Imus just lost his show

[Jaimecbr900]

oOoOoOo BURN! Not. Yet another feeble attempt to try and insult me with "class" lol. You're really just making yourself look like you can't come up with a meaningful response so you use a little crass remark instead. Grow up.

Feeble? Not hardly. You say that I'm not making any responses, yet you have something to say right back to me everytime. Did I hit a nerve? Good.

Now answer the damn questions you yourself were blubbering about 10 pgs ago. Name your so called positive Black community leaders. If you don't want to claim the bad ones, which ones DO you claim? Let's start there.

Either step up to the plate or get off the field. You put it out there, but now can't back it up. Typical.

He got what his employers thought was a proper punishment. Would I have done the same? Probably not. But my name isn't MSNBC.

All he got was the backlash of a media feeding frenzy. Had he been Black, he'd still have a job. Had Al and all his cronies not ran off with the bait, he'd still have his job. So therefore, it wasn't the "market" that determined anything. It was the media frenzy and the political correctness that got him fired. If you think that's cool, good for you. I don't.

I'd probably be angry at first but I'd eventually get over it and move on. It's not the end of the world and I'm sure he knows that.

Why be angry? Didn't you just state above that his employer make that decision? Then if YOUR employer made the same decision YOU would be "ok" with it and go home with your tail tucked between your legs and not say anything???? Doubt it.

Remember this all happened over SPOKEN WORDS. What the hell ever happened to "sticks and stones..."???? Do we live in a society now where NOONE'S feelings can EVER get hurt or they'll sue or call the NAACP or ACLU or their Congressman to restore those precious "feelings"? And you say that I need to grow up???

If it's a battle of wits you want, I'm always game.

Ball's in your court.

Like I said above, I don't know if he was trying to be racist or not. At first I perceived it that way, but then I gave it some thought. He said something stupid, the wrong people heard it and it backfired.

Amen. Now why do we have to have jackass central, the media, people losing jobs, and 5 days worth of front page news about it?? Why? THAT is exactly my point. All the other stuff is menucia, wall covering, smoke and mirrors. The bottomline is that this wasn't that big a deal to begin with and it got blown out of proportion into something that it never was, racist.

Let me ask you something. What if an Asian man walked up to your yellow car and said that he was "offended" by the color of your car because it just went to show that you thought he was inferior to you? What if you told him to fuck off, as you should, and then he sued you? What if the Asian Mafia League for the advancement of Oriental people only came and had a news conference naming YOU as a racist and demanded an appology and for you to lose your job? Would you still be "cool" with that? Would you think that was fair? Would you think that would shine a positive light onto the Asian community???? How is that any different than this? Something small got blown out of proportion when someone spun it to something it was never intended and shouldn't have.

If that's how you define riding the fence, by living in reality, then whatever. You can think that if you want. I won't lose any sleep over it.

I didn't say that to make you lose sleep. I posted it to prove you wrong. It served it's purpose since that's the best rebuttal you can come back with.

Don't give me that bullshit. Racism defined:

A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Where did I say I was better than someone else? That's right. I didn't. All I did was point out how life REALLY is. But yet you go and twist words again, like you did to Airmax, to make you seem like the good guy.

Wrong again.

YOU said that "reality" was that when "shit hit the fan" REGARDLESS of who is right or wrong, "people" always choose to back up "their own kind". Did YOU not say that????

Let's see, I'm going to quote you word for word for accuracy. YOU said:

" In our town we know that when the shit hits the fan, we're gonna side with our own people even if they're wrong. Is it right? No. Is it fair? No. But shit, neither is life. "


HMMMMM, who exactly is YOUR "own people"???

So let's review, shall we?

YOU said that "when the shit hits the fan" YOU will side with "your own people" even if they are "wrong" just because why exactly????? Is it because you like being wrong? Or maybe its that you feel "YOUR OWN" is somehow entitled to your support no matter what because they are "like you"???? And that is NOT being racist because "your own people" in your language refers to someone of a DIFFERENT race? Maybe, but I'm willing to bet not.

So to review you seem to think that you should back up someone eventhough you think they're wrong simply because they are "like you"????? And "like you" in YOUR world means......hmmm....I'll take a stab in the dark and say......same COLOR as you? Maybe same RACE as you? Maybe?

Hmmmmm, that is sooooo far off the DEFINITION of RACISTS that I don't know how anyone could EVER think that is the most racist comment in this thread so far.

You know what you look like right now? Just like a white guy backpedalling and stumbling all over their tongue telling people he's NOT racist because he has 2 Black friends that came over to his house one time.

Whatever. You want to argue with me over something that in essence we agree should of never gotten to this point, yet there it is. TV stations fired him, radio stations fired him, he's labeled a racist for the rest of his life.....all over two simple words; "nappy" and "ho's".

The "ho's" part I can understand, but the nappy part is like telling someone you don't like the color of their shirt. WHO CARES??? I like it, so I wear it. Are they REALLY nappy headed ho's???? If not, why are you so up in arms about someone calling you something YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT???? He's the one that looks retarded. All they had to do was come on TV one day and said, "you know what? I'm a PHD in Astrophysics with a minor in Internal Medicine. YOU sir are an idiot for calling me something I'm not. I'm 10x's as smart as you will ever be, and now EVERYONE knows that. Have a good life...the last couple of years you have left!!!". The end.

Not only would they have shown class and beat him at his own game, but they would have spun a completely positive perception of Black community to boot. Win, Win situation and it wasn't even all that hard. Argue with me on that too.

[Jaimecbr900]

It's ironic, but I stand corrected. Not totally, but partly.

It seems Al Sharpton is not as dumb as I once thought. Don't know if this is going to work, but I'll try. This link contains a video of a news conference he held in front of CBS today. In it he says exactly what I've been saying all along. EVERYBODY, REGARDLESS OF COLOR, needs to quit using derrogatory terms towards others. I'm sure he'll put his foot in his mouth soon enough, but we'll see. He did prove one of my theories correct though. He admitted this had nothing to do with Imus alone, the bigger picture was "racism". Again, he needs a dictionary to look up what racism is in another world but his.

Either way, enjoy.

Either step up to the plate or get off the field. You put it out there, but now can't back it up. Typical.

I'm sorry, I don't get excited over something someone says on the internet. I' have better things to use my energy on.

The people I consider leaders are not famous or wealthy. They don't get on TV and whoop and holler about things that really don't matter. Since there's no "movement" anymore, there isn't a specific leader of the Black community. There's still a lot of work to be done but I don't think it's fair to dump the responsibility on a few set people. It's up to the community to do what needs to be done in order to achieve their goal(s).

Does that answer your damn question?

All he got was the backlash of a media feeding frenzy. Had he been Black, he'd still have a job. Had Al and all his cronies not ran off with the bait, he'd still have his job. So therefore, it wasn't the "market" that determined anything. It was the media frenzy and the political correctness that got him fired. If you think that's cool, good for you. I don't.

No shit. I said pretty much the exact same thing I believe in my first response to this whole Imus drama.

Why be angry? Didn't you just state above that his employer make that decision? Then if YOUR employer made the same decision YOU would be "ok" with it and go home with your tail tucked between your legs and not say anything???? Doubt it.

If I was angry, don't you think I would say something? Just because I said I would get over it doesn't mean I wouldn't let as many people as possible know how I felt about the situation.

Do we live in a society now where NOONE'S feelings can EVER get hurt or they'll sue or call the NAACP or ACLU or their Congressman to restore those precious "feelings"? And you say that I need to grow up???

You act like I really give a shit. Hell, he wasn't talking to me. I didn't fire him. I don't play for the Rutgers. By next week I will probably have forgotten all about it.

And yes, you do need to grow up. You remind me of a child that's done something wrong even though his parents told him not to. Now he's trying to twist their words around so he can get out of trouble. That's all you do.

Let me ask you something. What if an Asian man walked up to your yellow car and said that he was "offended" by the color of your car because it just went to show that you thought he was inferior to you? What if you told him to fuck off, as you should, and then he sued you? What if the Asian Mafia League for the advancement of Oriental people only came and had a news conference naming YOU as a racist and demanded an appology and for you to lose your job?

Something small got blown out of proportion when someone spun it to something it was never intended and shouldn't have.

But I like Asian people.

I didn't say that to make you lose sleep. I posted it to prove you wrong. It served it's purpose since that's the best rebuttal you can come back with.

Ok, Mr. Know-it-all. Everyone abandon your opinions and listen to this guy because he is the All Knowing. We must bow down and show reverence.

Wrong again.

YOU said that "reality" was that when "shit hit the fan" REGARDLESS of who is right or wrong, "people" always choose to back up "their own kind". Did YOU not say that????

Of course I said it. Why? Because it's true and you know it.

HMMMMM, who exactly is YOUR "own people"???

So let's review, shall we?

YOU said that "when the shit hits the fan" YOU will side with "your own people" even if they are "wrong" just because why exactly????? Is it because you like being wrong? Or maybe its that you feel "YOUR OWN" is somehow entitled to your support no matter what because they are "like you"???? And that is NOT being racist because "your own people" in your language refers to someone of a DIFFERENT race? Maybe, but I'm willing to bet not.

I was trying to give you an insight into how the world really operates, but I see that went over your head. Maybe I shouldn't have used pronouns because I really wasn't including my self when I said "we" or "our". I was trying to speak from a third-person point of view. Do you get it? Or do I need to make up a new scenario?

Hmmmmm, that is sooooo far off the DEFINITION of RACISTS that I don't know how anyone could EVER think that is the most racist comment in this thread so far.

You know what you look like right now? Just like a white guy backpedalling and stumbling all over their tongue telling people he's NOT racist because he has 2 Black friends that came over to his house one time.

You don't know me or the people I associate with. My friends are made up of almost every general ethnic background. I do not need to prove to someone in my life as insignificant as you that I'm not racist.

Whatever. You want to argue with me over something that in essence we agree should of never gotten to this point, yet there it is. TV stations fired him, radio stations fired him, he's labeled a racist for the rest of his life.....all over two simple words; "nappy" and "ho's".

Dude, if you want answers to those questions or if you want to give advice, talk to the people involved in the incident.

[AirMax95]

Bottom Line......

He should have thought backwards! I bet then he would not have said it.

He was exposed on something negative that he said, racist or not, it was offensive. Society did not like it, which affects the sponsors, who dropped his ass.........

GO TEAM GO!!!!!

I watched Larry King last night and a very good point was made. As a radio personality in a professional work place, he is expected to hold up his professionalism. I work in a satellite office, very tight knit gorup. If something anywhere near offensive was said, I guarantee that person would disciplined or be let go, quick! If I were the one on the chopping block, I would dispute, wait for an outcome and move on!

Imus knows he was wrong, he just did not think it would go as far as it did....

[Jaimecbr900]

I'm sorry, I don't get excited over something someone says on the internet. I' have better things to use my energy on.

Yep, it seems like it.

The people I consider leaders are not famous or wealthy. They don't get on TV and whoop and holler about things that really don't matter. Since there's no "movement" anymore, there isn't a specific leader of the Black community.

So they are "leaders" in your own mind....got it.

I guess maybe you should probably take back what you said about there being "other" Black leaders out there then.

You put it out there and when I questioned you on it you folded. That's the bottom line. Deal with it.

There's still a lot of work to be done but I don't think it's fair to dump the responsibility on a few set people. It's up to the community to do what needs to be done in order to achieve their goal(s).

Nobody is dumping anything onto anyone. You step up to the mic and claim to be offended and claim to represent the "minority" and claim this and claim that whining and complaining all the way.....then it's on YOU because noone forced you to step up to the mic. If you can't handle it, then STFU. Simple. So if someone....Obama, Shirley girl, Al, Jesse, Tito, Michael....whomever steps up and speaks to a public audience on behalf of anyone else or as a representative of anyone else they are acting as a "leader". If they look like idiots doing it, that's on them. Don't come back now and say it's not fair to put it on their shoulders because it was THEY that stepped up to the mic. "They" have no problems soaking up the limelight when it's good, right? Then suck it up when people don't like what you say too.

Does that answer your damn question?

Yeah, you said you didn't want to name any "leaders", probably because you spoke too soon and didn't think anyone would call you on it. I got that answer, but I already knew that one. That took care of #1.

#2. You did answer, although it didn't seem like an honest answer.
#3. You did look up the definition of racist.
#4. You have not answered.
#5. You have not answered.
#6. You have not answered.
#7. You did answer with your famous, "....my people follow blindly even when we know someone is wrong just because we's stick together for no other reason than the color of our skin..." Yep, you answered that one alright.
#8. Was not really a question, it was a rhetorical comment. No answer needed.

Does THAT answer YOUR question?

If I was angry, don't you think I would say something? Just because I said I would get over it doesn't mean I wouldn't let as many people as possible know how I felt about the situation.

Again, why would you be angry? In Imus' situation you seem to agree that he got what he deserved, right? How is that different from my analogy? You work somewhere, say something some queer thinks is derrogatory yet YOU didn't think it was that big of a deal, he comes in to complain, and your work fires you. Is that getting what YOU deserve? You'd "get over it" because you have NO choice. You "move on" because you have NO choice. Neither one make it right. Neither one helps to put food on the table for YOUR family. All the while, the queer that complained goes about his merry way spreading ferry dust everywhere.

You wanna tell me again how THAT is fair???

And yes, you do need to grow up. You remind me of a child that's done something wrong even though his parents told him not to. Now he's trying to twist their words around so he can get out of trouble. That's all you do.

And you remind me of a child that's spoken out of turn at the dinner table. When you get called out by your own words, now you back pedal. How typical. Just because I used your own bullets against you, don't be mad at me. Next time shoot better bullets.

But I like Asian people.

I do too.

Ok, Mr. Know-it-all. Everyone abandon your opinions and listen to this guy because he is the All Knowing. We must bow down and show reverence.

See, if you would've said that in the beginning we would've gotten along just fine.

Of course I said it. Why? Because it's true and you know it.

Truth and right aren't always in sync.

You merely confirmed exactly what I and many others here have said a gazillion times. People follow others blindly simply because of the color of their skin. That is moronic and stupid, period. You wanna justify it and wanna come up with excuses for it, be my guest. That exact attitude of sweeping things under the rug as if you can't do anything about it so you'll let it slide is the reason why racial relations in this country have never moved forward at the pace they should have. We are in the 21st Century. We are no longer living in the age of June Clever. We live in a completely different world today, yet we still have the black vs. white vs. everyone issue just like we did in the 50's. Not much has changed. THAT is what is a shame. The world has moved into the 21st Century, yet we still have obvious retarded dealings when it comes to racial relations. Why is that? Largely in part to do with that moo cow mentality of let's just follow the cow in front of us because it looks just like me........

Keep thinking that's "ok" because that makes perfect sense to think that way.

I was trying to give you an insight into how the world really operates, but I see that went over your head. Maybe I shouldn't have used pronouns because I really wasn't including my self when I said "we" or "our". I was trying to speak from a third-person point of view. Do you get it? Or do I need to make up a new scenario?

I've lived more and seen more in my life than you will ever fathom. I've both lived and seen REAL poverty, the kind of poverty you see on TV in third world countries. I've gone hungry. I've gone with "holy" shoes. I've had to boil water for a warm bath. So don't sit there and think you have a clue as to what I'm about. I just don't believe in bullshit excuses. Lace up your boots, wade thru the shit, and get to where you wanna go. Excuses are for people that want to justify their failures.

So if you think that because I don't agree with your "insight to reality" that means I'm not aware of what that reality is, you're sadly mistaken. I see the bullshit of reality everyday. Doesn't change the fact that its bullshit. The longer people sit there and coddle it and excuse it, the longer it will remain.

You don't know me or the people I associate with. My friends are made up of almost every general ethnic background. I do not need to prove to someone in my life as insignificant as you that I'm not racist.

Didn't I tell you in my previous post that this is exactly what racist people do often to justify they are NOT "racist"???

[Jaimecbr900]

Imus knows he was wrong, he just did not think it would go as far as it did....

Surprisingly, I agree with that. I stand corrected. I had you pegged as one of those moo cows blindly following the herd. Maybe I was wrong.

[AirMax95]

Surprisingly, I agree with that. I stand corrected. I had you pegged as one of those moo cows blindly following the herd. Maybe I was wrong.

Ha, suprisingly? I just feel that you can defend certain actions of an individual, without supporting them in their entirety.

Anyway, the man upstairs gets the final call

Yep, it seems like it.

Quite the contrary. The only time I respond to your jibberish is when I have nothing better to do.

So they are "leaders" in your own mind....got it.

I guess maybe you should probably take back what you said about there being "other" Black leaders out there then.

You put it out there and when I questioned you on it you folded. That's the bottom line. Deal with it.

Don't put words in my mouth. I said a true leader needs to step up. And obviously if there's room for someone to "step up", then the position must be vacant.

Nobody is dumping anything onto anyone. You step up to the mic and claim to be offended and claim to represent the "minority" and claim this and claim that whining and complaining all the way.....then it's on YOU because noone forced you to step up to the mic. If you can't handle it, then STFU. Simple.

WTF are you talking about?

So if someone....Obama, Shirley girl, Al, Jesse, Tito, Michael....whomever steps up and speaks to a public audience on behalf of anyone else or as a representative of anyone else they are acting as a "leader". If they look like idiots doing it, that's on them. Don't come back now and say it's not fair to put it on their shoulders because it was THEY that stepped up to the mic.

Good for them.

Yeah, you said you didn't want to name any "leaders", probably because you spoke too soon and didn't think anyone would call you on it. I got that answer, but I already knew that one. That took care of #1.

Answer to this above.

Again, why would you be angry? In Imus' situation you seem to agree that he got what he deserved, right? How is that different from my analogy?

All the while, the queer that complained goes about his merry way spreading ferry dust everywhere.

You wanna tell me again how THAT is fair???

I'm sure Imus is angry, just as I would be if I lost my job. Like I keep repeating, had it been me, I probably wouldn't have fired him over this. But you seem to inadvertently keep skipping over this statement.

And you remind me of a child that's spoken out of turn at the dinner table. When you get called out by your own words, now you back pedal. How typical. Just because I used your own bullets against you, don't be mad at me. Next time shoot better bullets.

No, next time I won't argue with someone who does nothing but twists words with their opinionated babble.

See, if you would've said that in the beginning we would've gotten along just fine.

Good. You know they say admittance is the first step.

Truth and right aren't always in sync.

Never did I say it was right. I said it was the truth, and it is.

You merely confirmed exactly what I and many others here have said a gazillion times. People follow others blindly simply because of the color of their skin. That is moronic and stupid, period. You wanna justify it and wanna come up with excuses for it, be my guest.

Largely in part to do with that moo cow mentality of let's just follow the cow in front of us because it looks just like me........

Sitting here complaining about the state of this country's race relations isn't gonna change anything. It's like a rock, in a way. The rock isn't going to move unless you go and pick it up. This country isn't gonna change until there's an active movement to squash all the beef between the races.

Excuses are for people that want to justify their failures.

I don't use excuses, pal. You get out of life what you put into it.

So if you think that because I don't agree with your "insight to reality" that means I'm not aware of what that reality is, you're sadly mistaken. I see the bullshit of reality everyday. Doesn't change the fact that its bullshit. The longer people sit there and coddle it and excuse it, the longer it will remain.

Just as I didn't know that about you, YOU DON'T KNOW ME. And if I offended you, I'm man enough to apologize. So stop trying to judge someone YOU DO NOT KNOW.

Didn't I tell you in my previous post that this is exactly what racist people do often to justify they are NOT "racist"???

Maybe in your interpretation of the word, but I go by the one that's in the dictionary. Not that I really care what you think anyway.

everyone is offended by everything nowadays. what he said wasn't that bad. ppl love to just blow everything out of proportion. everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon and get on the air so they can get a few minutes of fame. people love drama and love to be outraged. People like Sharpton just use it for publicity.

[tony]

As if womens sports get enough respect already calling them nappy headed hoes isn't all that bad? In the public? Wow, it has nothing to do with race but the statement alone was degrading to women period.. you dont know what they had to deal with to get to where they are or what they have to do to gain respect for their accomplishments.

[Julio]

the battle of the idiots...

Imus is an idiot to say that on radio
Sharpton is a crook
jackson is only opening his mouth when it will benefit him

3 smart man.... so much ignorance.. I seriously do Not know whos more ignorant out of the 3.

Imus is def the best out of the 3 though....

[Julio]

Society did not like it

This is 100% wrong. It sounds like you are talking for everyone..

Some people : Like Sharpton and Jackson jumped with it... and there groupies followed.

A FEW PEOPLE DID NOT LIKE IT. There are EVEN BLACK PEOPLE saying it was dumb and people over reacted to this..
The media only shows what they want..

Lets take race out of the whole equation for a moment. Lets say you had a daughter on that team, you watch her practice day in and day out. You go to all her games and you are proud of her accomplishments. Her and her team worked like hell to make it to the finals and they are rewarded by being called whores. Would it still be no big deal if that was your daughter?

Lets take race out of the whole equation for a moment. Lets say you had a daughter on that team, you watch her practice day in and day out. You go to all her games and you are proud of her accomplishments. Her and her team worked like hell to make it to the finals and they are rewarded by being called whores. Would it still be no big deal if that was your daughter?

i would be like "wow what an asshole". I wouldnt take it to heart. I think that there are a lot more important things for the media and society to focus on than a stupid comment. it has gone way to far. it has caused more harm by being replayed, discussed, and debated on tv, because now his comment has reached everyone instead of just his listeners.

Have you ever really listen to the IMUS show ever? Dude is always making jokes.....

OR Im sure you have watched the Chapelle show.... and He said WORST shit... He was payed what 40.. 50 million to make racist comments...

Is called Ignorance AT ITS BEST.

A white man said it and Here comes Batman and robin ( sharpton and Jackson)...

Anyways....

BTW... How come no one has mentioned how SHARPTON love the jews and how he lost the lawsuit for a few millions and UP TO THIS DATE HE HASNT PAID SHIT... that crook says HE has 0 assets to pay!! hahahah what a joke...

WE NEED SOME REAL BLACK LEADERS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE FUCKING CHARGE.... FUCK SHARPTON AND JACKSON......

[JITB]

everyone is offended by everything nowadays. what he said wasn't that bad. ppl love to just blow everything out of proportion. everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon and get on the air so they can get a few minutes of fame. people love drama and love to be outraged. People like Sharpton just use it for publicity.

thats dumb to say, NOone has the right to tell anyone not to be offended by anything. One thing might not offend u but it might offend someone else. Everyone has something that can be said to them that will just push their buttons. We all do its human nature. noone has the right to tell anyone what and what not to be offended by.

true, but people seem to get offended way to damn easy. everyone always has to be overly-politically correct. what he said wasn't that damn bad. it was dumb and wrong, but come on. i have had much worse things said to me, friends, family, and about my race and taken much less or no offense. i think that the amount of people offended out weighs, by far, the amount damage that a comment like that should cause. it's all just a circus.

im not talkin abou rights, like freedom of speech, but im saying. If some shit goes down with a group of people, some might take offense to it, soem might. '

U got 3 folks white dude - black dude - asian dude

some random guy comes up and starts spitting insults about asians to all 3 of u alls face. it wont bother the black dude or the white dude. It would bother the asian tho.. the black and white dudes have no place to tell the asian dude.."u shouldnt be offended its not that serious". thats basic principle and respect for other people. If someone told me that something made them upset or shit...i may not understand but thats how they feel thats how they feel.

freedom of speech is alive and well, but u still have to deal with the results of your words. jesse jackson/al sharpton have dealt with their mouths the same way as imus is. sharpton/jackson may be ont he news and at conferences...but their credibility and intentions are always questioned and they will always be thought of as big mouth hipocrits because of their past, and form the shti they have say. Just like Imus hes not being put in jail hes not being fined.. hes being fired from a major station. Now if he was facing jailtime than the freedom of speech card can be thrown. But eveyrone has the freedom to say what they want.. but they need to be prepared to face the results of what they say.

i think folks are taking their hatred towards sharpton and jackson out and mixing the girls into it. There not the ones all over the news. They spoke once on tv,and they had a private meeting with Imus and i guess patched it up. If i was on that team that shit wouldnt probrably do shit to me either.. but im not them so i cant downplay it.

No I havent really listened to him, I gave it a few tries and never really got into him.


Yes Ive watched Chapelle Show. And Im aware he gets away with racism


Sharpton and Jackson are a joke. They wait with baited breath for any thing remotely resembling a a racist comment, so they can get themselves back out in front of the cameras.


I am not saying his comment was racist or wasnt racist. What I was saying is that if I had a daughter and somebody on the radio called her a whore I would be pissed. It would "not be no big deal". Would I sue the radio station, no. Would I be all over tv bitching about it, no, but I would applaud thier decision to fire the person who said it.

i leave my thread for 2 days
and it gets up to 10 pages...

lol good job IA, i'm proud

[Jaimecbr900]

Thanks for backing me up Julio.

BTW, Although Shirley girl has been doing a much better job at cleaning up ATL than any of her predecessors (although the last one was a crook who's now in jail, so the bar wasn't exactly high... ) she too jumped on the bandwagon. Obama threw his .02 the other day too, a little late to the party are we Mr. Obama??? I fully expect the Hilda Beast Clinton to be somewhere in there in the fray soon enough.

Either way, Sharpton and Jesse started it but there sure are plenty of "leaders" jumping onto the bandwagon too. They too are just as much idiots as the ones who started it.

I also heard in Al's "news conference" (that he probably scheduled himself) that "his group" was going to meet with "Black entertainers" to discuss them not using derrogatory terms too. Yeah, right. Let's see if that turns into a feeding frenzy like this one. Don't hold your breath.

Besides, that is starting to sound dangerously close to censorship anyway.

I say, unless it's criminal, let the MARKET decide what is worth listening/watching. Afterall, we do have buttons that say "power on/off", right?

the market did decide via sponsors, and didnt want anything to do with him or his show. u all act like his career is over, if imus was to get a show deal with another station, his rating would skyrocket because people want to hear what he has to say. I gurantee he will have a book or another show int he future.

[1SICKLEX]

I didn't even know IMUS was still alive until this....

[AirMax95]

This is 100% wrong. It sounds like you are talking for everyone..

Some people : Like Sharpton and Jackson jumped with it... and there groupies followed.

A FEW PEOPLE DID NOT LIKE IT. There are EVEN BLACK PEOPLE saying it was dumb and people over reacted to this..
The media only shows what they want..

Don't chop the post.....

But I will edit my line, ENOUGH of society did not like it for the sponsors to drop him.....its all Business

funny thing is their stock is going to drop from losing him lol
so doing it for the reasons of they would lose money seems kind of ironic

and yea i saw some black people on the news saying it was overreacted to. now they have all over the news is their a double standard and are showing rappers like snoop dog and ludacris all over the news.

so much has come from this one incident, a statement that wasn't even racist to begin with... but we have already been there and debated that

[Sack Attack]

if their so proud to be african american then send half of their black asses back to fuckin africa. Then we will have only americans....Why is it that EVERY fuckin problem the world has IS black related....
crime=black
shootings=black
rape=black, sometimes white, so kill them crackers too
drugs=black
aids=black

somehow or another fuckin global warming is niggers fault. Maybe theres soo many niggers in the world that the sun heats them up and they are producing heat and making the earth warm, that has to be what it is

I would bet that you're one of the reasons scientists think we humans evolved from primates. Your inability to form complete sentences and the fact that you can't use that mass between your ears for anything but coming to irrational conclusions is proving their theory to be true.
