Let's stipulate: I have no love for Don Imus, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. A pox on all their race-baiting houses.
Let's also stipulate: The Rutgers women's basketball team didn't deserve to be disrespected as "nappy-headed hos." No woman deserves that. I agree with the athletes that Imus's misogynist mockery was "deplorable, despicable and unconscionable." And as I noted on Fox News's "O'Reilly Factor" this week, I believe top public officials and journalists who have appeared on Imus's show should take responsibility for enabling Imus — and should disavow his longstanding invective.
But let's take a breath now and look around. Is the Sharpton & Jackson Circus truly committed to cleaning up cultural pollution that demeans women and perpetuates racial epithets? Have you seen the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart this week?

At one point he had a look on his face like he was really holding back from hitting Geraldo (it looked like he could have easily lost it). It was during one of the sneer faces and clenching of hands that I thought that.

Then it is dishonest to present it as if it were true. And disingenuous to present it as if it might be true.
“One dumb radio/television shock jock’s insult is a drop in the ocean of barbaric filth and anti-female hatred on the radio.
Imus gets a two-week suspension. What kind of relief do we get from this deadening, coarsening, dehumanizing barrage from young, black rappers and their music industry enablers who have helped turn America into Tourette’s Nation?”
Bears repeating...
The nappy-headed race-hustlers are coming out of the woodwork on this one. Some screaming racist named Leo Tyrell was on H&C last night and he had no point at all. Just kept yelling over everyone else.
Imus should play those rap tunes as bumper music from now on.
Read the above posts to understand the history of it—it’s now been removed. I didn’t present it at as true knowing it was false. I thought it was true quotes but found at differently after seeing the actual interview.
You have no idea..... ;^)
The young women seemed like normal, bright college students at the press conference.
So true, and perhaps the only good to come out of the Imus incident is this discussion.
Well I can certainly understand why Al Stepnfetch would be offended by the nappy headed ho comment.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I have two words for Al Sharpton: Twana Brawley.
“Well I can certainly understand why Al Stepnfetch would be offended by the nappy headed ho comment”
Yep, kinda cut close to his fat-covered bones. Whatta couple of pimps he and JJ are.
Turning America into Tourette's Nation......BTTT.
And two words for Jesse Jackson—Duke LaCrosse (I don’t know the name of that liar/life ruiner).
3.0 is a solid B, while 2.5 is roughly 75%.
