sides
I understand why Rutgers, the NAACP, the state of New Jersey, CBS, MSNBC, and every other official is angry at Don Imus. His remarks were ridiculously stupid and inappropriate.
Should he be fired?
I’m okay with that as long as Al Sharpton, Rutgers, BET, MTV and every other organization that wants him canned can answer me this…
Why aren’t you just as upset with the hip-hop/rap community that continues to insult and degrade women by their songs and videos?
Why aren’t those same people calling for the heads of the rappers, music industry executives, or television networks who have done worse than one comment on a radio show?
Just wondering out loud.

The answer to your question is a simple one:
Imus is white.

The “he’s white” argument is lame. What about Eminem? He’s white. He’s just as filthy. I love the United States of Double Standard.

Same thing I’ve been screaming for years… follow the money. The race-baiters make money on this kind of stuff, and their “community” makes money on the hip-hop/rap. All under the umbrella of “You aren’t black, you don’t understand… but if you’re black you can say whatever you want about anybody else.”
Double standard indeed.

well at least rappers have good taste in hos, as they do not rap about the nappy headed ones!

I don’t think I have ever agreed with you more
