"We cannot afford a precedent established that the airwaves can be used to commercialize and mainstream sexism and racism. But there will be no champagne bottle popping by those of us involved in this. This is not about gloating," Sharpton said. (Editor's note: from CNN.com's Imus coverage)
Has Mr. Sharpton ever seen a rap video or heard a rap album? Seems like record labels, radio industry, and television stations have "commercialized" the sexism and racism just fine. I don't understand why airing a 50 Cent video is still ok, but airing Imus's show is not.
Why does no one in the media discuss this?
