So I can’t help but comment on Don Imus’s recent media trouble, when during his show, he referenced a girls basketball team as “nappy headed hoes”. Listen, I’m not a fan of Don Imus. I really don’t care for the guy’s show, or his sense of humor. I find his voice hard to listen to. That being said, his show is about controversy, and about comedy. If he’s going to get in trouble for saying what he said – in jest – then I will have to firmly disagree. I don’t believe he should be suspended, much less fired.<\/p>\n
I don’t even think what he said was racist. The underlying meaning was not racist. At least I don’t think so. And most importantly, no one should have to apologize to Al Sharpton. Don Imus actually went as far as calling Sharpton “sir”<\/i>. Give me a break. <\/p>\n
People in this country are becoming more and more offended by the things other people say. I don’t get in an uproar and call for Sharpton’s job every time he says something ridiculous. For example, Sharpton once said:<\/p>\n
1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin’s funeral he rails against the “diamond merchants” — code for Jews — with “the blood of innocent babies” on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, “No justice, no peace.” A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, is surrounded by a mob shouting “Kill the Jews!” and stabbed to death. On top of all that, Sharpton has inspired racial riots against ‘crackers’ and jews. <\/p>\n I’m not offended by any of what Sharpton has to say, but no one – no one – should have to apologize to him like he is some prosecuting attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I can’t help but comment on Don Imus’s recent media trouble, when during his show, he referenced a girls basketball team as “nappy headed hoes”.
