I know you don't feel sorry for him. But your posts on this topic have proven that you don't care about fairness. I've always defended Al Sharpton. I've always thought that he was getting a bad rap. But his hypocritical crusade against Imus has done more damage than good unless he and the rest of his hypocrites are ready to attack this problem at its source.

After the way Imus has been crucified, I'm all for it. Let's get rid of them all. Even all the African American comedians and musicians who make racial and sexist slurs against blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, etc. Nobody should be allowed to use that kind of language anymore.

I get the gist of why his comments deserved rebuke. But you advocate ruining a man's life and everything he's built over a misdemeanor; over a crime that many others commit intentionally and repeatedly. As long as the Dave Chapelles and the rap/hip-hop community are all held to the same standard then I suppose we will have accomplished what it is you think we accomplished by destroying one man's life over language that is routinely exploited by others as a vehicle for commercial success.
