I see you point...I do. I'm just saying that I don't believe that because of how it looked from the "female angle" that means they shouldn't have done it...

she gets out there running her mouth.... doesn't matter if she's a woman or not. They didn't "directly" call her that...it was indirect, yet specific...and that's why I have no problem with it.

or Quest could have not tweeted about it before the broadcast. He should have left it to urban legend, and when asked about it say that he didn't know what folks were talking about. I mean that's what I would have done. But I'm not mad at him for standing by the decision to play the song..

and yes ..they could have chosen a diffent song..... me..I would have done Too Short's She's a b......lol.

I do. I think how they did it just doesn't bother me as much. I think it was worth the scrutiny...I mean as long as they don't get fired.

See me....I don't care what the other side has to run with. It doesn't matter what they have to run with because we are talking about a group of people with no integrity whatsoever and no desire to speak the truth about anything. They are ignorant, undersocialized, racist clowns who should not be afford respects that you would give to reasonable people.

and honestly ..what saves the Roots on this is that they didn't call the woman anything....it was an indirect jab.

sometimes you need to smack the otherside in the mouth. they've earned it.
