Imus just lost his show

[Lucky DAWG]

CNBC just dropped him, this is the most ridiculous shit i have ever heard, he made a comment about a team with white and black girls on the team and it gets blown out of preportion when much worse is said everyday.

I can't believe that the news station sunk down to the level of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton and actually let their bigotry and moronic beliefs get to them. I still hope that Imus can get funding for his ranch out west for all of those kids that have cancer, he really is a good guy who made a dumb comment.

I enjoyed his show too, fuck the people who blew this out of preportion, you should be ashamed for wasting air time and tax dollars, they were about to have a congressional hearing on this or something i heard

[Julio]

Someone will offer him a deal in no time..

[Kamikaze]

LOL

If he ever gets another job, maybe he'll think twice about making such dumbass comments.

[Lucky DAWG]

LOL

If he ever gets another job, maybe he'll think twice about making such dumbass comments.

tell that to hundreds of other rappers, talk show hosts, and political leaders who say worse every hour on the hour

if you actually listened to his show you would see that hes a good guy

dumbass comment(s)?

you mean one bad comment that wasn't racist what so ever

[Lucky DAWG]

Someone will offer him a deal in no time..

i hope so

was that really called for?

[Lucky DAWG]

was that really called for?

yea


they are idiots who say racist things all the time

they hurt the black movement rather then help it, they focus on stupid things like this as publicity stunts to get them in the spotlight rather then focusing on real issues that are hurting african americans

read wut jaime said in the other thread about Imus, he laid it out perfectly

[rolling_trip]

was that really called for?

yep x 2

This just shows that the bastards at NBC have no backbone to speak of. It sucks that one comment, reguardsless of what was said, can end a career. No one looks at what good he has done, rather a simple "F'up". Maybe he will find his way over to XM, or maybe even Fox News.

[Lucky DAWG]

someone is going to let him back
their stock relied on him too much, and its gonna take a big hit without him

the rich baestards will stiffen up their backbones as soon as their pockets get hit

[bigdare23]

if you say so..............

[Kamikaze]

you mean one bad comment that wasn't racist what so ever

I'd expect you to say that since it wasn't directed towards your race. Come on, "nappy" is slang that originated in the Black community. Now if the majority of the team wasn't Black, then you might have a point. But saying that his comment wasn't racist is just naive.

[Lucky DAWG]

if you say so..............

i do
you don't know what you're talking about man, sorry

i'm gonna quote jamie's comment, hope you don't mine dude





I heard some very interesting things yesterday on the radio and news shows:

Quote:
How come Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are so quick to jump on this issue, but they neglect the much more serious issues affecting the "black community". How about the 50% drop out rate in inner city high schools or how about 80% of people incarcerated in the US are black. How come domestically African Americans have the highest pregnancy rate under the age of 20, highest illegitamacy rate, etc etc etc.


The guy that said this was:
Larry Elder



He makes very good points, why do Sharpton and Jackson try to champion this incident like its the biggest thing since david duke. Why is this issue getting SO MUCH attention, is it REALLY that bad for race relations? is it really as bad as everyone is making it out to seem?

If they are such champions of the black community, where are they on the issues that MATTER like the ones listed above. Surely calling someone a "nappy headed ho" is not in the same league as the SCARY statistics listed above.

How come other people are allowed to get away with MUCH WORSE, like this comment Hilary Clinton made recently:

Isnt this Racist?

how come that never got any attention? where were people when she made that comment?

[Lucky DAWG]

it refers to hair...................
and yea there are white girls on the team

and white people can have nappy hair too, so what are you talking about

[koukis14]

was that really called for?

Yes x3

Those assholes are just making it worse for everyone. They take these "bad" situations and remind everyone over and over again that hey happened. The only reason they "care" is to make themselves even more popular(rich).

["B"]

For the record:

B still loves nappy headed hos!!!

[Kamikaze]

Notice I said majority. I'm well aware that there are white girls on the team.

[Eurostunna07]

hell ya that dumb racist, conservative douche bag left.

["B"]

It wouldn't have mattered if they were all black girls.


"Nappy headed hos" is not a racist comment.

[TIGERJC]

I don't see the problem with the firing. If anyone tarnishes the repuation of a company, they usually let those ppl go. Why isnt it not fair that he got fired, if a regular person made that comment publical they would get fired for it. The man has some money and will be picked up by someone else in no time. I thought that was a good business move by firing him

["B"]

The bigot Al Sharpton is on The O'Reilly Factor right now.

He is such a racist fuck.

His comment shouldn't have been taken as a racist statement. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are a bunch of racist fucks that jump on anythign to make money.

[Wurm]

im going to start calling every girl i know a nappy headed ho..... I already call them all hoe's but i will add to that lirl

[Eurostunna07]

I dislike The O'Reilly show. rather wait for Anderson cooper 360

[Lucky DAWG]

Yes x3

E FUCKIN SACTLY

i'm getting even more worked up about this because some lady is on the tv right now talking about how women are really concerned about their hair and its a sensitive issue, get the hell over it. You are ruining a man's career because you want to get on tv and talk about your hair???

al sharpton is on the o'reilly report right now and they just asked him about the issue of high school dropout for african americans in inner city's.

He addressed it for 3 seconds and said they were doing things about it then completely avoided it and continued to talk about don imus.

Al Sharpton likes seeing himself on TV. period.

["B"]

The only thing Imus did wrong was taking my statement.

["B"]

I dislike The O'Reilly show. rather wait for Anderson cooper 360

Of course you would, he makes too much sense. Anderson Cooper isn't bad, but he doesn't tell it how it is..

[Lucky DAWG]

say that again after you watch their stock the following days

[rolling_trip]

I think you are wrong there. If Joe Blow would have said that, then no one would have given a shit. Its because he is a public figure that moron, Al Not-to-Sharp, went on a crusade.

BTW, I'm still waiting for an answer to the question about the real problems that face the black community.

[tony]

All I have to say is.. know the consequences of your actions. Regardless of it being right or wrong it was offensive and oh yeah.. there are decision makers out there in companies that buy air time who are BLACK, I guess he didn't realize that. Times have changed..

Personally I like this.. the government kept their nose out of it and the market made the decision. These companies pay for airtime on your show so they have the right to pull their advertisements when they do not agree. It was wrong to say and he's suffering the consequences.. I have zero sympathy

[Kamikaze]

His comment shouldn't have been taken as a racist statement. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are a bunch of racist fucks that jump on anythign to make money.

Not that I fully support Jesse or Al, but I'm curious as to how you think they're being paid for bringing attention to an issue?

[Marta Mike]

1. You say his remarks were not racist.

2. You noticeably and continually take shots at two specific black "leaders" if they are called that, because I dont care for either of them. Yes im black.

3. There were many more other than J.J. and Al S. not only against but fighting that what he said was wrong.

Now lets see the remark was not racist..correct? Nappy headed. Now i wouldnt say a white person saying that is racist its more so........ummm........idiotic? Moronic? More so just simply disrespectful. "Nappy headed" is simply and easily directed towards black people. By him saying that does it make him a racist? No. By him saying it for millions to hear does it make him a racist? No. It simply reveals his lack of character and respect for a different cultural background. Ignorance.....so i guess that makes him a nigger? Correct?

The actions and publicity that have arisen from this small act of ignorance I believe are unfair and unnecessary. Of course the word would have gotten out about what he said and eventually he would pay in one way or another for his actions. People make mistakes, shit happens. He simply could have been trying to maybe be funny and didnt realize how much of an impact saying what he said would have? I dunno. So what is it, does he not care about or respect others? Or did he just not know what he was saying was wrong? No one knows but him. So in that respect all you can do is let him go on and be. If you dont like what he said dont support him. Simple as that.

Hell yeah +1

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to tony again.

[Lucky DAWG]

they get money as a figure head for "the movement" by people in thier community who support their outrageous actions.

the more air time they get and more publicity they put out there, the more donations and hand outs they will get from people who like what they are doing

[Lucky DAWG]

your first paragraph made zero sense

the second did, just don't listen to him if you don't like it. If the people bitching at him actually knew about him they would know that he gives a lot of money to charities and he doesn't do it as a publicity stunt to try and make himself look better.

white people can have nappy hair too, so explain to me how its racist

and i keep picking on Al and Jessie because they are the two morons who stick their necks out the furthest

HAHAHAHAHA I hate cunts. Nappy headed cunts that is.

["B"]

Because it brings attention onto them. More attention equals more money for their "non-profit" agency.

"Oh look, Al is at it again sticking up for them nappy ass hos. Let's send him more money".

If a black radio personality would have called them nappy headed hos would we be having this conversation?

I just jumped on Killer and Kelly for being racists today. What Imus did was stupid, not racist.

i wish i could get on there and tell it like it is to Sharpton

I thought it was pretty clear but in a nutshell he got what was coming to him.
