Sharpton to TMZ: "Roboho" a Big No No
National Action Network President Al Sharpton has set his sights on TMZ.com over the word "Roboho" in a fashion piece that was published two weeks ago:
"Calling any woman a "ho" is demeaning and abusive and it should not be tolerated on any level. It is intolerable to think that TMZ.com would find humor in calling Beyonce -- someone who symbolizes the strength, dignity and uplifting of Black women -- a "Roboho," and they should be denounced by the entire community for glorifying the continued oppression of women with this derogatory term. Racism in America is perpetuated by ignorance and hate and using one's airwaves or media entity to promote it is a blatant setback to civil rights and the advancement of equality.
National Action Network has been in the forefront of protesting the word "ho" and will hold a 20-city tour featuring 100 women in each market on August 7th to protest the use of the word "ho" as well as the "N" and "B" words. We encourage TMZ.com to retract their misogynistic labeling of Beyonce and apologize immediately."I think Ol' Al should just let Jigga handle it.

Sharpton is the bigger ho. He and his pal "Bishop" Bernard "I'll make you a prophet for $365" Jordan. He needs to shut the f**k up.
Pathetic Sharpton trying to stay relevant. Weren't the awards a few weeks ago? Did it take him that long to write the letter? :-)
I cannot for the life of me understand why Al would do anything to lend any sort of credibility or relevance to TMZ.com.
Robyn,
That's a damn good question.
I've arrived at the conclusion that this is 'manufactured' news. The ... forgive me ... Plantation Negros ... are rewarded with National TV coverage whenever they take a position or stance comforting to the MSM.
Negros blaming the ills of the black community on "Hip Hop" is a propaganda strategy very pleasing to those who wish to keep black people marginalized, distracted and irrelevant by spending their energy on cliched non-issues and attacking each other.
There are more black people in prison today, than survived the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade, and supposedly educated black people think the word "NIGGA" is a problem.
Am I the only one that doesn't think Beyonce is a ho? To me, I LOVE the way she doesn't screw all of Hollywood.

Beyonce is one of the best that ever done it Big J.
Every time I see her, I am more impressed.
Agreed!
