That is BS....

Actually, this line is...

Vaughn's attorney, Richard Ancowitz, said: "The full effect of the damage remains to be seen."

"This is about Kia Vaughn's good name," Ancowitz said. "She would do anything to return to her life as a student and respected basketball player — a more simple life before Imus opened his mouth on April 4."

No, its about todays white guilt laden politically correct culture, and how you can make a profit from it.

MLK would be proud.....

Aside from that, I can't believe people are giving that man so much power with his words. Wow, what an ego boost for him...

Give me a break....live life as a good human being to 'keep your good name', and don't fall victim to such BS. Oh, unless you are out to make a quick buck...

It is unfortunate that those women had to 'deal' with that, I do feel for that. However, IMO, this is over the top.

Careful Kelli. Talk like that could get you called a Racist.

Well, obviously, I'm not speaking of racial issues, but more of broader terms. These opportunities that people seek out for $$$, happens way too often....no matter what race. People have lawyers on speed dial.

No, Kelli. This entire case is built on race. The whole thing. Some can say something, someone else can't based on skin color.

She shoudl really sue her mother for naming her after a piece of shit cheap ass car....

I can see why she is mad.

She's not nappy headed at all...

She does not appear to be a garden tool either.

Seriously though:

I am interested to see if Sharpton plays a role in this case.

He has himself been found guilty of defamation of character in the Tawana Brawley controversy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpton#_note-26

Sharpton, Maddox and Mason accused the Dutchess County prosecutor, Steven Pagones, of racism and of being one of the perpetrators of the alleged abduction and rape. The three were successfully sued for slander and ordered to pay $345,000 in damages, the jury finding Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two and Mason for one.

I can't find if he ever paid up, but it looks like SHE never did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawana_Brawley

Pagones had also sued Brawley. She defaulted by not appearing at the trial, and the judge ordered her to pay him damages of $185,000. As of 2003, none of the award had been paid.

Other notable quotes from the man:

“White folks was in caves while we was building empires ... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

Maybe someone who is gay should sue Mr. Sharpton.

The Post quoted an unnamed source, whom it described as a "prominent black Democratic activist who knows Sharpton," as saying, "[Sharpton is] saying that Obama never did anything for the community, never worked with anybody from the community, that nobody knows the people around him, that he's a candidate driven by white leadership."

"If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house"

"We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."

"As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation."

Double Standards...
