'Where's The Beef?'

NFL player, Ray Rice punches his girlfriend with his fist knocking her out; I observe NO OUTRAGE or sit-in demonstrations. The fact is African American women have the highest rate of abusive victimization (35 per 1000) of any racial group.


In 1987, a Los Angeles Dodgers' Vice President makes insensitive racists comments about Blacks suggesting that they did not have the 'necessities' to be 'IN' management positions. Al Campanis was washed out of baseball as the result. A few months later, television football analyst, Jimmy 'The Greek' Snyder is fired for racist's remarks about Black athletes.
The two aforementioned incidents were only hurtful words...a man hitting a woman in the face with his fist would seem far more painful.


Recently, the National Basketball League, under extreme pressure from African-American basketball players turning jerseys inside-out and angry voices around the nation forced 'Clippers' team owner, Donald Sterling to sell his team because of Sterling's racists comments.


On the heels of Ray Rice's abusive behavior, I ask, where the hell is Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton; where is the demonstrations and pressure to protect the vulnerable? As Clara Peller (1984-Wendy's television commercial) said, "WHERE'S THE BEEF?"


Another  spelling for disingenuous...'phony.'
