broadcast Friday morning.
He further called the comments "thoughtless and stupid" and said, "We're sorry."
The apology came after Imus initially brushed aside criticism, telling The New York Times "not to worry about some idiot saying something meant to be amusing."
Rutgers officials issued this statement: "We agree with Mr. Imus that this was, in his own words, an 'idiot comment.' We are very proud of the success of the Rutgers women's basketball team. Coach Stringer and the Rutgers players are outstanding ambassadors for this great institution."
----
Now, a black comedian might use the terms "nappy" and "hos" to some comedic effect... I guess... but I can't imagine the exact dialogue that Imus and his producer used would ever be used by black comedians... and there was nothing funny about it. It wasn't even a botched joke. It was just ignorant and insensitive stupidity.

I was just pushing what you have been posting further. It was obviously sarcasm. I don't really understand why it has to be a black vs white thing at all.
I am white, yet am not very upset that an old white guy got fired for making an unprovoked hurtfull verbal attack on a womans basketball team. I don't feel the need to find black guys who have said stupid things to show that the 'other side' is just as bad.
I don't think of black and white as political parties I guess. I find no reason to stick up for Imus, even though he has the same skin tone that I do.

That is the equivalent of saying a woman deserves to be raped for being intoxicated, or because of what she was wearing, ect.
Nobody deserves to be raped, and nobody deserves to be falsely accused of rape.
