    I try to never judge people by race but by their actions however I do get sick of the double standards.
    that or rappers calling women ho's and bitches thats fine I guess.

        I have no arguement with you there..
        Actually... I had no idea who the guy was other than seeing him on some news show awhile back, so I've never listened to him, but the point is... The Rutger girls didn't listen to him either... They were just playing basketball and he felt the need to throw a quite disrespectful comment directly at them because he thought he could...

        Just as yourself, I'm not one to be offended by such talk, by his type, comedians, or anyone else that says stupid stuff.. It's too easy to consider the source, ignore it, and go on about my business..

        But.. this is a case where The folks at Ebony Magazine started an uproar, the hypocrite team of Jackson and Sharpton followed suit and all went from there..

        I don't think he needed to be fired. He could have turned this into something very positive with his apparent influence and with the good things that he's done..

        Maybe things will turn around because of this and perhaps others, in other genres, may now be held more accountable for their actions...

                    Right on!

                    Imus wasn't going to get the boot until AFTER the sponsors started pulling out.

                    WHY did the sponsors start pulling out?

                    One word: Boycott

                    It had nothing to do with what Imus said, it had something to do with money and stockholders.

                    End of fucking story.
