ABC Radio declined to comment and said Imus would address the issue Tuesday morning on his show.

The ratings might go up tomorrow because people will want to hear Imus's explanation...I can't listen to the show....Besides everything else I find annoying about the show, the commercials seem never-ending...

Isn’t Imus statistically correct in his conclusion regarding these matters? He did not use any ugly words...only what is in the newspapers of every major city in this country. It isn’t an exclusive and universal, but it is a consistency. Ask Bill Cosby.

I must admit when I first heard it, I thought he meant that because Pacman was AA, it was easier for him to get busted...it was just that with his history, I could not imagine him saying something like that again. I hardly listen to him anymore, whereas I used to religiously.

Sharpton and all the other race pimping extortionists need to show some outrage over the obscenities being explained as a “black thing”.....

70% out of marriage child birth —— Crimes way out of proportion to population —— Black on black crime —— Insufficient educational achievements —— Out of proportion Drug use and trafficking -——— to name a few of the things that SHOULD be attracting Sharpton’s attention...

But — there ain’t no money in preaching to his people.....
He’s got to come down on the white devils responsible.....

Freedom of speech, should permit one to comment on the observed behavior of folks without being attacked by black racists or apologists screaming “OUTRAGE, RACIST”.

If one doesn’t like the labels -— change the product.

(Not defending Imus.)

I can’t help but notice Sharpton has nary a peep to offer the collective body politic regarding Obama, but the first thing Imus utters regarding a black athlete, and he’s all over it.

What a schmuck Sharpton is.

He offends me.

Can I sue him?
