Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson beat the I-man, they took him down right quick. And now, people want them to continue their crusade with the vulgar likes of Rap Music. I have not heard either one of these gentlemen denounce and ask for the firing of any Rap Singers. The problem is...there is a very big double standard. It is so prevalent after the comments Don Imus made, yes, they were terrible. But worse is the crap i hear spewing our of young teen vehicles that I am unfortunate enough to have to be stuck in at a red light with. What Imus said was mild to this vile garbage that Sharpton and Jackson have never condemned. No.. I am sorry you cannot claim this terrible music as a cultural thing. If I even tried to buy into that bunch of garbage, I would have to believe that you want to degrade women, just don't let white men do it. Come on, that is ridiculous. This is serious. I have been fighting for 15 years to get this rap music to put down their vile lyrics, and the most i ever accomplished was getting a local cd shop to put Beasty Boys "Nasty as you Wanna Be" behind the counter. I don't have the voice of Jackson and Sharpton, I have no pull at all. I am just a concerned Parent and now Grandparent trying to protect my children from hearing this crap. I do not like the selective extinction of Don Imus.
