Imus just lost his show

[Kamikaze]

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

You mean their groupies?

It's funny how people always think that Al and Jess are the only representatives for the Black community. They haven't been real spokesmen since the 60s. I would think by now you all would have taken note that even their own people don't half listen to them. Ever see the movie Barbershop? Remember what Cedric said?

[Lucky DAWG]

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

are you saying this because you actually listen to his show?
because you obviously thought wrong

if you really feel this way, please continue to say the same things about a large portion of modern day entertainers such as rappers

ofcourse they're not the ones making actual decisions
but when you give them air time you are feeding the monster.

they should put on people who actually want to make changes for the black community

1. You say his remarks were not racist.

It wasn't racist, it was stupid. If I were the girls I would be more pissed about the "ho" part. there were white girls on that team to. He didn't point out a few black girls and call them nappy headed hos.

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.

They are the two most vocal and visual people there. This isn't the first time they have "jumped at the chance" to turn something into a big spectacle. Remember when the Duke case first started? They "jumped at that opportunity to attack the white kids. Look what happened, charges dropped. Apologies from Sharpton or Jackson? Nope.

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?

Wait, so you are saying that all "niggers" are ignorant?

So when a rapper or any other black person calls another black person a "nigga" they are calling their friends and family ignorant?

White people get laughed at because we use the words "dude" or "bro". Isn't it funny that we don't downgrade ourselves?

Who's racist now?

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.

The people who should be mad at Imus are the women's lib groups.

Exactly, its ignorance feeding ignorance. Blacks who can think for theirself laugh at Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, its the media who continues to throw a mic in their face and broadcast their every move.. and as long as they can piss people like lucky sc off they will continue to get attention. Personally I could care less for either one, they do not make a difference .. but that is just me.

[TheSnail]

A bit off topic but is Al Sharpton fat or something? Because when I hear him on 102.5 all I hear is heavy breathing.

point fingers at the people who want to give them money
don't you point fingers at me bud

Well, he's nowhere near the category of "thin" if that's what you're asking.

Actually I said some things yesterday

I guess I am fed up with being grouped into the majority of blacks who complain about what white people do but turn my back to real issues within the black community such as black on black crime or the lack of education in the community. Not all of us think like that, its just the ones who do seem to get all of the attention.

Read and dissect again buddy. As far as nigger and nigga, im not gonna explain something you dont, cant, and will not culturally understand. You can tear down anything i have to say and make it wont you want, as i can to you. The last paragraph says what it pretty much came down to. Ive said what i had to say and im done.

[Lucky DAWG]

Actually I said some things yesterday

good then don't talk about it like it was a racist comment

if you want to let someone get pissed
let feminist groups

[Ltdnismorace]

Do you guys get Lex and Terry on the radio down there? This morning they were talking about this on their show and the black dude on their show who goes by the name "D" said it best. The dad on the jeffersons show called white people honkies the entire run of their show all the time but nobody jumped his shit, but put it in reverse and shit hits the fan. I am by no means a racist person, I have friends of every color and creed, but I am also an advocate of freedom of speech and the right of every person to have their opinion. What Imus said was not a good judgement call, but we all make poor decisions every day.

Wait, so you were around during the days of slavery?

You can understand it but I can't? Is that because I am white?

[tony]

point fingers at the people who want to give them money
don't you point fingers at me bud

But why are people willing to give them money? Because they can strike a chord with people such as yourself and get media attention. Think about it, would he really get donations if he did not get any attention at all?

Trust me, in my eyes Al Sharpton is counterproductive for the future of blacks in this country. If we never heard from him again would the black community be in shambles? No.. it would probably be better off.

[Kamikaze]

good then don't talk about it like it was a racist comment

What he said may not have been racist in intent, but it still singled out a particular feature that is mostly specific to the Black race. And as far as white people having nappy hair, I bet you don't even know what real "naps" are LOL.

[Maniaç]

...... no comment.

[rolling_trip]

...... no comment.

lol, then why even post?

so true

i'm no racist, i would rather the black community be better off
racism is in division which people like sharpton advocate

we should be treated the same which means no affirmative action or anything of that sort.

If you read my posts you'd see I said nothing about racism and everything about being offensive. If you have advertisers on your show who pride their company on the diversity of their employees and their customer base then a really really dumb move would be to go out and offend those people. Was it racist? No Stupid? Absolutely and as I said before he is finding that out the hard way.

["B"]

But did he single out blacks in particular? There were white girls there too.

[jaystar]

i think he should of never said nappy headed hoes that jus not right to say he should not of said it or atleast thought about it

[Maniaç]

lol, then why even post?

haha, just a random post. thats all

[Tracy]

I think that it is the comapnies decision to fire him if he isn't portraying the image they expect. I don't think it should go to a congressional hearing tho. So the good news to me is that it was a company decision.

Good post, I believe we all think it was a stupid comment.

[06SilverBullet]

Me Personally...I am glad that he got booted...I really never liked him anyways...That comment was way out of line...

true, they were about to waste our tax dollars on this bullshit
the company will realize it was stupid when their profits go down though... they'll have to build up a consumer base for whoever they replace him with.

i'm off to do some hw though

[Evil Goat]

lots of racist people in the world, al sharpton, imus, charles barkley, rush, etc etc

but isnt it ironic that only the black guys can get away w/ such stupidity?

p.s. wasnt it sharpton (maybe not, been a while since i heard this) that offered that black slut of a stripper who accused the duke lacrosse team, who btw had all of their charges dropped today, a college scholarship? but ill bet anything that the prosecution wont pursue false allegations charges on that nappy headed hoe....why? b/c shes black....wouldnt want to piss the adultering jesse jackson off now would we?

Yes, I brought that up already, but no one wanted to respond to that comment.

sorry for the repost....didnt really read the thread before responding...nice to see someone else paying attention to the stupidity of these people though

[Kamikaze]

Once again, who gives a fuck about Al Sharpton? Find something else to talk about and no I don't mean Jesse.

[tony]

I think that is because everyone agrees that Al Sharpton = Idiot. Its hard for me to take a dude who walks around with a perm seriously anyway.

you must be black.....its okay though, as a white male im used to being pushed around by political correctness, while walking around on egg shells around free talking minorities, minorities who can say whatever they want b/c they have no fear of being reprimanded....b/c if they are theyll just play the almighty race card


we can talk about charles barkley if youd like...hes right up there at the top w/ the rest of the bigotry brigade

[AirMax95]

But did he single out blacks in particular? There were white girls there too.

People keep trying to justify the reamark by saying that "there were white girls there too"

That is very true, but did any one hear Imus tie in Spike Lee to the remark. No one here has brought that up. I do not have the exact quote, but it was along the lines of "It's like a Spike Lee Joint out there", then his co-host threw in the "jiggaboo" line.

Radio show host alot of times discuss what they are going to say on the cast before they air........I FEEL THIS WAS SCRIPTED FOR REACTION BY THE LISTENERS, HE GOT A REACTION FROM THEM, AND THE SHOW....dropped

He is an ignorant person for saying it, and the co-host....


I am still debating on how to call his comment, but either racist or ignorant, it should not have been said.......he offened the team and the school community

[Kamikaze]

And your point is? I personally don't play the "race card" because I see it as a cop-out. I'd rather hurt and/or belittle people in other ways.

Fuck that. I grew up in California where I WAS THE MINORITY. There weren't many white people in my school.

Most "minorities" don't know how it really feels to be the "hated minority". Hence the reason why I get pissed off at racist and people pulling the race card too quickly.

[Evil Goat]

im right there with everyone else, for the most part, it was an ignorant slip up....do i really care? no...imus is a shock jock, this is what he does for a living.....it should be expected....the only reason he lost his show is b/c sponsors are starting to back out...if the sponsors stay the show stays...simple as that

Sadly, Sharpton has followers of all races. He is a very educated man with a strong and wild opinion, GOOD and BAD....

But it takes an educated person to filter the BS that he sometimes rides on.....
