On Imus's show everyone is a target, his name calling is certainly not limited to any age, race or gender. For lack of better term he is equal opportunity for rants, snide comments. Anyone in the public forum is a target for Imus and his cohorts. I saw that he will be suspended. But to say only white people make these type of dumb remarks, lets not forget Tim Hardaway, Tyrell Owens, Isaih Washington, all have said and will continue to say things that are offensive.
Uhh...dont you see the illogic of your statement?????????
If there are consequences to what he says, then ergo, he cant say whatever he wants now can he??
He shouldnt have to censor himself, thats the whole point of the 1st Amendment. In case youve all forgotten:
Freedom of the press (or press freedom) is the guarantee by a government of free public press for its citizens and their associations, extended to members of news gathering organizations, and their published reporting. It also extends to news gathering, and processes involved in obtaining information for public distribution.
In the U.S. this right is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution
AS WELL AS
Freedom of speech is the concept of the inherent human right to voice one's opinion publicly WITHUT FEAR OF CENSORSHIP OR PUNISHMENT. The right is preserved in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is granted formal recognition by the laws of most nations.
Do you get it now???
Have you listened to rap lyrics, and heard how they describe women?
Is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson advocating boycotting their cd's and concerts?
NO.
What he said was fucked up, but there is a double standard.
btw, i'm not a republican.
double standard or not...calling college basketball players "nappy headed hos" is wrong. I guess some of you wouldn't mind him call them "niggers" next. It's freedom of speech though...hmmm...Quote:

For what it's worth, here's my assessment of this drama's current main players:
1) Don Imus: a complete tool.
2) Jesse jackson: another complete tool.
3) Al Sharpton: yet another complete tool.
That about sums it up.

PC retards the progress that has been made under the radar. I don't see color, I see a face, I see eyes. I hear what they say! I judge them based on this.
My daughter, has had no racial bias in her upbringing. EVER! Yet the media and the so called spokesmen of the black race are keeping in the forefront. Things like Imus said would be unnoticed if flame wasn't applied to the fire. I could go into Black comedians doing the same thing, but that isn't the point. I don't think they should be censored nor should Imus.
What they say should be evaluated by each individual and each individual should act according to their beliefs. Stop letting a bunch of talking heads decide how you think. It's seems every statement anyone makes is disected and .......
Oh fuck it. The blacks have self centered retards and the whites have self centered retards and our fucking beloved media keeps keeping them in the forefront!
Imus who? I mean who really listens to these dregs of radio society... Shock jocks have to be the lowest form of intelligent life by making their pay, humiliating, degrading, and otherwise filling space on the radio dial with sophomoric repetative drivel. Why should anyone be appalled that this guy made a comment like that...he's not being payed for his intellect to elevate prose to anything more than sub-sapien poo flinging. He's a wart on a fly's ass.
Cogently well put. Unfortunately, there are those out there who follow their divisive and hateful slop as gospel. Yes, there are some Americans that are that fuckin' naive, ignorant, gullible, and stupid.Quote:
