over the weekend reverend al sharpton finally spoke up.. >> this kind of behavior is deplorable and must be condemned by all of us. [ applause ] if somebody was running around talking about knocking out blacks, we would not be silent. we cannot be silent if it's racism, by gotry, bias, assault, no matter who it is and where it is, we must denounce it. i want to start a campaign on our radio stations and some of our cable networks to really deal with this. because we must take this notion out of kids' minds that there is something hip and slick about that. >> while the main stream media has started to shine light on the vicious assaults that are growing by the day is this too little too late? here with reaction, eric rush, richard fowler. eric, i didn't sense the same speed, urgency and intensity as, for example, in the zimmerman/trayvon martin case. did you see the same reaction or different? >> it's definitely different. it took a little bit longer or quite a bit longer. but i think the urgency now has to do with the fact that it is being

. >> how about jesse jackson and reverend sharpton, why are they silent?rofit for them. not political advantage. they don't care because they live off of the victimization. therefore, as long as you have black communities that see themselves at victims, that helps perpetuate their existence. now all of a sudden, if you jump in -- why don't they say anything in chicago about the black on black crime? because they don't have a point in that. it doesn't elevate them. that's why these guys should be totally irrelevant, not be listened to whatsoever. >> what do you think, honestly overlooked or cowardly ignored? start with you on this one, bob. >> i don't agree with -- that this is their business, but i do say this -- i've said this before. this is where i will agree with west, that is, why they are not speaking out about this. i don't get. >> quick thought. i get worried. i think we keep playing this too much. i think people are getting an idea of getting an idea, they just go out and try this and do this. my thing is, i don't expect them to. to me, it's clear
