Please be clear that I'm not talking about censorship, but public *censure*. Calling people on unacceptably racist talk, every time, is what I'm talking about.
I realize that it can be hard to draw the line, but I think that's where you leave it up to folks to go with their conscious, whether they think, like the commenter below, that Mencia and his ilk need to go as well as the Imus-types, or whether you're OK with people who make racially-charged jokes that make fun of stereotypes while you will not support comedians, artists, and so on who make blatantly racist jokes or comments.
