This paragraph sums it up in a nutshell. It is a sexist comment. Imus fucked up. These young girls did not deserve this characterization. They're 18 to 22. Imagine your daughter characterized as a ho at the proudest moment of your daughter's achievement. THAT IS WHAT HE (IMUS) SHOULD BE CHASTISED FOR!

Fucking Jackson and Sharpton should also be chastised for turning this into a Race issue. If anyone deserves to be called 'nappy headed hos' it's those two. They'll jump on anything to get their face in the media. Same as all our shithead white politicians. They are hos, they see an openning and jump on it....to get their face on camera. They start a race war when there wasn't one.

Stop this idiotic black/white drivel. It's 'I'm gonna get my face on camera by jumping on the bandwagon'.

By the way Legend, I was confused for moment, your previous frog avatar had me thinking you were LG, thus I retracted my fag comment. Now I realize your the fucking idiot Legend and I retract my retraction....You faggot!

Send an email to Jackson and Sharpton maybe they'll come to your defense. Same as they stepped up when a 90 year old white woman was cold cocked by a verile black buck in her foyer in NYC a month ago. If you want to be a leader you have to be heard on all the issues not just the ones that advance your position.

Sorry JWBL to advance my opinions off your post.

I'm the idiot yet you got two different avatars and screennames confused ok whatever idiot,and tell me this simpleton how is this issue advancing their political position please do tell,i'm sure your buddy anus tried so hard to keep his position by agreeing to appear on sharpton's show he could have said no but he involved sharpton by his own actions.

why do you guys have to either question sharpton or jackson position,question if the "nappy headed hos" comment is offensive and try to compare other issues that are illrelevant to this matter it just goes to show you that behide it all everyone is a little racist.

Dammit ezed your a bigger idiot then i thought,so basically your backpeddling out of an apology like a coward and you make up some lame excuse like got our avatars confused yet you addressed me by name dude before you throw that idiot insult at someone make sure it doesn't apply to you.

ezed,

It's a racist comment AND a sexist comment, so don't just confine it to only the latter. And please don't compare what happened here with Imus and the case of some punk that attacked a 90 year old: Apples and oranges in other words.
Both Jackson and Sharpton would be fools not to condemn the cowardly act involving that 90 year old, and unless you can provide proof, I have heard nothing or read nothing of either Jackson or Sharpton condoning it. It is patently unfair to hold them responsible for the actions of some punk just because that punk was black, or for that matter comparing these two cases. Jackson, Sharpton, and other black and civil rights leaders, have taken it upon themselves to offer a voice to causes which oppress or set us back as a civilized society, but also for those who might not be heard if it weren't for the light that the name of a Jackson or Sharpton bring to it. Do you really believe that this story would be leading news programs right now around this country if Jackson or Sharpton had not been there making noise, and can you -- since no one here has of yet -- tell me of one notable white person who took the lead here in the case before Jackson and Sharpton got involved? That attack of that 90 year old, which was viewed and condemned by just about every newscast by virtue of it being shown to the horror of every TV around the country did not require a defense. It didn't require a Jackson-Sharpton narrative or support because we all found that punk's attack deplorable. That attack did not require a right or wrong debate because it did not carry racist undertones in its context, nor did it require interpretation or judgement. Imus's racial and sexists comments on the other hand might have been swept under the rug again as has been the case in the past had Jackson or Sharpton not intervene and brought it to the forefront. See the difference? One, the attack of the 90 year old, required no comment as anyone in their right mind would find that wrong; the other was an affront not too visible to most unless they are minorities and have been the history of being discriminated or oppressed. Again, appleas and oranges.
Your cynicism and transparent ignorance of what the Jacksons and Sharptons of the world is so obvious. So how would you have handled this if you were Jackson or Sharpton? Start a letter writing campaign? Please provide me with ONE powerful white name on the forefront of such issues? One.
Given the lumunaries they are they have to get in front of the camera in order to bring light to a controversial issue. Let me repeat that: THEY HAVE TO GET IN FRONT OF CAMERAS in order to bring light to an issue such as this one. Do you really believe that if one of the Rutgers players had called a press conference on her own without the notoriety of a Jackson or Sharpton in the background that anything would have resulted from it? I doubt it. You also act as if this is some walk in the park for Jackson and Sharpton. I've been watching coverage of this story all day and they are grilled for their baggage or perceived hypocrisy also, so don't tell me that they do this this for their own enjoyment or that it's without risk.

Because the whites have been historically linked to power or privilege in this country. I can't help you if you can't see how that works.



Kramer,
After reading your drivel, I have come to a conclusion: You're a friggin' paranoid bigot. Tonight on Keith Olberman, Jackson brought up that there are no blacks or Latinos between the 3:00 to midnight time slot. Care to comment on that from your closed homogenized detached world? God forbid they should allow one minority to crack that timeslot, huh? What's the world coming to, huh? So equality is something one should fear? Yes, I agree that losing his job over this is a bit drastic, but you and I have totally different reasons for our stance.

... Were you a former plantation owner in a previous life by chance?

What kind of speaking out are you talking about? Maybe I'm reading into this wrong. It just makes you sound like you support one of these ignorant white males talking about white power.

Kabuki,

How did I confirm your point?...Speak out as much as you like, but when a white male gets in front of a crowd spitting out racist remarks...of course that's wrong...explain your logic here. Maybe I missed something again. I never said that you were a racist. I just don't think you're clear with whatever point you wanted to make.

Too bad his comments about kikes, crackers and homos were not as widely reported, opinions might be different.

If said it before and I will say it again......all these people on radio and TV that act this way are WHITE.

Yeah, no black people use the terms "ho" or "nigger" or anything like that, right? It hasn't been heard in 500 million rap songs or anything. There aren't any racists of black or other ethnic backgrounds either, right? Only whites. Please. Imus is a moron who says tremendously stupid things in an effort to boost his sad ratings, but he's no different a scumbag than Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, with their "hymie town" and "white interloper" comments, the Tawana Brawley disgrace, and numerous other offenses they've made in an effort to profit from racism. Funny how that gets glossed over as they demand everybody else be fired. :roll:

why do you guys have to either question sharpton or jackson position

"Hymie town"? "White interlopers"? Tawana Brawley? Laundering drug money? Accusing Sony of a racist conspiracy when Michael Jackson's album failed to sell because of his own questionable behavior? too many more to list? Let's pull our head out of the politically correct sand here. Imus sunk himself and is paying a heavy price, but Sharpton and Jackson, two guys who pull out the race card for their own profit whenever the chance presents itself, are the last two guys who should be calling for somebody's head when it comes to racist comments.
