    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

    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'

    He did elaborate:

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

    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
