...racist since National Geographic had no qualms in past about showing black native women bare breasted, as they normally were in whatever country they were reporting on. Honestly though, were they supposed to run up and put shirts on them all so they could take a picture worthy of publication? Native black women in their own country's environment versus Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's stunt here in America. Is there really a connection that pushes someone's "non_PC" buttons too much?

PS - I don't recall CNet having had any input either pro or con regarding his comment nor having any other effect on him either.
