Janet Jackson to be honoured as African-American role model

Janet Jackson is to be honoured by 100 Black Men as an African-American role model, less than a year after her Super Bowl performance controversy.

Don't know what the FCC will make of this, but America's 100 Black Men association, which aims to improve the quality of life for African Americans and other minorities, will this week honour Janet Jackson as an African-American role model, less than a year after her somewhat controversial (well, controversial in Middle America) performance at the Superbowl. Commenting on the decision to make the award to Jackson, 100 Black Men president Paul Williams told the New York Daily News, "An individual's worth can't be judged by a single moment in that person's life, I hope we don't have any surprises!"
