Don Imus, sticks his foot in his mouth...

[Pete]

This man should've been fired.

How in the H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICK do u think saying "jiggaboos & nappy headed hoes" is NOT racist?!

First Kramer and now this....

It is inevitable that a white person will eventually come out of pocket with statements like this at the height of anger, frustration or when they are just flat out drunk & high....

This man looks like the grim repear at a concentration camp and the cotton fields.

He didn't say that, someone else did. You are bigoted against weaseled up old men?

 

[mAlice]

Try again.

I should've expected that response though....

Instead of admitting the fact that what this man said was racist you would rather try and justify his actions by using a "black" person as an example.

Don't you have some pet food to throwup?

There's this little thing called free speech, so GFY.

 

[Qurious]

Just pointing out the double standard when I see it.

There is no double standard. It's life.

White. Black.
Gay. Straight.
Men. Women.

There are differences. Everyone can't do what the opposite does. When you try and then justify the actions you look very stupid.

I forgot you use that right to call your kids or any kid for that matter animals.

BAH!

That very statement defines the double standard.

If you want to talk about looking stupid, your above comment paints a very distinct picture.

Wrong answer. But thanks for playing.

 

[Roughidle]

No...I'm right and that's whats bothering you.

Howard Stern calling someone an a-hole? Since when is Stern some sort of standard for defining anyone's sense of decency?

No one said anything about Stern setting standards. He just talked about what he witnessed of Don Imus.

Are you saying it is ok for straights to get married but not gays?

 

[Pete]

No, just you.

Ah I see, only ones who you can't beat in a debate.

 

[Qurious]

Are you saying it is ok for straights to get married but not gays?

Thats a whole nother topic but yes I do feel that way.

It made me sick last night seeing Sharpton trying to make him profusely sp?? apologize. I personally don't listen to Imus but if one doesn't like what he says then just turn it off. I'd of had a hard time not calling Sharpton a nappyheaded dumbazz. He of all people shouldn't be standing in judgement the crap he spews.

no one put a gun to his head to make him come on the show and apologize.

if he didnt care about his comments then he wouldn't had came on the show and apologized for a damn thing.

but its obvious he had a guilty conscience and knew the words he said were racial.

and another thing!!!...........

why is it everytime a non black person that makes racist remarks about African-Americans always brings up rap music....WTF does that have do with their ass making racist remarks...are rappers the moral leaders of our society-NO..does society gauge right and wrong from what they do and say-NO...so WTF...if a black person offends a white person , do we offer the violence in heavy metal music as justification....rap music is not the summation of the African-American community!!!!!!!! YES rappers say some very disparaging things in their music, it is a problem WE need to solve, but that has nothing to do with nor justify what any racist crap any non-black person blurts out!!!!!!!!!!!!


anytime a white person is in the news for saying some racist crap....the thread gets posted on this board and members proceed to high five and agree with one another and justify the celebs actions using blacks as a reason its "okay" to offend.

Its not.

I have only seen one post anything close to "justifying" this:

It was a joke...good grief, don't let the media dictate common sense. If you don't like it, don't listen. Damn!

The majority opinion is:

He is a horrid, untalented old geezer. I often wonder how he manages to remain employed.

How can you justify your statement?

I would assume he felt the political correct thing to do was to apologize but,, that wasn't good enough for Sharpton.

As far as Rap, I don't listen to it or think of it as justification for remarks made. I say it's not unlike Imus to say the things he says, that's why he has the following he does...but I say just get over it. Crappy things get said just as much against whites, It doesn't bother me, it's just someones opinion and you know what they say about that. :shrug:

 

[Roughidle]

I haven't read any post justifying Imus's comments. Maybe I missed them.
