Just saw the news... Whoopi Goldberg is supposed to be giving a public speech addressing Imus.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fag

One of the meanings of "fag" actually made sense in the way he used it. It's like when that guy said "niggardly" and everyone flipped a shit until they realized it was a real word.

But...but...they're black...it's OK for them to do it. The only group it's not OK to say anything bad about anybody is a straight white man.

YES! It's about time some really qualified people, like the reverends, talk about this disgraceful incident in black history. People like Imus should be fired for incidents like this ([url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17999196/:f1e10]like here[/url:f1e10]) and the Duke boys should be in jail for ruining that fine black stripper's reputation. EDIT: mwah:

EDIT by Blitz: my racially sarcastic HTML tag is gone! loney:

Oh man, I'm a FaceBook member (non-addict, thank you), I joined a group of people wanting Imus fired and started to defend the situation against these die-hard "he should be fired and not forgiven" people. They take this crap seriously:

Some Chick "You appareantly failed to read the part about the comment being made about them being jiggaboos and wannabe's this "name calling" stems from spike lee's movie Do the right thing and refers specifically to BLACK people. All you're doing is making excuses."

----

ME: "Hey Aisha, did you even listen to Imus on a regular basis prior to the incident?

Were you even listening to him live on the air when he said those comments?"

Same Chick "Hey Alex,
Do you defend all racists? or just the ones who have radio shows?
Who are you going to defend next, Richards? "

Racist?

What did he say/do?

think shes refering to kramer. also you can let her know that it was sid rosenberg that said jiggaboos vs wannabees which was in reference to the spike lee movie school daze. not Imus

[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":1b58c][quote:1b58c]Ho isnt the part that the black community finds offensive, its more the "NAPPY-HEADED" side, and the HO following it just made it worse. [/quote:1b58c]

But why? I still don't get it. Are blacks saying only black women are nappy-headed?

Of course it was supposed to be a stupid comment. Imus does it all the time. Men don't say "nappy-headed" and be serious about it.[/quote:1b58c]

lol - of course only blacks have nappy hair...White people's hair is too straight.

...and did you read where I said that I thought he was making a joke too? Of course I don't think he was serious.

First of all, Sharpton represents the BLACK community. Not the feminist community....I don't see any "nappy head" or N-word comments in there, so I don't see Sharpton intervening.
Also, he's not necessarily being mysogynistic, seeing as he is talking about a particular woman in his life who has apparently done him wrong. Not all women in general.....

and FUTHERMORE, people DID shit a brick when that song came out, it was a lot bigger deal at the time than this Imus thing, so I don't know what you're talking about dude...


I don't think the black community is getting fired up over the mysogynistic comments - Like I said earlier. Its the combination of the word hoe with nappy-headed, that means its directed at BLACK women.

...and I know it doesnt change anything, but if you listen to the songs, generally, for the most part - not necessarily always, but for the most part those rappers are talking about a particular type of money-grubbing, slutty woman and not all women....and even then you can't compare it to this, because that isnt a racial thing - That's a feminist issue, and that shit goes on so much day to day that people dont care about it usually. Throw in a racial comment alongside it (nappy-headed) and it becomes an issue for people to sink their teeth into....

...and also, no rapper refers to women as 'niggas' - they're refering to guys when that appears in rap songs. lol.

To quote the people wanting Imus fire... "How do you know [they] mean it in that context?"

That's Brad Richards. Richards....Michael...get it?

Bah, fuck it.

/joke SAILS over head

Because they're refering to other men.

If you're comparing that to imus, then I would have had to say something along the lines of "when they use the N-word in rap songs theyre refeing to men in a JOKING manner," for what you just posted to make sense - Seeing as people attacking Imus were questioning whether the context of his statement was infact a joke or was it a serious racial attack. They weren't questioning the gender of the people he was referring to.



How old are you?

apparently he has a history of "poorly chosen words" which, if true, carries alot of weight, i mean, the guy could be a flat out racist and just doesnt hide it very well, you never know. or hes just an old guy who isnt too keen on what words are socially ok to use.

this is actually one case where alot of this pop-rap may be showing its consequences. you cant expect a 90 year old to understand that what these rappers are saying is not ok for you to use even in a joke. i can image it being a pretty confusing situation for old people.

Imus must be a big deal if it's got New Zealander's paties in a bunch.

Funny thing is the foreigner knows the most about it.

America... fuck yeah.

I didn't know so many people gave that much of a shit.
