Why doesn't Sharpton go after Whoopi Goldberg?

Last night I watched her on Bravo. She cracked a joke about a 5 yr old black boy and referred to him as a n*g^%r. I'll bet Al and Jesse won't go running after that one!

    We ALL know that black people are the only human beings on the planet who can freely use that term.

    This strikes me as being two-faced. Obviously they don't really object to it.

    Whoopi is in love with the emperor but he's half white and she's not sure which part is white.

    The brothers can't go after the sisters unless she is white. Whoopie is not white.

    This is just one example of millions of how much of a double standard there is in broadcasting on all TV networks and radio shows.

    She was making a point listen to it again and they say that word to each but they don't mean it the way Caucasian people mean it, and they are the only ones that can say it so don't even try it

    Are you kidding? The Reverend Al, Mr.BS himself would never take any person of color and rag on them. That also includes Ms.Oprah, the divine one. She will have every person of color on her show and never say anything disparaging about them, even if they just got out of Jail. That simply is not done.

    Hey! Feel free to call yourself a honky. No one will mind.

    Wasn't Whoopi magnificent on CNN? Her intelligent analysis may have had an impact in getting Imus fired. I certainly hope so.

    I believe she was making a point. And anyone who watched it would tell you the same thing. Dumbass.
