Well buddy I heard it in context and Imus meant what he said, he meant "Pacman is black and got targeted by the police because of that"...why would Imus a guy who has DEDICATED (and continues to dedicate) ENTIRE SHOWS to race relations do that? No one he has had on said what he said was wrong and believe you me they would if they thaught he meant that "because Pacman is black he gets in trouble"....that's LAZY to think that you probably didn't even know about those shows about race relations but oh well you won't care because your opinion is already formed and you obviously dislike Imus....oh well I know I'll cry myself to sleep tonight because of it
Yes, my mind is made up. People form opinions based on the things they hear. Just like you have. You figure because Imus has shows on race relations that he isn't racist. I think regardless of the shows he puts on that he is, that those shows are probably more spin for him to polish up his sullied image. It's just a difference of opinion. The mere fact that Imus wasn't able to articulate what he meant the day after he said what he said about Jones is just evidence to me of his floundering like a fish out of water. I heard what he said and it made no sense. If anyone TRULY believes Pacman is being targeted for being black and nothing else you are a sucker! Pacman is being targeted because he keeps breaking the law and getting caught. Imus' comment either makes no sense or it was the further ranting of a racist. Let's see, someone who's gotten into trouble over racially insensitive remarks in the past, who couldn't deny using racial epithets in the past- I wonder which one it was. And stop it, Lyle, you and me both know I'm not personally attacking you don't try to act like because we don't agree that I'm trying to come after you. That's not the case in the least. I respect your opinion and hell, you knocked my socks off by showing you know more than I would expect out of anybody on here (some things that I don't even know), but at times you seem to knee-jerk lash out and us disagreeing certainly isn't a situation where we need to go down that path. Hell, you just gave me rep on us agreeing about the Klitschko-Thompson fight. I have my opinion on Imus, you have yours on him. The fact of it is, neither one of us really knows if he is a racist so the only thing we have to go on is the things he says and the things he does and we have separate interpretations of those things.

You called me lazy because I'm black, didn't you? Racist bastard.
