I can’t believe Jason Whitlock wrote this.
I watched the Rutgers news conference and was ashamed.
Its too bad this guy isn’t on ESPN anymore. It would be a welcome contrast to the white commentators tripping all over themselves to show who is the most politically correct.
Imus looks like more of an idiot as each day passes. The original comment he made was something you can hear in any comedy club in America every night of the week. But, the cry-baby Don Imus is out-doing himself each day with all of the grovelling. Even his biggest fans are not going to be able to maintain any respect for him after this spectacle.
The funniest aspect of all this is watching the ever lengthening parade of “civil rights” mouthpieces and liberal media-types getting their panties in a wad over this.
Now that the Anna Nicole story is finally petering out, the “news” networks need a new controversy to regurgitate for the next couple of weeks.
Imus to the rescue.
Homie Run!!

I guess that I’m totally un-PC.
All I see is a bunch of race-baiting pimps circling in blood infested waters over a non-event where Imus was egged on by Bernie.
I’ll bet that none of the Rutgers team would have ever known what was said except for the pimps making an event about it, and if they did hear about it, would have shrugged it off as they put up with more harassment by the male black students every day as they walk to classes.
But then I’m not PC!
Sharpton, Jaxhun, & the rest of the race pimps were set in Sep 2001 for the big splash with their agenda in South Africa with the UN Proceeding on “racism” and slavery that was headed toward reparations on a grand scale.....but it was somewhat derailed by the Israel matter, and then completely by 9-11. The race pimps here in the US have been on the back burner ever since, despite anything they can cook up.....business has been bad for a long time for them.
But things fell into place for them, finally, with a stupid but routine joking remark by Imus, who can be pointed to after the fact as being mostly a liberal......and NOW (this non-issue having been exploited so successfully, in fact beyond the wildest dreams of those pressing it) the way is cleared to go after any and all conservative talkers. Imus is no conquest for the left.....who are quite willing to sacrifice one who has been seemingly friendly to them, even though he has been abrasive and mostly irrelevant to them he is a feather in their cap since when the conservative talkers come under attack en masse they can point to Imus and claim HE was no conservative, so there is no bias in their current campaign to take conservative talkers down.
This will be in full swing before summer arrives.
When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset.
Nails it.
Boy, does Jason Whitlock really hit it on the head!
He’s absolutely right, Mike Lupica is a tiny companion.
And this is the guy ESPN sacked because he once criticized whiny NYC weasel Mike Lupica. ESPN also continues to employ “writers” like Scoop Jackson, Screamin’ A. Smith and now Jemele Hill, who once declared that Tiger Woods wasn’t doing enough for the black cause (?!?!?).
It’s a sad commentary on the times that many think Whitlock is only “allowed” to criticize hip-hop culture because he is black himself - but let’s ignore the circumstances and thank him for his courage and lucidity.
Powerful words that really ring true. When I think of an oppressed race I think of the Jews, who over the millenia have been marginalized, maltreated and subjugated by nearly every country they've migrated to. Yet their indomitable spirit and God-given abilities have always won out over oppression. The Jews have always risen to cultural equality and economic prosperity with every people of every nation, regardless of prejudices against them. They need no special laws to attain 'equality', because the natural law that declares "water rises to its own level" cannot be overridden by any amount of human hatred or ignorance, or by any nation's laws. The Jewish people should be an inspiration to blacks who still feel oppressed. In this generation at least, the black people of America are their own worst enemy, because as the author so articulately points out, they oppress themselves.
Nappy headed ho's? Thats it? THAT'S IT?
I haven't been following too closely, but I had heard about the suspension. I never heard what he said, but I assumed it was something REALLY bad, I mean, this guy is already AWFUL, he is nothing more than a big d*ck with a microphone, IMHO.
I am not impressed, Imus should be off the air for a lot of reasons, but really, this is pathetic. This is embarassing for us as a CULTURE. The hypocracy is stupifying.
Speaking of opportunism, the coverage of this is sickening. An army of talking heads don their velvet robes of self-righteous, politically correct piety, all the while thinking "Ratings bonanza, let's milk this for all it's worth."
The biggest story in the world for a week is that some radio clown said three stinking words.
I'm glad there's not a world war going on, that'd be something to talk about.
Nailed it. Great article.
Kudos to Whitlock, this is exactly what needed to be said. Everyone on this thread should email him ASAP.
Wow. For the first time ever I agree with Jason Whitlock. He drove me from watching The Sports Reporters when he was on....
