It Just. Keeps. Getting. Better.

It's high time and I'm thrilled as ever to see that the old time double standard BS is coming to an end. I give many kuddos and applause and my support to those in the black/African American Community who have finally stood up to said that use of racial slurs by ANYONE is unacceptable. GOOD FOR THEM!!!

So I find myself, once again, rallying around Al Sharpton. Here are excerpts from the article. You're welcome to read the entire thing if you'd like.

Griffin Gets the Hook for Using N-Word

MIAMI (Sept. 6) - A standup routine by black comedian Eddie Griffin was stopped after he repeatedly used the N-word, a magazine's spokesman said Wednesday.

Griffin, who has appeared in movies such as "Undercover Brother" and "Date Movie" and the TV show "Malcolm & Eddie," was performing at a Black Enterprise magazine event in the Miami suburb of Doral on Friday when he was cut off after using profanities and the N-word, said Andrew Wadium, a spokesman for the publication. "We believe that ending the performance was the appropriate action," Wadium said.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who attended a meeting held by the magazine in Miami but not the performance, said the crowd gave an ovation to Earl Graves, the magazine's publisher, when he came on stage after the 39-year-old Griffin was pulled, according to a statement on the Web site of Sharpton's National Action Network. The statement said Sharpton "expressed gratitude that the nation's pre-eminent magazine for African-Americans stands behind the efforts of National Action Network in getting rid of the N-word."
