The only line Imus crossed was apologising every minute for the last several days of his TV/Radio career and kneeling at Sharpton’s feet. At that point I knew Imus had to go.

"Whitey"?
Should I be offended by that racial slur? Maybe I will have a white version of Al Sharpton to tell me when I should or should not be offended, until then I will continue to ignore such comments.

Generally speaking Whiteys too dumb to know where the line is. This misses the point. In my experience, people wait for Whitey to take a step, then they draw the line behind Whitey and act shocked, "You crossed the line!"
By the rules of the game, knowledge of where the line is, or will be, is withheld from Whitey.

Exactly! He should have never caved in to the politically correct crowd. He should have said: “Yeah, I said it. It was a poor choice of words but I said it. Deal with it.”
He probably would have still been fired but he could have gone out with his dignity. Am I right or wrong?

All the groveling Imus did was fruitless as far as preventing the MSM enema he was given. If it were Rush or Savage they would simply have lashed back, especially at Sharpton. But Imus depends on MSM advertisers and that means he has to play by liberal, politically-correct rules. Now he is the one who is a hoe, and as far as I am concerned, he’s always been nappy-headed, in more ways than one.

Nappy-head, it turns out (excuse my whiteyness), means a black person who has allowed their hair to grow naturally into a tightly curled afro. Its a term that can be used self-referentially with pride or disparagingly about others. Being a racial thing, its power is in the mouth of the speaker. Or is it in the ear of the listener? Its complicated, so, in the interests of a quiet life, dont use it unless you are very confident or, in fact, a nappy-head. Fire him!

Yes, he would have gone out with dignity and maybe even have followers. Instead he proclamed his words as “racist”. His statement could have easily been explained otherwise. He caved. And he caved very easily.

Screw the crass Imus. He is a fool who Liberal sissy boys have sucked up to for years. If I want ghetto vulgarisms, I will get them from the experts who will be voting for Obama (by the way), not from this frail poser who is such a feeble geezer despite the fact he is admired by the other flabby old white boys that constitute anile Liberalism, an academic schoolmarmism that is bereft of any personal experience or common sense.

I accidentally ran into rap videos and videos by blacks on YouTube done 4 months ago and earlier with “Nappy-head” in the title of the video. That did not originate from Imus.

These white radio boys were sniggering about that. If he'd said "snigger", he'd be in even bigger trouble.

A Brit can’t use the word “guy” or his tongue will be cut out? First I heard of that rule. Fortunately, I’m not a Brit. (Thank you, George Washington.)
To: elhombrelibre
Yes, the one it hurts most is Edwards and Kerry. Imus was a big supporter.
Hopefully Jesse Peterson will replace Imus in that MSNBC timeslot

When I was a teen, afros were “cool.” Does this mean that what used to be “cool” is now called “nappy”?

Hes (Imus is) quite amusing and articulate in a resolutely uncomplicated way and had a huge listenership generating vast advertising revenue.Debatable... right down the line, debatable.

“Imus apologised, offered no excuses, was roundly vilified and endured the measured, disproportionate wrath of Al Sharpton when guesting on the black activist/pentecostal ministers radio show”
Sharpton’s about as much a Pentecostal minister as I’m one of the Flying Wallendas !!!

Blah blah blah blah....... all this blahing can’t explain away shameful, disgusting and racing comments that Imus made.
What’s wrong with those girls? Are they not best of what society has to offer? In their most glorious moment, Imus hurled sickening insults. He didn’t know that people may get offended because he doesn’t have a ‘racism’ detector in his head (or it momentarily stopped working).
