Yes... we are... had she said "beat" people still would have been **** and asking the same stinking questions. There are more pressing matters that the black community should be dealing with.

Who are you to determine what are the
more pressing matters for the black community...sounds like a matter of opinion
I can determine what's more pressing just like someone's opinion of what a racist comment is got someone suspended from their job.

Comments like those should never be overlooked. How about people should just keep their mouth shut and quit saying offensive things in public. You find more and more hidden racism coming out these days. White people are used to talking that stuff with their friends at private parties and it is slipping out. It isn't only the white people saying offensive things in public. Just recently Will Smith stated that ****, in his mind, probably thought that his reasoning for the Holocoust was right. Okay, many people might have taken what Will Smith said out of context but he shouldn't have said it. The way that the Jews were murdered during the Holocoust isn't justifiable. Yeah, people understood what Will was trying to say, but who asked him to speak out on world topics? He just need to stick to acting and keep his mouth shut because talking out against Jews is not going to help his career. For one thing, they own half of Hollywood. So it is not only white people saying offensive things in public. Whether it is white or black people making racial comments, none of them are acceptable.

You're right, there are
other pressing matters in the African-American community that we tend to overlook. But comments like those are being consistently used in a joking manner. Aren't we TIRED of being a flippin' minstrel show for everyone? If it's not lynch, it's the 'n' word, or better yet, '**** headed hos'. Overlooking it tends to turn out something like this.
Epiphany Prince: I don't know what he's talking about, I
comb my hair.
Forget the fact that he called her a ho. She's worrying about the ****-headed part. But I'ma let that one go. That clearly was a superficial thing right there. As far as what Ms. Tilghman said, there's
NOTHING funny about lynching and it should never be used in a joke. If we don't stop it here, then all we will be consistently seen as the world's comedians to step on and ignore. Or even worse, we will continue to lose our vibrant and informative culture. So yes, LET US be hypersensitive. He who ignores his history is DOOMED to watch it in a flippin' sitcom *cough:Amos 'n' Andy:cough*. Oooh, and don't even get me started on the 30 year misogynistic experiment we call Rap music.
