but people make GROSSLY RACIST slurs here all the time, Please provide examples Win... And then ask yourself... "because some anonymous person might make a grossly racist slur on SI, is it apropriate for a noted celebrity and political activist in the black community to be permitted to do the same thing??

Could you provide links for your statement, Win? Don't believe you will find that true here on FADG.... And....you mentioned earlier that people were "stirred up" because of the Sullivan article....When you are out reviewing the posts, I think you will find that many here on FADG were WAY ahead of Sullivan in noting their displeasure at Belafonte's racist remarks regarding Colin Powell. Can you just imagine the firestorm of criticism that Senator Robert Byrd would find if he had said the exact same thing as Belafonte said about Powell? I can, and it would be deserved. Well deserved criticism!!!
