Don Imus

Matty your wrong he is not a jackass he's a racist biget, just like rush limbaurgh,..........a jackass can be forgiven, as a blackman he would made those comments about my child who played on that team I would have whooped his shaggy dog,..old prune ass.....whoever dont like that ........TO DAMN BAD

See no offense bud, but I think this is the exact kind of stuff that I am talking about. The majority of America wants to crucify him and make him the scapegoat, but he isnt to blame for the issue for racist. I am sure a shitload of people may have thought similar things as Imus and I am sure a lot of people found it funny, and are now talking about how it is a bad thing.

My point is racism is present everywhere, but instead of addressing the problem we hide it until its ugly head comes out after an issue like this. We as Americans need to discuss stuff like this and try to accomplish something rather than just blaming someone and making them the scapegoat.

That does absolutely nothing at all.

just to play devil's advocate rappers and comedians definitely refer to black women as hos and bitches.

Lets get this straight, comedians and rappers refer to all women who do ho'ish things hos regardless of race. I can't recall ever hearing them utter "...Black Ho." Just because the rapper is black and he calls women hos doesn't mean he is talking about black women.

Oh I know, but along with racism Don Imus made a sexist statement which is an issue.

I think the issue is a combination of sexism and racism which needs to be addressed. Like I said I am playing devil's advocate. I dont support what he said, but if you read my last post which was a response to 100% Whoopass; I think that summarizes my position well.

I don't know what you're trying to say or the point you are trying to make dude. Also there is a huge difference between being badgered and being insulted. Having telemarketers call your home phone is being badgered. Having a well known media personality with a lot of listeners call you a "Nappy Head Ho" is not.



Perhaps black people are too sensitive? Perhaps there aren't white comedians with some balls or capable of pulling it of right? Give me an example of the kind of black jokes you would like to see a white comedian do. Or the kind of jokes you'd like a black comedian stop doing.

If I knew the answers to those questions, then I would be a commedian. But the ones that I would like to see stopped are the frequent stereo types about whites that sound like this.
Cant Dance or got no rythm, are rich, never struggled through life because they're white, speak proplely, have small genitles, have no coordination, like mayonaise, dont get into trouble for no reason by cops, have no understanding of black culture, hate hot sauce, good at ice skating and hockey, cant jump, are slow, are racist, cold weather people, like to eat p****, afraid of people that aren't white, dont know how to F*** his girl right, will just stand there if something pops off. Look the list goes on and on. Either its ok for all commedians to do jokes like this or none.

I dont know about specific jokes but black people in general really need to stop using "nigga" all the time. And I hang out with a bunch of black people especially when I am back at NOVA, and then our non-black friends also start saying it. It is fine but after a while it just makes you sounds stupid. It is almost insulting to use a word that slave owners once referred to black people as.

I just think it is a stupid term and just stupid to distinguish between nigger and nigga. Neither should be used.

And this isnt just me, many significant black leaders think the usage of the word is offensive and shouldnt be used.
To me. saden, this is the main problem. I am very familiar with black culture, jokes and community. I still think it is a huge issue.

I listened to it. In my opinion respect is a two way street. It is either ok for everyone to make jokes of that nature or no one at all. Me personally, I like and laugh with those commedians that we afore mentioned. But, those people that were laughing, should not be upset when all of a sudden they are the brunt of somebody else's joke.

Being insulted is a form of being badgered. You didn't ask for it, and it bothers you that you got it.

That kind of stuff is really lowbrow in my opinion. Top tier comedians don't do that kind of material. Most audience members are white and the only way to stop this low lowbrow is for white people not part with their money.

Anywho, we'll talk about this some more tomorrow. Got to sleep now. Peace.

If Imus is an idiot, what does that make this guy?
