Isiah's Getting '*****' Slapped

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>September 19, 2007 -- Knick honcho Isiah Thomas took it on the chin from the city's black community yesterday for saying it's OK for black men to call black women "bitch" and for allegedly using the word "ho."</p>

"These actions are typical of a spoiled person that doesn't have respect for women," said City Councilman Leroy Comrie. </p>

Rev. Al Sharpton said there could be no double-standard. </p>

"I am unequivocally against a person of any race, color or creed calling a person a 'n - - - - -,' 'bitch,' or 'ho,' and further, that no person regardless of his or her race, has the right to make misogynistic or sexist remarks against another person," he said. </p>

But the most stinging criticism came from black women. </p>

"He should be more responsible than that. Not everybody in the black community speaks and thinks like this," said Michelle Henry, a 31-year-old medical biller from The Bronx.</div></p>

Gotta love Al Sharpton... the media makes him out to be a buffoon, but he sure seems like a very smart gentleman to me. No double standards - if it wasn't good for Imus, it's not good for Thomas. </p>

But why all the focus on Thomas, tho, when there's lots of Brittney Spears in the news.</p>
