taken outspoken stands in favor of civil rights for minorities but sometimes takes a

Rip” on Sunday at 6:30 p.m.
The subject of the show is racial relations in America
and they will discuss Murray’s Monday column for The Macomb Daily in
which he questioned the harsh public and corporate reaction to celebrity chef
Paula Deen’s use of the “n-word.”

Also scheduled to appear on the provocative “Let It
Rip” panel is Darrel Dawsey from DeadlineDetroit.com, who argues that a recent
Rasmussen poll indicating that most Americans believe blacks are more racist
than whites is a farce.
