Wasn’t he the guy that said Jigaboo?
McGuirk? I dunno.
I do know that McGuirk was the first to mention them as “Hard core ho’s”
But, I never listen to the program.
Yep, he was. In some news stories they said that the Imus guy said that. I have no use for the "N" word but in my mind "jigaboo" is even more insulting because it implies a stupid shuffling type of dirty black person.
McGurk was replying to Imus' mention that the Tennessee girls were cute and the Rutgers girls had tattoos.
McGurk made reference to Spike Lee's "School Daze" where one group of black girls were referred to as "Wannabees" (white) and the other group of black girls were revolutionaries and referred to as "Jigaboos" by the "Wannabees".
The movie had a whole production number with a dancing chorus singing about the differences.
Since Imus is quite catholic in his music choices from show tunes to rap, he's probably heard the "nappy" phrase in a Ice Cube song.
All that aside, I think some of this is staged to get Imus out of his contracts and go to satellite radio under his old boss, Karmizan.
“Jigaboo”
Now THAT was racist. Haven’t heard that in a looooonnnnng time.
