Oh this is headed in a beautiful direction.
Did Don Imus Go Too Far (Again) With His Latest Comments?Sheriff Gonna Getcha 06-24-2008, 10:59 AM Oh this is headed in a beautiful direction. 70Chip 06-24-2008, 11:06 AM So "Adam" Jones is now "TAFKAP"? saden1 06-24-2008, 01:48 PM Ha...actually, he seems to be sticking up for Jones. So where's the racism against him? Wow...our panties get knotted too easily in this society sometimes. :D If anything, he's an idiot for wanting to give Pacman any sympathy. Pacman needs no defense and you're honestly telling me he's defending him? Does his history reflect his sentiments? You really buying his explanation? If you do, I have a bridge to sell you. I could careless what Imus says but the dude is a racist and I don't use that word lightly. I wonder if he hangs out with John Rocker? MTK 06-24-2008, 01:58 PM He would be wise to avoid any sort of racial discussions. He said his comment was meant to be sarcastic, but he really didn't make that clear at the time and now he's in damage control mode. And like saden said, given his history it's tough to believe him now. redsk1 06-24-2008, 03:49 PM I've never listened to Imus so i have no idea how he talks, what he talks about etc. I can say that it didn't sound like sarcasm when i heard it. firstdown 06-24-2008, 04:20 PM To be honest the title to this thread goes way beyond what he said and in really placing his name beside the KKK. Now that could be considered slander. When you guys start raising 40 mil to help cancer kids of all races then start casting stones. SmootSmack 06-24-2008, 04:27 PM I agree on the title. At first pass, it's humourous. Upon further inspection, it maybe a bit extreme. I'll change it As to your second point, that's ridiculous. Just because he has the means to, and spends the money, for a camp for kids does not give him any sort of carte blanche to behave irresponsibly and does not/should not prevent us from objecting to his behavior. firstdown 06-24-2008, 04:50 PM I agree on the title.

I get what you saying I'm not the best at putting thoughts down into words. My point was this man works very hard at raising money and has a whole line of products that 100 % goes back to his charity which is for all children of all races. He has a radio which he attacks all races. What he said about the basket ball team was out of line and I just don't think he was attacking them as much as trying to get a laugh. The pacman thing I just don't know but I feel the good he does for children of all races should be looked at when trying to determine what one thinks of him. SmootSmack 06-24-2008, 04:59 PM Sure, he uses his fame and platform to raise money and awareness for the Imus Ranch. And that's commendable, but again it's does not excuse other behavior and should not encourage it either. I'm not saying this is what you're doing.

You do not get to be a jerk/racist/whatever and offset it by doing a bunch of other good deeds. You are defined by your worst acts much of the time. He's a douche who I have now wasted 30 seconds of my life on. Shame on me. |
