The Don Imus fiasco, once again, shows exactly how much the "main stream media" ignores so-called "Black leaders" and the Black media when Blacks are attempting to address issues in the Black community?
[ What do you mean D.S.? ]
Listening to mainstream talk radio in the Baltimore-D.C. corridor, it was evident that they had no clue that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Sr., and Lewis Farrakhan, to name a few, have blasted the lyrics in rap and rappers.

I sent a few links to 2 talk show hosts. One recognized he was wrong and backed down some, the other kept spewing.
It's funny how the "mainstream media" can give coverage to so-called "Black leaders" at certain times while ignoring them at other times. For example, when Cosby was given press for his comments, how many in the press stated the NAACP audience applauded vs. how many stated otherwise?
