Rev. Al Explains ‘N’ Word Charge Against Mottola

Rev. Al Sharpton was on Fox News on Monday night talking about the Michael Jackson controversy against Sony music chief Tommy Mottola. When asked about Jacko’s racist charges against Mottola, Sharpton said, “[Jackson] said that some people had come to him and said that Mr. Mottola had used the ‘n’ word. This we’ve invited them to come to the summit.” As for whether Sharpton himself believed the charges, he said, “We have to look at those that made the accusations. He knows the artists, he believes them. They’re fellow artists at Sony. You can’t tell Michael Jackson he doesn’t have the right to believe people he knows. We will have to make those determinations at the summit tomorrow. It’s fair for him to repeat what he believes.”
