Discuss.

[slostang]

yeah I herd it on the news, you would think he would be a little bit smarter than that considering his past.

[Sammich]

i'm going to tell u like lil wayne said...

"f--- al sharpton"

[Sammich]

but lol @ don imus not being smart and learning to choose his words carefully...idiot should be fired...lol

[quickdodge®]

Everybody is going to be picking and choosing his words like they were CSI. ANYTHING he says that has to do with race will, by some people (racists themselves usually), automatically be considered a racist remark. He'll not be able to ever say the word "black" again and not be thought of as being racist. Later, QD.

[Sammich]

exactly..so why he gona ask a question like that...idiot, be an undercover racist or something

[Kelly]

I agree with you for the most part QD, but you really don't think that was a little uncalled for?

[quickdodge®]

I think, if Imus wants to continue to have a career in the public eye, he needs to pick and choose his words a LOT more wisely. For the reason I mentioned above. In his "history" right now, yes, it was uncalled for. If he had a clean slate and meant the comment to be the way he says it was intended, then it would NOT be so much unnecessary. See what I'm saying? Later, QD.

[Kelly]

Yep...

[Sammich]

he set himself up

[blackboi50]

[Sammich]

:2up:........what i meant to say was he aint say anything too bad.......hes on the radio for crying out loud........ive heard carlos mencia say worse things but just because hes a comedian he gets the golden pass!!!???.........1

in essence...yes...don imus is a DJ who is not known for jokes...so...what is it with him trying to make jokes, especially on a tender subject he already go in trouble for:no:

[Sammich]

he was talking about pacman jones...he asked what color he was, the guy answered and said he was african american, then imus replied 'there you go'...something along those lines...basically..he should have left race/color/gender/nationality out of it, seeing his history

[blackboi50]

oh wtf!? is pacman jones Black? i dont get why skin color is such a touchy subject....

[Sammich]

oh wtf!? is pacman jones Black? i dont get why skin color is such a touchy subject....

like QD, kelly and i have mentioned, due to imus' history, it is a touchy subject, something that imus should have left alone, but like a dummy, he went back to it and decided to get himself in trouble again..

everyone know that race is still an issue, its how u handle and manuevuer(sp?) around it, imus is not doing that..he's being retarded with how he talks about skin color:screwy:

You can't just fault Imus on that, though. Blame has to be placed all around. The idiots that think everything he says is racist should share the space as well. Later, QD.

yea i'm not going to sit here and say that its all his fault, but it is his fault for not being selective in his words, if he's as smart as he's suppose to be, he can improvise, am i wrong?

even at that, he could have elaborated. true i have not heard the whole thing when that was broadcast, but seeing how the news report read, he didnt elaborate at all after he said 'there you go'

Yeah its not really fair that his vocabulary is limited due to a one time semi-racist remark. This racist/reverse racism garbage is getting outta hand

[quickdodge®]

Nope.

He did elaborate:


What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason," Imus said Tuesday. "I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times. Maybe he did something once, but everyone does something once.

Later, QD.

[Sammich]

thanks for clarification man:goodjob: ...my measily +whatever reps

[BlkCD5]

African American sports players should just stop ****ing up. They're just adding to the stereotype.

[Sammich]

yea they are...alot of them are just trying acting real retarded

[blackboi50]

African American sports players should just stop ****ing up. They're just adding to the stereotype.

true true.....i hear ya on that one!!!!!!! but how come when a white sports player gets in trouble we only hear about it like one time???? :2cents:......1

[Sammich]

that is true...even when TO is doing other things besides actin a fool they still cover him, basically waiting for him to slip up...it just seems like..or maybe they are trying to give him attention shy away from the idiocies he has already done

[Vteckidd]

Is it a stereotype if its true?

I mean this is a multiple felon, multiple problems with the law, hes a thug, and hes in the NFL.

I took it a another millionaire black guy getting in trouble with the law, not all black people are criminals.

Man people jump to conclusions

[Sammich]

i read on yahoo this morning that he doesnt want to be known as pacman anymore because it has bad connontation, he wants to be called his real name and try to restructure his image

[twinj]

Yes Imus statement was racist. Then again Pacman Jones doesn't help it out either with his actions. Look at the dumb **** we do thats why we keep having these situations and comments made about us.

Shaq situation is a perfect example.

but i hate we got rid of him:(

[Hulud]

so wait, let me get this straight.

he said :

Imus asked, "What color is he?" Sports announcer Warner Wolf said Jones — formerly known as Pacman — is "African-American." Imus responded: "There you go. Now we know."

then said:

"What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason," Imus said Tuesday. "I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times. Maybe he did something once, but everyone does something once."


someone please explain to me how this is worth talking about? from the story in the link i dont feel that him saying "there you go" is saying what people are implying.

[quickdodge®]

Look at the dumb **** we do thats why we keep having these situations and comments made about us.

People of all races do "dumb ****" all the time. There's NO reason for racial comments to be made about anyone. No matter what they did. Later, QD.

nope sorry but pac man is a fuking idiot and there should be no excuse for his actions to get him trouble in the first place. I don't see anything wrong with Imus comments this time around
