Al Sharpton is misinformed about this subject. Regarding the "N" word (nigga--I said it a la Chappelle show), Dr. King has been known to use this term during his days on Earth. While I am sure he would not agree with such a word being broadcasted throughout the media, the cultural significance of this show exceeds the repetitive use of the word, "nigga." Sharpton must also discern the difference between the racial epithetic term of nigga and the endearing term nigga. In an age where BET is doing more to desecrate Black folk than any network known to man (well, besides Fox News Network), I am surprised that Al Sharpton is not attacking Viacomm. Sharpton must stop attacking the advocates of Black progress and attack the ones who are actually destroying Dr. King's legacy.
