Don Imus vs Rutgers
Don Imus vs Rutgers
Geez... a televised press meeting at Rutgers? Everyone calling for the head of Imus? Over three little words? I didn't hear the broadcast but from what I've gathered on the 'net everyone is up in arms over the words "nappy-headed ho's"? Seriously?! What the deuce?! I bet Howard is glad he's off the public airwaves and on Sirius. The public is retarded... oh crap, I'm going to get lynched for calling you all retards...
Who says there is freedom of speech in the US?
While it may have offended some, it is just the latest example of Political Correctness running amok in our society! The likes of Mr. Mfumi (sp?) and Rev. Sharpton say plenty of things that offend me, but in this day and age it's considered acceptable to offend "honkys"!

We aren't retards we are intellectually challenged, helmet wearing, short bus riding patrons. Get it right.
Everyone is too sensitive about stuff nowadays.
Was it dumb? Yep.
Was it worth rebuke? Sure if it upsets someone, let them rebuke him.
Is it worth this? Nope.
I saw some black folks interviewed on TV and they said "Look it was rude but it was a joke in poor taste, lets move on". Then some goof white liberal who has too much time on their hands said "Ohhhh no we can't just let it go".

Sure what he said wasn't smart and probably shouldn't be said. But let us also protect free speech.

We spend so much time in "witch hunts" for people who say politically incorrect comments, that we forget to preserve the rights of the individuals who made the comments.
Let us not swing the scales from one extreme to another.

Accepted street talk is one thing....
...but a white guy with microphone broadcasting coast to coast?
It's too funny.
I was willing to figure that Imus just forgot where he was until....
....he goes to apologize on Sharpton's radio program and he once again has a microphone in his face, broadcasting coast to coast....
...and he manages to work in a "...you people...".
I can't believe this is the same guy who gets his ratings by pointing out Bush's gaffes.
Actually, as a Far-Left, Secular Progressive, Pinko Liberal, I'm embarrassed.

Today must be National 'Tard Day... so Montel Williams show comes on, and this lady is all crying and shocked looking that her neighbor was video taping her naked in her bathroom for like 6 years. This nappy-headed cracka-ho used her bathroom WITH THE BLINDS OPEN... granted she was on the second floor and not facing the front or rear of her property... but wouldn't common sense say if you don't want anyone to see in close the blinds? I think this chick should be imprisoned next to the dude taping her. They both need to be locked up or shot.
Rev. Al and his lackeys at the NAACP just look for crap like this in order to stir up the "politcally correct pot" and to use it as just another failed attempt at blaming whitey for keeping them down.
Imus should've issued an apology (if he felt it was needed), and moved on. In no way was his appearance on Rev. Al's show needed. It looked to me like they were gonna lynch him, gansta style.
I'm reading a book called "Losing the Race: Self-sabotage in Black America". It talks in great detail how some in the black community are responsible for their own cultures "misfortune" if you wanna call it that. It's written by John McWhorter... and he's black!

And I don't think apologizing was Imus's idea.
I'm sure his keepers told him, "You WILL apologize when and where we say and you ARE suspended."
