SHARPTON TAKES HAND OFF VERBAL GUN: Says Mike's assault on Tommy Motolla may have been unwarranted.
Al Sharpton & Michael Jackson
(Jul. 9, 2002) *Michael Jackson probably fancied himself to be the champion of the downtrodden artist when he gave a rapid fire diatribe on how evil Tommy Motolla and the business of music are, but the Rev. Al Sharpton, who stood beside him on this weekend has quickly back peddled from Jackson's labeling of the music exec as a racist.
What, y'all didn't see the "What the hell?!" look Rev. Al had on his face while standing in the background? He was so shocked his process damn near locked right on up on the spot.
"I have known Tommy for 15 or 20 years, and never once have I known him to say or do anything that would be considered racist," Sharpton said. "In fact, he's always been supportive of the black music industry," Sharpton said. "He was the first record executive to step up and offer to help us with respect to corporate accountability, when it comes to black music issues."
Daaaanng! Well, folks, the 21st century never ceases to amaze us while simultaneously beating us over the head with news events we never dreamed would come to pass. Stay tuned. We're sure there's more on this one coming down the pike.
