I don't quite understand when people say there is no outrage. That statement dismisses all the work that black feminist writers, activists, psychologists, and countless others have been doing for years regarding this issue. But in regards to them (Jesse, Al, hip hop artists, and whoever else is angry), yes, I think Black men should be held accountable for the use of this kind of language. However, this is the first time I've seen a White man being held accountable for it. Normally I only see Black men being called out for misogyny.
