            i don't care for don imus one bit.

            what i find troubling about this shit is the fact that this guy has been saying things of this nature for well over thirty years!why is this such a big deal now? don imus is an asshole who picks on EVERYBODY! the man does not discriminate. he believes everyone is equally worthless.

            is anyone else remotely curious as to what those "nappy headed ho's" listen too? i'd be willing to bet some of the music they ****** is far more derogatory and degrading than anything that ever fell out of don imus's piehole.

                  this whole thing is a joke. i don't like imus, but this is ridiculous. i cant believe people care this much about a throw-away comment.

                  people make fun of white-male basketball players all the time, but because its black women, everyone is up and arms.

                    I agree 100%. I can care less for Imus, but no way should he have been fired.

                    South Park has been on TV since 1997, and they a far worse on making racist implications.
                    "Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant'
                    is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'"

                      I think the whole matter including all of the coverage is absurd;it should have got a brief mention and thats it.
                      I think those who were overly offended by the remark which was obviously made in jest should attend a course in sensitivity training with the focus of emphasis on THEIR OWN fragile sensitivity.
                      Even if Imus meant it(which I doubt), there is such a thing as freedom of speech;as stated before I never liked Rush Limbaugh calling President Clinton all kind of nasty names when he was President and demeaning poor people and those less fortunate, but I would defend his right to say what he wants.

                        How come the black girl who wrongly accused 3 WHITE guys of committing rape (far worse than what this clown said) is not catching heat? Think if the situation was reversed and it was a white girl calling out 3 brothas, this shit would be non-stop "racist" talk...this fucking bitch pretty much ruined these 3 guys' lives for 13 months and fucked with a lot of other poeple's lives with a brutal accusation, and she gets nothing? I think that's fucking absurd.

                            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.
