And at No. 6 is "Rock Your Hips" by "Crime Mob." Here's the non-obscene part:

That was the non-obscene part?!?!?

[jbwbubba]

I would love to see a copy of the CD’s and tracks on mp3 players the team at Rutgers own and see what the lyrics say.

[trisham]

Wow. Malkin nails it.

[stockpirate]

Her point is WELL taken.

Has there been any information on the Rutgers women’s basketball team? Are they legitimate Rutgers students - and majoring in what - or are they, as MANY school teams are, hired athletes? I haven’t seen this information anywhere yet.

“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?”

Right on, Michelle.

There is a double standard for what black people are allowed to say, and what everyone else is allowed to say. The person would brought the word “Ho” into our national “debate” is Eddie Murphy in his Saturday Night Live skits as Venus Jones, the pimp. If you want an eye-opener on what black people are allowed to say in public, on TV, without being called on it, check out A&E Actors Studio interviews with Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy. That freak of a host was totally appalled, but just sat there like a jackass.

Foul Sharptongue is for Foul Sharptongue. He doesn’t care about black people. He doesn’t care if black people do well in life. He cares about advancing himself. Someone like the Rev. Peterson cares about black people and Bill Cosby seems to be the same. They don’t focus on the insignificant stuff.

[dalight]

I believe that Imus hangs out with some folks in this crowd and they talk this way all of the time. So he slipped and let this talk get on the air. But, he is rich, white and old and all of the sudden, the horror of just what is being said isn't excused anymore.

Michelle is right. The problem is that the double standard has gotten so bad that it only exists in public and for non-libs. In private, hood speak by white folks is perfectly acceptable in mixed groups. But, the error is that this crap is acceptable in any context.

When one views the statistic of 70% illigitimatacy rate of black births, one wonders if the Imus generalization was too far from the mark.

We know of Jackson’s bastards. We wonder about Sharpton’s.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Well, you can't say Imus didn't give fair warning many years ago:

[MrB]

Just a grammar note:

“disrespect” is NOT, I REPEAT, NOT!!

a verb.

[bray]

When I first heard Imus’ comments, I thought he was talking about the Gators??

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Aquinasfan]

Now the moral of the story is cuff yo chick, 'cause hey, I'm black, fresh, and I rap, plus I'm rich, and I'm a flirt.

Gotta love that old time Rap.

Why did you censor the title? We deal in truth and facts here. Not catering to ridiculous sensitivities.

Just read the article and I never realized that there were songs out there that made David Allen Coe look like a kindergartener.

[hosepipe]

[ Let's also stipulate: The Rutgers women's basketball team didn't deserve to be disrespected as "nappy-headed hos." ]

Apparently from what I see on TV...
Them "nappy headed hos" seem to be milking this sound bite for all its worth.. even the Caucasian ones..

[GOP Poet]

go michelle!

Bears repeating...

[TigersEye]

Is the Sharpton & Jackson Circus truly committed to cleaning up cultural pollution that demeans women and perpetuates racial epithets?

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.
