That's the same one. He's also a regular on O&A. In fact, he's actually my favorite regular guest on that show.Quote:

What an idiotic statement. When did the majority of white people treat minorities equally in the states?Quote:

Last time I checked, there are middle and upper class black citizens, and they deal with more crap than you will ever know. They work hard everyday without complaints. It seems like they should complain more, but then you'll have people like you saying they're using the racism card. Get a clue people. The system is flawed. The fact is that white america created this mess. Now lets move on, and try to make some changes. Is that possible?
so, what you are saying is, there is no such thing as a double standard, right? ok then, when are jackson and sharpton going to PUBLICLY apologize for what happened to the duke lacrosse team? seeing as to how they spearheaded that witchhunt, shouldn't they hold a press conference to address their misgivings?Quote:

I put in my two cents here before, but they apparently fell behind the seat cushions. amid all the well spoken but misdirected outrage.
Imus was censured, not censored. Censure is a process by which a formal reprimand is issued to an individual by an authoritative body. Censorship is the removal or withholding of information from the public by a controlling group or body.
Imus is still free to speak as he wishes. He just doesn't get paid a handsome salary to do so over the public airways.
Censorship" is often used as a pejorative term to signify a belief that a group controlling certain information is using this control improperly or for its own benefit, or preventing others from accessing information that should be made readily accessible. What Imus said wasn't information. It was opinion in the form of a joke and a not very well reasoned or funny one at that.
Comparing a radio host to a rapper is a false comparison, like saying an Ipod is the same as an old transistor radio. It completely ignores that you get to pick what you put on an Ipod. Its private, whereas what comes out of a radio is broadcast. You own your Ipod, the public owns the radio frequencies. Imus is free to put out a CD or do a podcast if he thinks there is demand for his schtick. I don't see any gold records in his immediate future though.

the same as most other americans...Quote:
