so what did he really say?
- mrdobolina0
he called the rutger's female basketball team - nappy headed ho's
Not really the perfect thing for a 70 year old zombie looking white man to say.

ah. yea. just read that. weird.

the guy should just retire probably. Is it worth it anymore? Pack up yer cowboy hat and hit the golf course for the rest of your days.

(Apr 11 07, 14:02)I think it was:
"You know what gets my old twig and berries revved up? Checking out some..."
Fill in from there...

an unfunny old douchebag

Watching the video, the whole conversation feels more misogynistic than racial. The racism is almost circumstancial.
Just my gut reaction.

yea. i kinda feel that way too, but he is calling a mostly black team, "nappy-headed ho's".

think it is just another opportunity for Al Sharpton to get some press. Think he will apologize to the Duke LAX team who just got all the charges dropped for calling them out and racists also?
As for Imus, he probably is a deep down racist, but there are way worse radio people out there, both white and black that say much worse stuff.

are we really going to convict people of being racist for saying the word "Nappy"?
I say to all girls, "Let me get in that snappy nappy dougout". Is it the same thing?

I think it's funny how people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, can go on TV and pretend to be America's moral authority...
One has children out of wedlock and they both like to support causes that turn out to be false, ie Duke Lacrosse and Tawana Brawley
And lets not forget Sharpton calling Jewish people Diamond merchants and "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house."
If these idiots can keep getting airplay I don't see why Imus can't.

Mostly because black people are a minority and have historically been fucked over in this country repeatedly. So when racism comes from blacks it comes with absolutely no power behind it. but that's just my opinion.

Also, I don't ever remember Imus being on the bad end of a firehose. But again, that's just my opinion.

Look Imus is a dinosaur and his humor has certainly not kept up with the times, and his whole "nappy headed hos" was in really, really bad taste and he deserves a reprimand and a bit of education, but why do Sharpton and Jackson go after Imus with so much gusto and enthusiasm but seem powerless in front of real bigots like Limbaugh and Coulter?
Just asking...
- mrdobolina0
there are theories out there that imus was easy pickings and sets a nice precedent.

This just in:
MSNBC drops Imus' simulcast. Just reported on my local news.
- PonyBoy0
bummer, I-man... I've been listening to you since I was 16 (my dad got me hooked)...
... and I'm bummed that msnbc has killed the broadcast permanently. It 'used to' come on here at 3am - which is usually when I'm still working and it was a very welcome 'break' in the silence of night whilst workin' away...
:(
He's FAR from racist... far far from it... and he shoots his mouth off 'jokingly' all the time, along w/his producer Bernard. Sometimes they're WAY OUT OF LINE... and I actually switch off sometimes...
... but he DID give a great interview.
He's done now... oh well.
