Isn't there something better to do with your time, Mr. Sharpton??

Jesus Christ. Who the fuck does Rev. Al Sharpton think he is? In his crusade to limit people from expressing themselves in a way that offends and denigrates others, he wants to get the music companies to cow tow to his every whim. Does the following news article reek of bullshit?

And now, he's backing New York Sen. Antoine Thompson who wants to pull over $3 billion in investments from music labels that have rappers on their payrolls. Rappers that use words like Nigger, Bitch, Ho and a host of other negative and offensive words. Don't get me wrong, I HATE rap music. I hate it more than watching people eat their own feces... and I REALLY hate that. But what's really great about this country is that it has roots in the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. Can you say that with me folks? Free-dom of Ex-press-shun. Good for you. Here's a gold star.

Offensive rap music has been around for years - I remember Easy E and NWA back in high school. Where were you, Mr. Sharpton when they became a founding band of hardcore gangsta rap? Where were you when Ice Cube, Snoop Dog and Dr. Dre were making it big? You didn't even jump on Eminem, who's white and uses words like Ho, Bitch and Faggot. Were you too busy doing the show Ally McBeal or maybe too busy trying to make a name of yourself? So, when twenty years roll by you're suddenly fighting the good fight? What a crock of shit.

Since the downfall of Imus, you've been on this crusade to limit the expression of musicians who use foul language and objectionable speech. What, did the anti-foul and racist language bug drive itself up your ass? And now you're backing government-sponsored extortion. It's the closest thing to censorship one can get from the government without getting rid of the First Amendment. No, we don't need to change the Bill of Rights, lets just cut off financial investments. That'll get 'em. Riiiieeet.

Hey, Mr. Sharpton. Here's a simple solution for you. Simply stop listening to whatever you object to. And stop being the crusader for minority and women's rights. Who died and left you to take on this role?

This is a free-market society, Mr. Sharpton. As long as there is a demand, there will be a supply. And right now, that demand is high. When there's a change in that, the supply will disappear and the rappers who sing about bitchy nigga ho's on their junk will disappear, too.

Until then.. go fuck yourself.

Oh, by the way.. Has the funeral of the word "Nigger" done anything to curb its use? Umm.. No. I don't think so. Woot to the NAACP! Another futile effort in stifling expression.
