NBC PLAYS THE RACE CARD???
By L.T. Dinwiddie
Am I the only one who finds it interesting that the people behind NBC’s reality show, America's Got Talent, fired panelist Brandy Norwood over her current vehicular manslaughter issues. Yet they have allowed David Hasselhoff to remain a judge after his shocking video was leaked of him being video taped by his 16-year-old daughter in a disturbing drunken state?
According to various media outlets, not only will David continue his stint on the program, but executive producer, Simon Cowell, is said to be standing behind David "100%" as he seeks treatment for his “disease”.
I hate to be the one to throw the race card (though its apparent NBC did), but how does America viewing Hasselhoff lying on the floor hammered beyond belief fit into the show’s conservative fun atmosphere? This is very reminiscent of the Ludacris/Osborune/Pepsi controversy from a few years ago.
It’s examples like these that blatantly show the consistent racial imbalance of our society.

Umm...yeah that vid is disturbing but for goodness sake he was not driving or hurting anyone but himself. Granted it was an accident but Brandy KILLED someone. As in, that other person is no longer living. Somehow I don't think this situation compares with the Luda/Osbourne/Pepsi thing. That was definitely race-related.
Brandy is responsible for the death of someone. The Hoff was drunk in his own home. The two situations are very different.
Brandy killed a person and then played the race card to get away with it. David didnt do anything near as bad as Brandy. Another thing is how can you compare the two incidents unless you want to get Brandy back on TV like what she did was nothing cause the lady she killed was nothing. Brandy is one of ther reasons race relations in America are so bad because she plays the race card everytime she gets in trouble.
is that in-n-out burger?
