Rev Al Doesn’t Agree With Jacko’s Racist Charges

The New York Post reports the Rev. Al Sharpton is backing off his support for Michael Jackson, at least the aspect that has him labeling Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola as a racist. Sharpton said he was “taken aback and surprised” by the verbal assault adding, “In fact, [Mottola's] always been supportive of the black music industry. He was the first record executive to step up and offer to help us with respect to corporate accountability, when it comes to black music issues.”
