Fucking Hillbilly. I don't care that he made sexist or racist remarks. Its the fact that he was putting down a team from New Jersey! ahahha

[house1]

he has been around way to long anyway

[Shibby]

I just saw the video and I don't see why everyone was so focused on racism. Him saying nappy headed hoes and considering that racism brings me to the phrase "take offense when necessary, but don't look to get offended.

[blm]

That's just plain rediculous. It's all over the radio here. And the fkn interview w/Al Sharpton...somebody needs to kill that fkn piece of shit racist. It's alright for any blackman to call someone a ho or nappy headed, but as soon as an old white man says it, it's "abominable" and ''disgusting" and he's a racist and a bigot.

X2, I'm not gonna get all worked up over it but total bullshit if you ask me.

[meat12]

[INTIMID8OR]

COMMENTARY
Imus isn’t the real bad guy
Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture.
By JASON WHITLOCK - Columnist

Thank you, Don Imus. You’ve given us (black people) an excuse to avoid our real problem.

You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson another opportunity to pretend that the old fight, which is now the safe and lucrative fight, is still the most important fight in our push for true economic and social equality.

You’ve given Vivian Stringer and Rutgers the chance to hold a nationally televised recruiting celebration expertly disguised as a news conference to respond to your poor attempt at humor.

Thank you, Don Imus. You extended Black History Month to April, and we can once again wallow in victimhood, protest like it’s 1965 and delude ourselves into believing that fixing your hatred is more necessary than eradicating our self-hatred.

The bigots win again.

While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos.

I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas.

It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent.

Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves.

It’s embarrassing. Dave Chappelle was offered $50 million to make racially insensitive jokes about black and white people on TV. He was hailed as a genius. Black comedians routinely crack jokes about white and black people, and we all laugh out loud.

I’m no Don Imus apologist. He and his tiny companion Mike Lupica blasted me after I fell out with ESPN. Imus is a hack.

But, in my view, he didn’t do anything outside the norm for shock jocks and comedians. He also offered an apology. That should’ve been the end of this whole affair. Instead, it’s only the beginning. It’s an opportunity for Stringer, Jackson and Sharpton to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda$.

I watched the Rutgers news conference and was ashamed.

Martin Luther King Jr. spoke for eight minutes in 1963 at the March on Washington. At the time, black people could be lynched and denied fundamental rights with little thought. With the comments of a talk-show host most of her players had never heard of before last week serving as her excuse, Vivian Stringer rambled on for 30 minutes about the amazing season her team had.

Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that the comments of a man with virtually no connection to the sports world ruined Rutgers’ wonderful season. Had a broadcaster with credibility and a platform in the sports world uttered the words Imus did, I could understand a level of outrage.

But an hourlong press conference over a man who has already apologized, already been suspended and is already insignificant is just plain intellectually dishonest. This is opportunism. This is a distraction.

In the grand scheme, Don Imus is no threat to us in general and no threat to black women in particular. If his words are so powerful and so destructive and must be rebuked so forcefully, then what should we do about the idiot rappers on BET, MTV and every black-owned radio station in the country who use words much more powerful and much more destructive?

I don’t listen or watch Imus’ show regularly. Has he at any point glorified selling crack cocaine to black women? Has he celebrated black men shooting each other randomly? Has he suggested in any way that it’s cool to be a baby-daddy rather than a husband and a parent? Does he tell his listeners that they’re suckers for pursuing education and that they’re selling out their race if they do?

When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset. Until then, he is what he is — a washed-up shock jock who is very easy to ignore when you’re not looking to be made a victim.

No. We all know where the real battleground is. We know that the gangsta rappers and their followers in the athletic world have far bigger platforms to negatively define us than some old white man with a bad radio show. There’s no money and lots of danger in that battle, so Jesse and Al are going to sit it out.

We are so used to his kindergarten grammar that we don't even say anything anymore, but it's cool that you pointed it out ;)

fuck off. :)

[Bouncer]

Fuck all of those nappy headed hoes.

You really are a dumb fuck aren't you. It is fine to criticize rap music or the media hype this story is getting but to put down these women who have done nothing wrong is stupid and ignorant. What have these women done to be called names? Dont be fucking stupid rado.

What is your nationality by the way?

[NewbieChris]

haha. OMG, I just got in a huge discussion with some people about this last night...my opinion in 3 bullet points:

1) Imus is an idiot, so who really cares what he has to say?

2) When the incident became a racial issue it lost all credibility. I guess he wasn't talking about the white girls on the team when he said, "they're all a bunch of nappy headed hoes?"

3) His statement probably wasn't even about race, but like everything in this country that is the first thing we turn to. Instead of being responsible, we find the easy thing to scream victim to. Disgusting.

[Gods Son]

Imus is a shock jock guys... This is what he does,his job. Howard Stern said yesterday quote I call for all the N*****S to go after Imus.That MFer wouldnt shake my hand. I havent heard anyone complaining about his n word use yet.
