I don't think it's racist. There's a big difference in the way conservatives and liberals perceive the world. I think that conservatives have always shown great disdain for celebrity.

From the time that his death was announced, I noticed that Fox focused on nothing but his alleged drug use and the trials. They never mentioned how he was the first black whose music went mainstream. For Fox, there was a pretty strong assumption of guilt.

I know that the Brit who wrote a biography about Michael said that he went into the research convinced that Michael was guilty of pedophilia and finished convinced that he was innocent. I know that a jury of middle aged white people were convinced that he was innocent. But, Fox implies that he's guilty. There was nothing else to Michael Jackson as far as they were concerned.

As far as Al Sharpton goes, he's been a Civil Rights activist since he was a very young man. That's just how he sees the world. I do not understand why you feel compelled to hate the man. I have seen him in non hostile interviews. He's both funny and astute.

But, go on; watch Fox. USA! USA!
