"Before you are valedictorians of their class, future doctors, musical prodigies, and yes, even Girl Scouts," she said. "They are young ladies of class, distinction, they are articulate, they are brilliant, they are gifted. They are God's representatives in every sense of the word."

okay great you can still call them a name fuck we do it all the time. But omg because he said Nappy headed ho's you got captain civil rights al sharpton and jesse jackson shitting a brick.

I really fail to see how his comment was racist. Stupid? Sure. Sexist? Perhaps. Not racist. That is, unless, of course, the black race is admitting their women are categorically both nappy-headed and hos, and both terms apply only to blacks.

This is just a small step in the process I like to call "the pussification of America." Don't give these fucks the attention they want. Nobody cares about Imus, he's 100 years old. He's done this for years and years.

Rutgers aint got shit on the huskeys anyways.

I watched a debate on Hannity & Colmes on Fox about this (I usually watch for a laugh - but this was actually mediated quite fairly) and two of the black guests made some interesting points:

One guy who was a comedian said that he perceived it as Imus trying to crack a joke that went wrong for him, he thought that was the only way anyone like Imus would utter the phrase which even a redneck racist wouldnt understand or say - but then he went on to say that you should be allowed to say anything in the name of comedy, as black comedians like him get to say pretty much whatever they want.

Another guy said he remembered that during Katrina, imus was one of the first to publicly address the bush administrations weak response to the disaster because the people in New Orleans mainly had black skin, he said that it was very wrong and someone should be held accountable - These arent the words of a redneck racist. The guy went onto say before destroying this guys career, his whole persona on-air should be evaluated, not just that one mistake.

That made alot of sense to me. If he got fired for this, then its gonna defame his name for good, he's going to be remembered as the guy that got fired for being a racist. Even though the guy doesnt seem like much of a racist.

The guys at Fox also thought it was silly of Sharpton to attack this guy while he was trying to apologise on his show because in the past Sharpton himself has said some very questionable things about Jews and called New York
Hymie town, he commented that Sharpton still has his career after all that and that there is a major double-standard there.

I watched some of the apology too, and I felt as though Sharpton was being a fucking douche. When he said "you people" and sharpton shat a brick, that pissed me the fuck off. I know for a fact the guy was just addressing the people that he had offended and not necessarily black people in general. Even if he were just talking about black people, how is that offensive? Its wrong for black community leaders who are role-models to promote this kind of mega-sensitivity.

Overall, I think he made a mistake, and a public apology should be enough. If the guy were to be fired, it wouldn't help anyone. Blown way out of proportion.

^ solid statement man

ps. i think it was Jesse Jackson who called New York Hymie town. and it was when he was running for president

yep tripper, just got done watching it on foxnews.com.

I do feel like the whole thing is out of proportion.

Why aren't they doing anything about Rosie O'Donnel yet if they really want to get technical. She doesn't say racist shit, but she says "hurtful things" like that one doctor from Temple was saying. It's a stupid double standard in my opinion.

I saw that same thing Tripper. It was Patrice O'Neal right? I agree with what you said about the guests' responses. And there does seem to be a double standard, I think some people tend to be overly emotional about this. Sharpton and Jackson may think they are pursuing equality, but all they are doing is further dividing blacks and whites.

Ban Napster cuz it was named after the creator having nappy hair.

Not a very flattering picture.

Imus is the fucking man!! any one who thinks otherwise needs to be examined
