Al. I hope he proves he is not a hypocrite. To: Rev. Al Sharpton, National Action Network a The comedian, DL Hughley recently made the following comments on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: "There were some nappy headed women on the team and those are some of the ugliest women I have ever seen in my life.” DL HUGHLEY on Jay Leno. Where is the outcry from mainstream media, the African American community, or all these people that called for Imus' head on a platter? The Rutgers Women's Basketball team members are beautiful! When the world gave them an opportunity to rage and unleash a fury toward Imus, they didn't. That's beautiful. When they had the eyes of the world on them, the exhibited grace and dignity. That's beautiful. When they had every reason and opportunity to malign and attack Imus, they forgave him. That's beautiful. D.L. Hughley's latest venture was canceled so he tried to piggyback on a painful period in our history by attempting to get a laugh on the cheap and THAT. WAS. UGLY! WhatAboutOurDaughters.org is dedicated to combating negative portrayals of African American Women in popular culture. Apparently after Studio 60 went belly-up, DL landed at BET, the bastion of black empowerment ( NOT!). His new show on BET is called S.O.B., a hidden camera reality show. Ask Viacom, the owner of BET, if this is the kind of message it wants to send to African American women and girls. What about our daughters? Or are you only concerned when the degradation of Black women comes from outside the community? </p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/04/20/the_reverend_al.php#comment-1072287 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/04/20/the_reverend_al.php#comment-1072287 Comments Sun, 22 Apr 2007 15:27:25 -0500 <p>Fulani will use anything to get her name out there...if Fred Newman told her it suited her to be a nappy headed ho she'd boast that she was one...</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2007/04/20/the_reverend_al.php#comment-1071924 http://www.gothamist.com/2007/04/20/the_reverend_al.php#comment-1071924 Comments Sat, 21 Apr 2007 10:26:06 -0500 <p>For those who want to know "How come, after all his vileness, does Sharpton maintain his power base?" the answer is right there. The Democrats are the ones propping up Sharpton and they should be ashamed of themselves.</p>
