And I hope the liberal outcry of this is louder:

LOS ANGELES -- Black leaders on Monday challenged the entertainment industry,
including rappers, to stop use of the racial slur that Michael Richards uttered in
his tirade. The Rev. Jesse Jackson and others said they will meet with TV networks,
film companies and musicians to discuss the "n-word." "We want to give our ancestors
a present," Jackson said. "Dignity over degradation." Asked about free-speech issues,
Jackson said the word is "unprotected."
