				why is it so bad? I mean, ive heard 50 cent songs say MUCH worse. was it because it was a 75 year old white man?

				That's the issue right there. Had he been Black, he would've probably been reprimanded but not called racist.Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD
 
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
 
				that's exactally why. Jesse and Al are nothing but race pimps and biggots with chips on their shoulder bigger than any Tosito I've ever seen.Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD

				This is exactly my point. IT IS NOT OKAY WHEN 50 CENT SAYS IT! The fact of the matter is that it doesn't get media attention when 50 cent says it in a rap song but who in there right mind looks at 50 cent as a role model. I guarantee you that if Charles Barkeley used profanity on TNT or used a racial slur, it would be a problem. Yeah, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are who they are, but who brings the cameras to them and puts them on tv? The same principle that many of you have suggested about changing the channel or turning down the volume when Imus speaks could be used on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. However the general consensus is that they are idiots so everyone chimes in. WRONG IS WRONG REGARDLESS OF WHO DOES IT OR SAYS IT!Originally Posted by bafbrian

I am multi-racial and I have never used any derogatory terms that are racial in nature bcuz, like it says in bold, wrong is wrong.
Regardless of what color a person is, a statement like this is down right wrong. If this guy gets in trouble, then everyone who calls a woman that or makes racial comments, should get in trouble, but that will never happen bcuz there are too many different standards for different races.

				im not up to par on the news, who said this, and where
 
 
				Ha ha ha I think it would bad for anyone to say that.....it was uncalled, he had no reason to say that. For the most part 50 Cent is not talking about certain people or a person in his songs
(not saying that it is ok).......both are not good this just got publicized....ALOT
 
 
				Really? so all rappers never talk about anyone else specifically? so if Imus was making a more generalized blanket statement it would have been ok?Originally Posted by candy2082002

				is this about the don imus?? ive heard alot about him lately but dont know what he said?
 
 
				He is in the public eye....I would say that about anyone man, women, race and age. Anyone in the public should watch what they say.....people look up to them
 
 
				who said what??? i missed it... who's don imus?
 
 
				It's totally retarded. Are they "nappy headed ho's"? If not, why get bent out of shape about it? If so, the truth is an absolute defense. The guy expressed his opinion, albeit crass, stupid, and not very classy, over open air waves. The FCC didn't have an issue with it. Hell, we all laughed and enjoyed Howard Stern and the FCC totally hated him. What's the big deal then?
Personally, what I find ironic is that Al Sharpton, who is the biggest racists bigot there is, has himself NEVER appologized for any of his misdoings yet he is always the first to "demand" things when something like this goes down. He is a terrible example of the Black community and the more the Black community embraces his racist rantings the worse they are making themselves look.
The guy made a stupid remark over an open mic, big deal. Let's have Congressional hearings and ask for Reparations everytime Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson say something racist or detrimental or stupid about another race.....wait, that would tie up Congress and bankrupt the gov't......
Personally, I'm sick of hearing from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Both claim to be "Reverends", yet they always seem to embark on crusades where they NEVER want to forgive or turn the other cheek like the Bible they tuck under their arm says a good Christian person should. Why is that? They're showmen. They show boat for cameras and stir the pot of controversy every where they go. Their purpose is far from preaching the gospel, it is to primp and prance in front of the cameras for their own ego stroking.
How come Al Sharpton has NEVER appologized for NATIONALLY blaming an INNOCENT man in the Tawana Brawley case? It was all twisted around into a racial thing by whom??? AL SHARPTON. He help publish pictures of an alleged hate crime and publicly named who HE thought was responsible, only to later find out the whole story was made up. When did he appologize for that? NEVER. Yet he is always the first to demand appologies from everyone HE thinks committed an act of racism. What did HE commit when he blamed an INNOCENT person on National TV???? Hmmm, funny how that works.
Al Sharpton is a loser that simply starves for attention. Al Sharpton should most definetly KNOW about NAPPY hair..........maybe he's just insecure about that????

I just feel that people like Sharpton and Jackson are about as useless as tits on a hog. Seriously. What good do they do? Have they showcased their community, their heritage, their roots, their thoughts in a POSITIVE manner? Hell no! They only get involved when the cameras are on and there is something NEGATIVE going on. How is that productive?
You have two individuals that have show boated for years in front of NATIONAL TV spewing out even more hate and more division than even the situation that they are blabbering about. So in other words they are making matters WORSE than they were to begin with. How's that productive? I mean, to complain about an injustice is one thing. To complain about everything and twisting it around to LOOK like something it's not is a completely different matter. THAT is what Sharpton and Jackson are masters at. Twisting the truth into a shape they know will play right into people's insecurities and beliefs. They are truly race pimps. They use the race card every chance they get even when they shouldn't for their own gain. They are no better than any other pimps.

I think Don Imas is a funny man, i listen to his show everytime i ever ride with my dad somewhere because we both enjoy it together. He really is a good guy who has a ranch out in the southwest for kids with cancer who can go and forget about their worries and just be kids.
Being rude and crass is apart of his routine, he likes to stir up shit and it looks like he accomplished that. As Jaime said, if its not true why get bent out of shape about it, nappy hair isn't racist, its describing their hair texture lol. Its mean no doubt about it, but he is a radio talk personality, get over it.
If you are going to get bent out of shape over this because a white man said something conceived as racist, then please proceed to arrest men like jessie jackson and al sharpton who say some of the most ignorant and racist things out there but get away with it because they are of a minority.
yet again, props to you for getting here first to say it jaime
i agree 100%

				I am just saying it was uncalled for by anyone no matter who i was
 
 
				I think much of it is being fueled by the biggest bigots in America, Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. Many of you may not remember Jessie Jackson's remarks about New York being "Haime Town", a derogatory reference to Jews. The ignorance of Al Sharpton when he was interviewing Don Imus yesterday is just ridiculous. I don't agree with what Imus said, especially about a group of young ladies regardless of color. He said something in the flow of banter that he will regret from now on. He will from now on wear a "scarlet letter" of sorts. I wish he did not try to justify things, saying how his retreat for sick kids had 10% black kids or say that he had black friends. He can not justify his way out of anything. He just needs to apologize, and take his whipping and let it be. It sickens me the current media situation. We have soldiers dying, underhanded things happening in our government, and many of very worthwhile stories happening, and all we get to hear about is FUCKING DON IMUS AND ANNA NICOLE SMITH's slutty ass and who her baby daddy is. I DON"T GIVE 2 shits about either one and what is happening with them. I do not believe either of those two situations deserve a national debate. My .02 rant.
 
 
				Good point.Originally Posted by 99SI
I also remember when Al Sharpton, the same Al Sharpton that is demanding things right now, incited a riot that KILLED people when he claimed that a "jewish ambulance" wouldn't treat a young black man after an accident with "jewish" person.
Ummm, HUH????
Since when are there ambulances that say on the side "jewish ambulance"???? Only in Al Sharpton's world maybe.
Where was his appology for that riot that ensued and people DIED???? Hmmm, funny how nobody called for HIM to appologize to anyone.
BTW, how many times a day do we not hear far worse in song lyrics from rappers and hip-hop "artists" on the radio???? Why is it that if one person says "ho's" it's "racist", yet when another uses the same word or even far worse it's "OK" and "cool" and it makes people filthy rich famous????
I'm sick of seeing and hearing the double standard.
 
 
				Enough said. All that shit was said in humor, if your offended by it go jump off the f'en bridge. I'm tired of all the PC bullshit in the US these days. If people wanted to protest it, simply turn off the tv and radio.Originally Posted by 99SI
btw, Imus didn't make the comment "gigabos", his co host did.

				He did say jiggaboos lol
 
 
				Don't be a nappy headed hoe and you won't be called one. What is the problem? Its not like he called the nappy headed N***ers or something.
This is my problem with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

What the whole big hoopla is about is that he made a comment about the Rutgers women's basketball team looking like a bunch of nappy headed ho's because they were rough looking.
I don't know about yall, but girl basketball players with tattoos aren't exactly the poster child for femeninity. I haven't seen the pics myself, but I'm willing to be that some of them do in fact look pretty rough and tumble. Right?
