Face-Off -- Rev vs. Revved Up

46. Just for the record, there are 23 definitions of the word "ho" in the dictionary that the word can be slang for. One of those is the definition "habitual offender". Why is the Reverand going straight to the prostitute version? Oh yeah, his race invented the slang!

50. I think Al Sharpton needs to mind his own business, back off and look at himself. he's an egotistical reverse racist. He only deals with stuff that will get him publicity and he's not worth it. He has no place in putting his nose in something that has nothing to do with him.

51. First of all, I'm not someone who tries to see the racism in stuff and gets overly sensitive. All the white people on here(and white people POSING as black people to make their anti-AL points carry more weight) who are backing up TMZ are blind idiots who don't want to see the truth. You all are acting like TMZ had such a great response when it was nothing more than a decently written BULLs*** cover. You're just defending TMZ because you don't like feeling guilty and don't like hearing black people bring this kind of stuff up - BUT SUBTLE AND NOT_SO SUBTLE STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS ALL OVER THE PLACE SO THAT'S WHY PEOPLE COMPLAIN. I guess you let TMZ brainwash you with the little write up or maybe it just goes over your heads, but you're missing the point of why Al Sharpton is complaining. It's not about whether or not TMZ has referred to other people as "HO" - any idiot could have guessed that a site built on being nosy gossips and smart asses would have used that term with some others at times. The glaring thing is that the little ass of a writer took the opportunity to use it in reference to Beyonce - a black woman who hasn't done a damn thing to warrant it. If it had been Lil Kim, then fine, say "ho" all you want because it's part of her image. If you people don't think that the deciding factor in the butthole writer's using the term "roboho" was that she was black, you need to wake up. You say the outfit was terrible and deserved to be made fun of and that's fine, but I guarantee you if it had been Kylie, Hilary Duff, Avril, Gwen, or any other white artist that hasn't been shown to carry on in wild ways, the writer would not have thought to try and get cute and use the term "roboho". His thought was "I don't care that much for Beyonce, she's black, so I think I'll throw in a little sly, demeaning, stereotypical reference on her". I know it may be hard for some white people to see these things because they don't want to, but this really was more than likely racially motivated. Not saying the writer or site is racist, just that the usage of the term was a smart ass move and had much to do with Beyonce's skin color. Deal with it.

52. Al Sharpton (I refuse to call him "reverend," because he hardly conducts himself in such a way) is an idiot. An inarticulate, blowhard, windbag, idiot. Dude needs to time warp his fat self back to Jim Crow days so he can find something real to complain about.

53. This is all suck a joke. TMZ refers to all the little skanks in Hollywood as "ho's." SHUT UP Al, you're almost as bad as Rosie. Keep your nose where it belongs and quit making something out of nothing. It's no wonder people have a certain idea about blacks, people like Al perpetuate them. You can call me a racist all you want, but you know it's true. White people wouldn't even know or use certain terms if they weren't learned from so called "gangsta rappers" and black comedy. Get over yourself and find a real reason to bitch.

55. Mr. Sharpton,

Instead of wasting time on words, why not look deeper into the REAL issues with the black race. Have you paid attention to what's going on in New Orleans recently? They are doing way more then calling each other names. They are killing each other - several a day.

Stop wasting our time on these BS issues and get to the real issue - Brothers killing brothers. That's how we make a statement.

56. I'm a black woman and Al was really stretching it on this one....funny how TMZ has called white women derrogatory names before and he never said anything....he's obviously trying to start some kind of race drama.....

57. Does Al issue press releases to the African American rappers who refer to a woman as a bitch or ho?

58. Racism is alive and well because of Al Sharpton. Keep playing it to get in the public eye. That offends me so he should apologize to me.

59. Al Sharpton just has a dirty mind. Why else associate Ho with prostitute? There are lots of definitions for the word. Dirty dirty mind there Al.
