my opinion Evan is that had the incident happened on just an ordinary night the media frenzy would have been considerably less. But I think because it was Grammy night and they were both to perform....well.....

I think the media picks the most effective poison that will cause the most damage to the black man, every chance they get. They (the black man) does not seem to care much about it however, since they always seem to be skinning for the same people who are trying to make them look like clowns...a la flava flav.

The media also believes very strongly that one black man's downfall, embarrasses and humbles a majority of black people...although their view is not the same for black women.
