The Reverend Al Sharpton and our very own Harvey Levin went head-to-head over RobohoGate.
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. TMZ respectfully disagreed.
Listen to both arguments -- and vote!

7. Guess what. You can't CHANGE people's opinion's - even in a court of law. That's exactly what descriptive words are. OPINIONS. I'm with Harvey, if you don't like TMZ - STAY OFF OF IT - that goes for anyone else that is "offended".

10. I like your statement today much better than yesterday. I don't want to live in a sterile environment either. It's a slippery slope when you start burying words. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Paul Harvey ! Free speech !

11. If Harvey Levin was black Al Sharpton wouldn't care less. The only reason he cares is because Levin is white. SHUTUP Sharpton. Your really stretching it on this one

12. Sounds like the reverend is insinuating that ho's can only refer to black women? Is that his argument? Strange

14. Where is old Al when people are calling white girls the Ho name? Double standard Al. If it walks like aHo and talks like a Ho then maybe it is a Ho

15. Rev. Sharpton is not part of the solution. He is however, most of the problem!
