To me, that word was really naughty.
The jigaboo word was used by Imus’s sidekick in that Rutgers discussion. It was used as a reference to a basketball game in a Spike Lee movie, in which one team was called the Jigaboos. The whole thing in context was just silly parody/comedy and a pop culture reference. Problem was with Whitey saying it. Black comics can do their fake white voice all day long and get big laughs with no one complaining. I don’t like Imus or agree with what he said but this double standard crap and hypocrisy has to go. Unfortunately it only gets worse every day in this insane and fading country.
