Don Imus

Imus will be on XM or Sirius within a month, I'm sure.

I agree. Where was the apology to the Duke lacrosse players? Sure, Imus is a retard, but at least he apologized and manned up enough to go on Sharpton's show and apologize there. When the Duke players had their charges dropped, Sharpton and Jackson should shrank right back to their homes. Playing victim is not constructive whatever situation it is. White, black, green or striped, what does it accomplish? All it does is drive a stake in between whatever races are attacked.
True. Idiot Al, and Jesse do nothing but HARM to race relations. Not repair them

Here here.

I feel the African American population in this country needs better leadership. The likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do nothing to help advance the standing of blacks in this country. If anything they hurt it by giving little leadership and instead they pander to the reverse-discrimination emotionality that only causes divisiveness and blocks opportunity.

Exactly. I don't see how Jesse and Al don't feel they have instantly segregated the nation with this crap. This has been the biggest media shitstorm racially in a long time. I'm talking even bigger than Michael Richards.

While guys like Bill Cosby who seem to realize that the biggest issue in the AA community is the attacks on each other get railed on whenever they bring it up. How dare a successful person like Cosby talk about things that might actually help the AA community and improve race relations.

No doubt. He won't be off the air for long, once this cools off satellite will snatch him up.

i always saw this statement as a lot more sexist than racist

Yeah it's interesting how many people overlook the Ho part of it

I don't get the whole part of how much this has offended them to the point that they say it has (life time of pain). Yes the remarks where bad but how can a college and coach allow this to cause these players this much sorrow. What would have happend if this would have been a week before the playoffs. Would they have just hung their heads and given up. I would be of the mind set that what one person said is not going to bother me and I feel the coach and school have let them down by buying into all this stuff. They say how much this offended them but I bet if we could look at their CD collection we could find much worse degrading of women. This is music that the younger generation is listening to and watching so how are they going to treat women after all of this negative influence. I talked to my daughter about this and she said she sees and hears this stuff all the time.

I take it you've never been called "nigger" out of the blues or had someone tell you "f*ck you, get me a white person." I can go on and on. Shit adds up after a while you know. Emotionally, not everyone is like you. No one should have to put up with that sort of thing.

As for rap it's mostly consumed by white people. People will make whatever sells and white kids sure are buying.

p.s. I just noticed the forum language filter filters out f*ck but not nigger. Nice.
