Sharpton actually surprised me the
other day.  Maher commented how
the civil rights movement had moved
from the courts to the media and
how it's now all about playing
"gotcha" with whoever makes a
racist comment.  He also asked
Sharpton if the whole affair isn't
also about freedom of speech.

Sharpton's answer was that blacks
were now exercising their freedom
of speech to let advertisers know
they will not purchase goods from
companies if their money is being
used to pay people like Imus to
insult them.

I figure Imus was trying to be cool,
hip, keen or whatever adjective he
thinks young people want to be
today.  In doing so he managed
to show his disdain for blacks and
give people who already dislike
him some good ammunition.  He's
a jerk who thought he could make
himself look good by attacking
people who are much better than
he ever was.  It's nice he got fired.
