real heads want to know how he gets that feathered sideburns look?
fuck him. move along....
Imus talks of "nappy headed hos" and gets a suspension.
They need to ignore Imus and go after his sponsors, take him down from the foundation.
Who fucking pays any attention to what that cadaver has to say anyway? The media whores are lending him all the credibility in the world, and he acts as though his job is somehow God-given and protected by the constitution. He would just clean up when some other network saw $$$. It is the mystery of WHY he is so highly regarded in broadcasting that fascinates me. He is terrible at what he does and completely unintelligible. I am surprised anyone could understand his racist gaffe to begin with.
The world is shaved by a drunken barber. It's the only way to explain Don Imus and Jessie Jackson on my TV at the same fucking time. Oh, that and Larry Birkhead being a household name. WTF????!!!
this gem will replace my usual juvenile and oh-so-boring 'humans suck'
Who pays attention to what CBA coaches say?
Apparently, in both cases, someone.
Same with Howard. I found him making fun of black people, tasteless.
This is one of the most stomach-turning aspects of our culture--that people accept without question that it's a good and natural idea for the Rutgers team to now meet with Imus.
Why?
His statements were not those of a white person who is literally "ignorant"--who has never had any contact with any actual Black people and who only needs to meet a few in order to see the light.
They were the statements of a racist old man. He made the mistake of sharing the contents of his mindgarden with the world. That's it.
He should be condemned, anyone that continues to sponsor him or give him a platform should be condemned, and we should all move along. No second chances. None of this "healing" bullschitt. And there is certainly no reason to subject these young women to his presence.
"Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) called the comments "divisive, hurtful and offensive to Americans of all backgrounds," but it was unclear whether he would appear on the show again if asked."
Well, isn't the percentage of the American population that is Black slightly higher than ten percent?
So, at best, all he's established is that his foundation might not be actively discriminating against cancer-stricken Black kids.
Thanks, Don!
Anyone got an opinion on 50's "Je-Je-Je-Jew unit" comment?
I was just about to mention this. I can't stand when people pull that "but, I can't be racist ... look at all the wonderful work I'm doing" card. He made a racist comment because he's an old racist prick who can't hold his tongue ... period. No amount of charity done in his name will erase that.
[And, yes, the fact that his Ranch serves a disporportionally high percentage of white patients is icing on this particular cake for sure.]
Are you part of the goon squad?
I also loved how he pointed to the fact that he has spent time around some of these kids.
"I do not find Black people threatening! I swear! Why, just yesterday I was in the same room as this cancer-stricken Black kid on life support, and I was able to retain control of my bladder!"
co-sign. this is just optics and will change nothing. as if he will suddenly see the light or the insult will cut a little less after handshakes (shudder) and forced smiles.
doesn't something like this happen at least once a year? a public figure makes a racist remark, everyone condemns it verbally, but takes no real action and then it's business as usual?
Howard Stern not HAZ
Exactly.
These women have had their moment in the sun dimmed, not so much by his racist, nasty remark, but by a media and it's players that can't get enough of itself. The idea that reasonable adult women can't find closure without a press conference and some kind of hoky 'absolution' meeting with their 'attacker' is just as insulting as the initial remarks that prompted this circus. And I firmly believe that it is now the media driving this bus, not the actual people offended by the idiodic old fart.
I agree completely.
hahaha! ok. good point.
actual headlines right this minute on CNN.com:
"Black women who use 'ho' say Imus can't"[/b]
"Police: ATM thief's fake leg falls off during getaway"[/b]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
rap music. corrupting the culture of america since '79.
True. I admit that I am only familiar with the guy, but if he's anything like one of my elderly relatives who likes to blurt out ignorant, bizarre, graphic, off-the-wall shit just to ensure that people within earshot are aware of his presence in the room, then this guy doesn't even deserve the attention from everyone's white/black issue chest-beating.
Just to be clear -
I think it is still okay to make fun of female basketball players,
as long as the descriptors are about size, style or mannerisms,
and not race, sort of like it's still okay to make fun of Eastern
European female swim teams every time the Olympics comes around.
It is still okay to call a ho a "ho", but you better be ready for
the repercussions anyway - from that individual and her friends
and cohorts. If the ho really is a ho, then the nation will
sit to the side and snicker, as opposed to condemning the name-caller.
It is not okay to call someone a "ho" who has done nothing to
show ho-like behavior. Calling an innocent person a "ho" says
nothing about the target, and a whole lot about the name-caller.
It is not okay for white people to ever use the phrase "nappy-headed"
in comments to or about black people. While not as bad as THE "n" word,
it's still derogatory and should only be used intra-racially.
LOL. I love me some chest passes and two-hand set shots!
