Lesson of the story - vicious comments about public figures is fine. . .so long as its not racial.
Sorry IMUS but you got the raw deal when there are real twats (like Pyro) milling about. Although IMUS is far from innocent on past behavior, his behavior on THIS issue shouldn't have brought about his firing. If I were IMUS I'd STILL meet with the Rutger girls if he truly IS sorry. Do that, move on and raise a middle finger to CBS

Poland was ruled by foreign powers for most of the 18th and 19th century.
I agree we shouldn't be held accountable for what our ancestors' might have done but we can learn from the horrors and extensiveness of the African slave trade that slavery must never happen again and we must fight one of the roots of it, racism.
