Don Imus Loses Job

Your right. I had my kids in the car and they hit the radio ,was set to an R&B station that had some rap music going the lyrics were “ my nigga my niggan my nigga “ .. then I turned it off immediately ? See what I mean ? I don’t get how that can be on the air with no complaints from the community and then Imus says his peace and gets the AX ? . It don’t add up? Mixed signals cause accidents. I’m for freedom of speech. , say what you want, do what you want. Just don’t make me listen to any of it ! LMFAO ! :laugh:

who is he and what did he do;)?

Well, to be fair what he said was bad. I mean that is a pretty rough treatment of college girls but not a firable offense. I love how Imus has to answer to Sharpton before he did the girls, and even though they accepted his apology, Sharpton didn't and now Imus is gone.

I like Sharpton sometimes and sometimes I just think he's a publicity hound which is what he is here. Imus had no business saying what he did but it's obvious he regrets it and realizes he shouldn't have said it. Someone needs to knock Sharpton off his soapbox.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are like the only two people I wish slow and painful deaths on.......maybe Bin Laden and Ahminijad too but I don't have to listen to their bullcrap or play by their rules either!

If no one likes the word nigger, then NO ONE SHOULD USE IT....but if whites can use it the neither should blacks.

Words are not ownable.....just ask Paris Hilton about trying to copyright "That's hot"

Agreed. What he said was more demeaning than anything else. It was in poor taste, but Imus, Stern, Limbaugh, Bob Grant, Jay Diamond, etc. Have made much more outlandish remarks.
I'm sure Sirius and XM, depending on what the courts decide about their merger, are salivating from the mouth right now and will wait for this to settle down. Then they'll probably offer Imus a very lucrative offer in a different time slot to Howard Stern.

Did you ever know that Right Reverend Al Sharpton has never appologized about Tawana Brawley....here's a link explaining that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawana_Brawley

But Sharpton asked for Imus' appology for some stupid bullshit like this.


I'm tired of this posturing and grandstanding.....I have the right to my opinion and I will fight people tooth and nail to keep it!

or when Jessie Jackson called New York "Hymie Town".....that wasn't racist....no....

all this coming from a guy that just posted....I was hangging out with "Hicks"......hypocrite......

.....now BigRagu it's not racist to call someone a hick.....that's the whole problem I have with this.

PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT RACISM IS!!!!

It's not calling someone a nappy headed ho and it's not calling someone a hick. Name calling isn't racism.....it's BIGOTRY, there is a difference as subtle as it may be

Racism is injustice, double standards, and so on...it's denying people rights because of their race

CC Lyle. Honestly, I could call them rednecks? Or farmboys but that would just sound gay. It's not even namecalling really, it's not putting anyone down. Hoes on the other hand is. But it's not racist and that's what I agree with you on Lyle, actually I agree with most everything you're saying. Nappy headed I guess could be interpreted as racist if you're reaching but plenty of white girls have nappy hair.

The issue isn't about race.

Rednecks....hillbillies whatever.....just no "peckerwoods" or "ophay" or "crackers".....it's not that I am personally offended by such stupid names but if you're going to be fair then be fair to everyone



There can be black rednecks (IMO).....and northern rednecks as well. It connotates a country lifestyle, lower economic status, and an overall lack of knowledge

If Martin Luther King wasn't killed the country would be much better off right now. He did things because he felt they were just not to gain something politically. If he wouldn't of been assassinated jesse jackson and al sharpeton would have absolutely no power today. He distanced himself from malcolm x and even muhammad ali because he felt they wanted to obtain freedom thru shady means. He wanted equality for all people regardless of race. The problem today is that everyone thinks jj and Al are on the same level as king when it comes to integrity and motive and thats a joke because honestly Jackson and Sharpeton combined don't even equal half the man that king was.

On another note i want that Kamou Kambone relieved of his teaching responsibilities. You can change the channel for a radio but if you take a class you have to listen to the guy in order to pass.

Those two guys are for the black power movement, They ain't worth a piss in the bucket for me. I consider myself an unracist person, I usually try to judge by the contents rather than the cover. I wish our elders never tried to reach the heavens in babylon and maybe all this shat would not be going on. Love everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!or as Wacko would say Biaaoooothhhhheeess!!!!
