On Imus' idiotic remarks; time was when people would shrug off racist remarks as the sign of a small man, but respond with violence to the suggestion that a young lady they cared for (e.g. girlfriend, wife, daughter, sister) was immoral. Why are their fathers and brothers allowing clowns like Sharpton to do the talking?
(sadly, maybe because too many of them aren't in the picture, and too many of those that are are listening to this kind of degradation in rap music?)
And here's an interesting article that compares "the way Starbucks used to be" versus today, and draws conclusions about how a synagogue ought to appear to its visitors. I dare suggest that there are some implications for our churches.

Hello!
Greetings to you too, Gabrielle.
And well said, Jane. (if you don't get your own weblog up soon, I might have to make it into a post--with you credited, of course)
I find it incredible that Sharpton and Jackson haven't expressed the same outrage at rappers about their images of hookers, drugs, senseless violence, and easy money being portrayed intentionally.
In a morning radio show that I listen to, one of the hosts is a black fella and he expressed the same outrage @ Imus but when the topic of rappers are brought up, he does listen to them but doesn't buy them.
So the message is you can criticize others but don't you dare do it to me.
