According to the NY Daily News, Al Sharpton is beefing up his security after receiving threats from Imus fans:
"We have received several threats that we consider serious," he said. "I have been stabbed once, so we don't take anything too lightly."
Beefing up security is pretty popular these days. After G-Unit member Tony Yayo allegedly beat up a fifteen year old boy for wearing a rival rapper's gear, 50 Cent increased his security force because the fifteen year old's father was a guy nicknamed Henchmen.
Better think twice about getting a senior citizen fired!
What really concerns me about Al isn't the security issue. What worries me is if Imus and Sharpton continue to follow this feud, Al will end up like Fiddy: Having a woman drop a rumor of how bad he is in bed. That would not only ruin Al's reputation, it would have James Brown rolling in his grave. After all, in life, James wanted people to believe Al was his son. In death, we shouldn't besmirch his memory by making that son be anything...and I mean ANYTHING but a guy who gets on the scene like a sex machine. Get on up indeed...

Imus Be Mistaken
Don Imus did the impossible.
He made Condi Rice get in touch with her roots and it didn't take shame from going on a shopping spree:
"I just thought that it was an attack on women's sports, first of all, and secondly an attack on very accomplished young black women in a way that was really offensive"
The message is simple: Say what you will about the war, the president or unemployment, but don't be callin' nobody no nappy headed hos!

Of all the things to talk about, why do you think Condi choose Imus? When can we expect to hear from her next? Holla back!

Power of the Perm
Is it just me or have you noticed that the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team members all got fresh perms after Imus' Nappy Headed Hos comment?
Newsday had a piece on the significance of the term, so did CNN, but they say nothing about the connection between their perms and Al Sharpton's touch up.
After all, he was the first one to defend them AFTER they got the perms. Would the brotha have helped them out if they remained true to their (for lack of a better term) roots?
Sharpton claimed to cop the 'do when he worked with James Brown (R.I.P.)
Every day, Sharpton delivers on a promise he made to Brown a couple of decades ago when he asked the civil rights activist "to straighten your hair like mine so when people see you they think you're my son."Brown often called Sharpton, urging: "I want you to keep it that way until I die." Sharpton said he will never give up the look. "That's my bond with James Brown." This is perm love!
However, Sharpton was nowhere to be found when James' hair went through a rough spell:
That, my friends is a damn shame, and a goddamn nappy mess!
