Finn's mom.... Thanks for posting that article. A very interesting read. It brings to mind one of the "teachings" from when I was a kid.... "You can't expect anyone to respect you when you can't even respect yourself" and that is so true. Not saying these girls don't respect themselves... it is more these rappers and comedians and such that complain about racism and not getting the respect they think they deserve. People say that if the words come from your own race it is not racism.... I disagree. Those words are just as damaging if not more so than if it came from someone outside your race. Not saying that racism from anyone is appropriate.... but you can't expect others to turn a blind eye when comedians are constantly making cracks about drug dealing, pimpin out ho's and gang violence.... they are only perpetuating their own stereotype that they claim they are trying to change.

As for Sharpton wanting to regulate what people can say on the radio.... that shouldn't just apply to talk radio.... they need to address ALL of it. LOL when I was younger the radio station I listened to in the car often had "mild" swear words that were not bleeped out.... my mom told me about when she was younger the song "wake up little Susie" was banned from radio play because it inferred that these two people were having premarital relationships and disobedience. Amazing how times change.

Not to change the subject but look at kids movies from when you were a kid and then look at movies like Shrek or Ice Age 2... they say D*mn.... H*ll and have quite a bit of adult humor.... you never would have seen that 20 years ago in a childs movie, now it is the norm.
