He served that role while he was Supreme Basileus of the Blacks from 1984-1988.

They should get on his ass for being a hypocrite, since Jackson has excoriated rappers and athletes for propagating use of the 'n-word' - which would at least be moderately justified. That's not really what is happening, though.

I agree with the second paragraph. I still think it's a little over the top, though (for other reasons -- I won't open up that can of worms).

actually K Sig is right on point...the same man (along with the NAACP) said that the N word should be buried and admonished entertainers for its use should not be walking around resurrecting the word.
