Judging by your inherently-endowed-with-wisdom tone, you clearly fancy yourself an intellectual. However, your endless pursuit of this debate is not the heroic exercise in intellectual discourse that you imagine. Make no mistake, you are not a champion guarding the aisles of The Marketplace of Ideas. Rather, you are a whiny pain in the ass who insists on jamming his view of the world down everyone else's throats. This course of action places you into the category of "asswipe" rather than "deep thinker". You can engage in all the hyperbole you like and carry on with those who dare to disagree with you. The reality remains the same, however. There is an obvious double standard in what is acceptable to say in public when it comes to any statement fringing on any 'racial' borders. |

I didn't know he was canceled until this thread. I would have been OK if they just made his life a living hell for a week, maybe some FCC sensitivity classes or send him to services at a black church in Selma, Alabama. But it wasn't my call. But I was equally upset when Jesse Jackson called Manhattan "Hymie Town". The only thing I could think was, "Aw man, what the fuck did he just say that shit for?" I though he was equally an idiot, and I like Jesse. |
If Imus had said a racial slur, such as if he had said 'they are a bunch of porch monkey hoes' or 'they are a bunch of nignog hoes', I doubt many would be defending him. Personally I would because I believe in free speech, but there is a world of difference between calling someone a porch monkey/nignog/n1gger and "nappy haired".

I am not denying the double standard, but no one ever says anything until shit like this comes up, and then it's, "Well what about Chris Rock?" Has anybody ever written Chris Rock, or any other stand up and voiced offense, or do you just use it as justification. Chris Rock is a stand up comic, on Comedy Central. IMUS was on MSNBC. Big difference. You have to pay to see Chris Rock, IMUS...on public air waves. Besides, you are missing the most important factor. You have to be a brave mother fucker to piss of EVERY BLACK WOMEN in the entire country.The average Black Man don't want to piss off one. |
He doesn't deserve to be fired. It wasn't a racist remark - it was a mean thing to say, and the latter comment he made was in reference to a Spike Lee film. He just spoke off the top of his head trying to be funny. "Insensitive" humor is often funny. By the same token I think the likes of Jesse Jackson should have been taken off the air years ago (or better yet, never given a forum at all). Imus has always been a dick and says mean things to all types of people, for the sake of humor, not hate. That's his schtick. So be it.

I don't think he deserves to be fired either, but, there is no free speech on someone else"s dime.

I seem to remember Jesse Jackson, during the Regan era, going over to Iran, by himself, and coming back with American Hostages that were held in captive for 444 days. How soon we forget.:( Would you go to Iran by yourself? That's some Patriotic shit right there! * Salute* |

I didnt use the "n word" until I lived in a black neighborhood. The majority of the crime was Black VS Black without a white person in sight. Until you live it for yourself, gullable white people can be brainwashed to feel guilty and believe the whole "blame the white man" crap. However, now that im living in a fairly upper-class community, I see plenty of smart, well spoken, and successful black people doing just fine. Which makes it clear - theres a difference between "NlGGERS" and "Black People". Same with whites and rednecks, mexicans and wetbacks, etc. I am Mexican. The difference between me and a wetback is that I speak english and paid attention in school. Thats the exact same difference between a n1gger speaking ghetto ebonics bullshit and wondering why they cant get a job. Really, it seems like companies JUMP at the chance to hire a well-spoken black person for 'diversity'. Ghetto n1ggers have no excuse. People like Sharpton convince them its the white mans fault instead of telling them to take out the gold teeth, buy pants that fit, learn to speak properly, and they'll be fine. White idiots like you just back up that false point. |

It doesn't matter what anyone says. You are simply upset that someone got screwed for having the same racial views as yourself. That?s fine you have that right but arguing with you is pointless because your hate controls you. |

You'll have to go back to find the Jesse Jackson hostage deal. The hostages were actually taken during the Carter administration when the Ayatolla Khomeini was the leader of Iran.
They were actually release to Jesse Jackson after Carter lost the election to Regan. Many Americans felt that Jimmy Carter sending Jesse to negotiate with terrorists for the release of our citizens, was why he lost the election. |

Are you confused? Or is there some big conspiracy Wikipedia is in line with the government? |

His impact on the release of the hostages has not been discussed much. |

Jesse Jackson went to Iran and successfully negotiated the realase of an American Airforce pilot just before the hostages were released. His impact on the release of the hostages has not been discussed much. |
Quote:
I'm just saying that he is trying to mention that event but the facts are not correct. |
Quote:
Quote:
You want to know who secured the release of the hostages? Republican President Ronald Reagan. Bow down. |
Quote:
Negotiating a hostage release is great and all, but those are 2 pretty different events that both had very different impacts. |

Splum, I may disagree with you on things but I will never resort to calling names. I't shows weakness I can make my point without name calling. Come at me like a grown man ,I have always given you the same respect |

So I got the country wrong...as if anyone in America knew the differnce before 911. :1orglaugh |
Ok OK! I was wrong. He helped free hostages in other countries. My bad.
What do you want, I was 8. There was a lot of Hostage taking going around at the time. I got it mixed up. Jackson also became a global diplomat. Since the mid-'80s, he's helped negotiate freedom for captive Americans in Syria, Kosovo, and Cuba. And, he's met with world leaders from Nelson Mandela to Hugo Chavez. |

The man credited with securing the release was an Algerian diplomat named Abdulkarim Ghuraib. |
When youre on a national tv and radio syndicate you do not fucking go around calling a womens basketball team that has black players anything racial. You have to be a fucking moron for that. That guys old and isnt up with the times. It is like when your old fucking dad tries to say something cool and ends up looking like a fucking jackass.

Weakness is to be hurt by words, not by saying them. Especially when words are true it takes strong character to speak the truth. |

man its the way it goes these days. racisim is such a touchy subject you cant even defend he even though he wasnt being racist or you're thrown in the fucking lake with him.
i watch his show on msnbc every morning and was watching that morning when it happened. taken in context of how the show is and from watching the show it wasnt much of anything. it wasnt that funny but it definitely wasnt said in a racist way. |

He could have said "these are some manly girls" and the college would have been in his ass about that. The college felt insulted and people have lost point of that in all the "black and white" shit. He was stupid in my opinion. |
I can't stand Jesse Jackson or Al Sharton.
That said, I think that calling collegiate athletes 'ho's' is way out of line, and I hope they fine the shit out of him. |

That would be offensive to any womens team, regardless of race. If they were Jews, (and we all know some Jews have kinky hair), it would have been just as offensive. "Jigga Boo's" just put the icing on his cake. That guy should be gone too, if Imus is. That would be like if I grabbed a girls ass at the club, I might be able to make it out alive, but then my friend comes up right behind that, and pops her bra strap. Fuel to what would have been a small fire. |
