Howard Stern vs Jamie Foxx

A few weeks ago, Howard Stern made some offensive comments about 'Precious' Star Gabourey Sidibe and her weight. Well, Jamie Foxx responded on his own radio station Foxhole and made jokes about Howard Stern, his staggering career, and his co-host Robin's former weight problem. Howard then responded that Jamie needs to be quiet or he will tell some things about him that he wouldn't like. If everybody didn't know, these two radio broadcasts are both under SIRUS radio station.

The racism issue comes into play here on both sides. Both Jamie Foxx and Howard Stern both had racism undertones in both there comments. Howard Stern said some things about Gabourey that could be taken as racist, and Jamie Foxx call Robin Quivers a 'House Niggerish.' Why must people use race as a means to demean somebody's character. This is for both sides. We are in 2010 and times are changing and so should are minds. It is ok to agree to disagree, but why must things get so negative when it comes to disagreements.

There is an obvious difference of opinion here. Everybody knows that celebrity beef can either be harmful or helpful to people's careers. So is this beef legit or is this for ratings? How come people can't just agree to disagree and leave it alone? Do you think Jamie Foxx will back down from what he said because of Howard Stern's threats?
