You may want to read <a href=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/10/AR2007041001891.html>Michael Wilbon's</a> take on Imus. It's pretty damning regarding his history. You may need to register.

Oh, and yes Sharpton has spoken out against rap artists and called for a boycott and a moratorium. Of course, that doesn't get the press because it's not sensational and doesn't press the agenda that some people have for him (or against him). So don't just dismiss it as "News to me" - do research. </p><p> From Jemele Hill's ESPN column:<br> "Last week, Sharpton and hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons held a public protest against rapper Tony Yayo -- who is associated with 50 Cent -- for his alleged assault of the 14-year-old son of a rival record company executive. Sharpton even called for a 90-day, FCC-mandated ban on all gangsta music.</p><p? And I have no idea what would have happened if a black talk show host would have said that because I don't think it's happened, so I don't speculate.
