His job is to say offensive content to provoke people. But if you are offended and do not like his content do not listen. If it bothers you so much go to his sponsors, this is the American way and we have that right.
But what I find amazing is, his comment has the possibility of being construed as an accidental joke gone totally wrong, his history speaks for himself. While other celebs who say stuff, in heat of anger, while drunk go to rehab and can get away with it (because the joke does not offend Sharpton). A perfect example is Mel Gibson (who I will now never buy or in any way support any of his projects or anything he is in).
Either way his comment can be offensive, your choice if you care about what that person says or not, and what you do or do not want to do. And I am not against the protests I just find it funny how we pick and choose about which racial issues are bigger then others.
