And to hawk their useless books.
Hey.. if this would have been BOB KNIGHT who said the remarks Imus did.............. it would have been 24-7 on ESPN and all collage websights.
Or how about the next SNL? THAT should be really interesting!
Imus is no fool--he'll use this "controversy" to his advantage and probably raise more money than ever before.
School Daze is a 1988 musical-drama film, written and directed by Spike Lee, and starring Laurence Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito, and Tisha Campbell. Based in part on Spike Lee’s experiences at Atlanta’s Morehouse College, it is a story about fraternity and sorority members clashing with other students at a historically black college during homecoming weekend. School Daze was the second feature film directed by Spike Lee. Spike Lee was asked to stop production on the campuses of Morehouse, Spelman, and Clark Atlanta University during filming because the colleges’ Boards of Directors had concerns on how Historically Black Colleges were being portrayed in the film. Lee had to finish filming at the neighboring Morris Brown College.
Throughout the film, hair weave-wearing African American women of the Gamma Rays (a women’s auxiliary to the Gamma Phi Gamma fraternity) battle it out with their, Afro-headed fellow co-eds. The students at Mission College also battle with the local unemployed and uneducated people living around the campus, who resent the Mission students for taking all of the good jobs.
Musical performances are throughout, including the production “Straight and Nappy”, “Be Alone Tonight” performed by Campbell (as Jane Toussaint and her Royal Court), and a dis-fest between the Wannabes and Jigaboos on campus. The go-go anthem “Da Butt” is performed by the group E.U. during the after-party for the Gammites.

Now the National Orginaztion for Women is calling for Imus to resign..sigh
I was just talking to a friend who’s daughter goes to Rutgers and knows some of the players.
They laughed at it. They thought it was stupid.
But Jesse and Al are pressuring them to make a big deal out of it.
They and their families are peppered with calls from jesse and Al constantly and they are upset they were able to get those phone numbers without permission.
And she deserves an apology as all of them do. But not all blacks or women do.
msnbc poll...

A suspension is too much. He’s a shock jock, this is what he’s paid for.

The real test will be how the liberal media elites respond. Are they too afraid to go back now?
Someone should do a report on that.
This is the first time they sided with women against a liberal.
He needs to go down the memory hole, like Earl Butz.
Imus is gonna have to fund a chair or scholarship at Rutgers, maybe both. Then Jesse will call off the dogs
...and he's still trying to trash & blame the conservatives for this, yesterday he said, "I'm not a racist, I'm not some right wing conservative nut racist!"
Trying to continue the pandering, he then called himself "an old white cracker" on Sharpton's show,
Was Imus in Hymietown when he made these comments?
