Your Two Cents Required: Al Sharpton's Anti-'Roboho' Crusade

Under normal circumstances I can never bring myself to tune into the Fox News channel, but when I saw Al Sharpton sweating out his edges arguing with Harvey Levin I decided to give my clicker a rest.

Harvey Levin, the managing editor for TMZ.Com refused to back down as he appeared on the Fox show Hannity and Colmes on Tuesday night and told Al Sharpton that he would not be "Imused." That is of course in reference to Don Imus who got the ax from his long time radio program for dubbing the Rutgers basketball team as a bunch of nappy headed ho's.

Levin ripped Sharpton for playing the race card. he dubbed him a bully. TMZ used the word "Roboho" two weeks ago in a humorous fashion review to describe an outfit Beyonce wore in performance at the BET Awards. In a statement to TMZ, The Rev said the use of the word was racist and misogynistic. (source)
