Face-Off -- Rev vs. Revved Up

436. Let differences create respect not conflict.

In a white dominated society, "whiteness" is what is seen as beautiful and good. We live a very color conscious society. I think the color of skin is something every person thinks about. It's not something we talked about.

We (black people) assumed other people of color are cool with us, just because they are people of color but sometimes they are prejudice against blacks too.

No women should be called a ho.

437. Ben_darkpikachu02: It doesn't matter if you have friends of color especially if you don't care about their feeling or have might hurt their race. I am sure their are some men out there who love little girl and boys. They like to have sex with them. Is it right. Hello no. I don't know you are man or women but if you are a man. You think it's ok to disrespect women. I don't think you are a man at all. You don't have to put others down to make yourself look or feel better. No women should be degrade, humiliated or disrespected. No women should be called a ho.

438. Terrence are you talking to yourself? You made so many posts. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Let people have a chance to response. Luda is rapper and like other rappers his songs are for entertain. Did you protest againist the records company for his tyrics? When they do play that song on the radio the words are change. 80% of people who purchased hip hop. rap and hard rap CDs are young white males. So twhite folks must love hearing the n-word, h-word, f-word and b-word. I think you are obsessed with Al and Jesse. It's not about them but Harvey disrespecting Ms. Beyonce by calling her a ho directly or indirectly.

no not talking to myself...just any body who'd listen...i don't like or even listen to that garbage...it dose not uplift or encorage....its that simple to me...and i'm sure others don't either...however i do say this...taht if you joke and play with people you put them at ease to say what they wouldn't usually say...then when they do say somthing untoward you would be insulted...this goes for every body...remember the english language is a white man's language blacks here in america don't have their own as others do...but here's another point...america has no official language either...and here we should be americans first and realize this whole blow up is really silly because we all in this country now have a shared culture...and right now that is the common ground..i've heard "o" negative sing songs like kill whity as well and they're a white band...so you see we seem to share a culture of self hate...

439. You might be right about a cultures of self-hate especially for African Americans. All I am saying is give people a change to responded to your posts. White America will never understand what it means to be black or a person of color. 67% of all hate crimes are against African Americans. What TMZ/Harvey did to Ms. Beyonce. I feel is a racial slur. They owe her an apology. Beyonce has always display a positive image of African American women. It a shame that some men not just white men feel it's OK to disrespects black women. Blacks and whites will probably never come together when one race (whites) feel superior to another (blacks).

440. The problem is that TMZ is suppose to be a reputable tabloid. Harvey waltz's all over making his guest appearances. Why say anthing about Beyonce, at all. If that is the case then Harvey and TMZ may want to explain their facination with White Blond Paris Hilton, who dresses slutish.

Beyonce Knowles dresses with class, she is a wholesome girl and TMZ wants to crush that.

What is the problem Harvey, are you running out of things to print.

Harvey thinks that TMZ is reputable, but the truth of the matter is TMZ is just what it is, a garbage rag. There is not even the remote truth to their blabbering.

Harvey you must be proud at what you achieved, you may have the bucks and Larry King's support, but you also have traded in modesty, honesty and integrity to make your money.

Not many people take TMZ seriously anymore. It is what it is trash that can be entertaining. For real news we tend to go elsewhere.

I would love to attack, Harvey's facelift and Collegen treatments.

Harvey how would you like people to start attacking your daughter, your sister, your mother, your neice, a female friend. Callilng them robo ho's, sluts, tarts, whore's.

I think that Harvey is a whoremaster for the type of news he reports. There is a bully in this equation and Harvey Levin and TMZ reporters are at the top of the mountain, when it comes to bullying people.

Good luck Harvey, for as much trash as you spin, will be as much as you get back.

441. Levin said he was calling the outfit a ho? Pleeeaaase!
When Michael Jackson made the song dealing with prejudice and went down the list of ethnic slur names that people are called, when he got to a jewish slur starting with the letter "K", they made him redo the whole song. Steven Spielberg who up to that time had been a freind of Michael's, said that he would never forgive MichaEL FOR TEACHING HIS SON THAT WORD.
Now who's oversensitive?

442. Al is nothing if not full of contradictions and double standards. He needs to pick his battles based on the actual good that they would do- instead of just fighting everyone about everything.

Here is Sharpton "drawing the line" so to speak.

443. The older I get, the less I care if people consider my comments "insensitive". Since when did it become so wrong to speak your mind-- regardless if someone takes offense to it. It's free speech, and yet idiots like the Rev. constantly attempt to make us feel guilty for saying what's on our mind.

Get a job, you lousy blood-sucking bum. Focus on real problems and real issues. Better yet, go the hell away.

444. There are plenty of real ho's out there who deserve the label. I'm not just talking females. Why use that word with Beyonce?

Posted at 10:48AM on Jul 20th 2007 by Bri

445. Directly or indirectly Harvey was still referring Beyonce to a ho. It's wrong.

Posted at 1:20PM on Jul 20th 2007 by Teesha

446. A Ho is slang for whore. That's what it is and it is derogatory. Somehow this term"ho" is destined to be morphed into a cool term for a woman-why???, who is doing this morphing- Don Imus? Women fighting outside a night club is skanky, they are skanks, a woman that is being mean or bitchy is a bitch, a cute woman walking down the street is a chute chick, a woman performing on stage at at dignified event is a positive thing, not a negative thing so the label Robo-Ho is not appropriate.

447. The costume was ugly. Would the term Robotic Hoochie Wear satisfy the Rev?

448. 449. I find it interesting that the black community takes EVERYTHING that is said by the "white" community as an attack/degrading/racist especially when the "words" that are used by "white" people as the "attack" are soo loosely used by black musicians/rappers with no problem. It's funny, have you ever seen a white person whinning over what a black person called them? NO!!! If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, duh, it's a duck.

This is to anyone that doesn't like the way people judgethink of you. If you don't like it, maybe you should change the way you carry yourself.

Well said debbie

Harvey, keep up the good work

..or it could be a platapuss....but every thing from the dominat culture would be racist...and is...everything..reason why...the dominant culture sets the tempo..yeah harvy...you can go alright...
