first off, I'm not a racist.
everybody is exaggerating this more than they should. i know the guy has a few tiffs with certain people like howard stern and a few politicians, who doesn't? it's good entertainment to watch his show sometimes in the morning because he provides a good argument on a certain thing.
other than his "fights" with the above mentioned, his show wasn't all that big of a deal. he'd give his opinion, open the call lines, listeners would agree or disagree, end of show. he's not a bad guy, he has his charity organizations with the imus ranch and raises a good bit of money every year and whatnot. he hasn't had a run-in with this sort of thing (recent comments) in the past.
after saying this, people want him practically crucified. he goes on sharpton's radio show and acts like a human being who admits to making a mistake and sharpton unloads on him. the guy apologizes as much as a human can. he made one comment, he didn't kill an african american, didn't start up the KKK again. it was a bad thing to do, no doubt, but the man apologized. nothing much you can do.
what bothers me the most is that rappers and so forth have been doing this since as far back as i can remember and all people do is stomp (or steamroll) that particular artists records. one old white guy makes one comment and people think he's a typical bigot.
but, like i first mentioned, the press are blowing the hell out of this story. by the end of the year, nobody will remember this.

no, calling a college womens basketball team "a bunch of nappy headed ho's" that "look like the Toronto Raptors" isnt right. he's a radio journalist, not a gangsta rapper/ entertainer, that kind of talk makes all the hillbillies in his audience think its alright to say these kinds of things.
Theyre saying its ok since Snoopdogg says things like that, but heres what snoop has to say:
"It's a completely different scenario. are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about hos that's in the 'hood that ain't doing (bleep), that's trying to get a (bleep) for his money. These are two separate things."
"First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them (bleepers) say we in the same league as him."

First off I'm not racist, and I strongly dissagree with the decision to fire Imus due the fact that he comments on every walk of life.
Black people hold themselves to a double standard (as well as many other groups and subcultures in our country). It pisses me off that black people wish to be viewed one way by blacks and another by whites. Why is it ok for black males to refer to black females as "bitch hoes" but as soon as a white man refers to a black female as a "ho", all of a sudden it is unacceptable and racially intollerable? The blacks can do it but the whites can't....sounds like racial prejudice towards white people if you ask me(not really but you get the point). Why is it ok for there to be millions and millions of rap albums sold with the N word, phases talking about 'bitch n#$$&!" "bitch hoes", violence and the "thug" life style. Is black America publicizing the way they want to be viewed? If we "had" to fire Imus, we should also cancel BET, because what kind of positive light does BET put black America in? If black people find certain slangs and slurs offensive when whites say it, they should quit saying it themselves. White America doesn't go around calling themselves crackers. The jewish population doesn't do around calling each other kikes. Mexican americans don't greet each other with a freindly, "hows it going bean breath". Even rednecks don't even call each other rednecks!!!! Why does black America publicize a word it is so strongly against?
Al Sharpton = Piece of Shit. It frustrates the hell out of me to see someone who is so anti semitic, and so extremely verbal about it, to not be held accountable for his words and then he goes out and makes a big deal over something like this. Al Sharpton, if you want white America to not say these things about "your people", tell "your people" to stop saying these things about themselves. Black America degrades itself far far worse than any comment or group from white America can or does.

well im not from alabama, i from jersey, like it fucking matters, and i think this is a crock of shit.
bottom line-he said nothing racist...he said, in slang, that one group of black women looked good and presentable and the others looked unkept. thats all.
and i think the double standard thing was already said so i wont harp on it, but that is sooo true.
i could go on for awhile but thats another issue with hypocritcal blacks...but this issue is done.

Way to lash out like a typical racist/toothless clucker from Alabama. It was a simple realization, was it not? And anyways, I agreed with 99% of what you had to say. I just feel him being fired was justified.DumpsterDave wrote:Nate wrote:Let me add that everyone here who doesn't think Imus should be fired, are from Alabama.

ya nate, wtf?
we're talking about a racist group of people as a whole. Dave had nothing but positive things to say... talking about ending racist remarks from blacks and whites, and then youuuuuuu stereotype us? just because of where we live? I can assure you that whether I live in Alabama, California, Ohio, or wherever the fuck else, my opinion will stay the same...
where you live doesn't make who you are...

I made no stereotype other than the toothless comment which was obviously a joke.
I made a realization. Please refer to what I said earlier.
Now, don't you have some abandoning to do?

Nate, wtf? For someone who is basically saying that you shouldn't support a bigot, you are being one yourself, just in a different way. I honestly thing that the 2 week suspension was more than enough for the actions, however I just didn't like Imus to begin with, therefore I am ok that he got fired.

Nate, Nate, Nate.....If you agreed you should have said that, but instead you alluded to the fact that alabamians are racially insensitive which stemmed the firm language. And the "racist/toothless clucker" digs your holed deeper.
Is it ok to assume that somebody is racist because of where they live?
