CBS cancels the Don Imus Show!
Not sure if any of you have been following this story, but it looks like CBS is going to cancel the Imus show. I could really give a Fvck cause I think the dude is tool box even before his bone headed comments.
So the questions are....how do you guys feel about him taking this much heat for what he said? and why don't people like Al Sharpton go after black people or any other ethnicity/race for stupid comments they make? Double standard? I don't know either way, just posting the questions.

This whole things is pretty dumb. Yeah i guess he deserves to have some form of punishment, but he didn't use the n-word or anything. There are white girls on the team to. People are way to sensitive these days and Al Sharpton is stupid. I agree with you, why doesnt he go after black people when they make the same kind of remark. You can't be a hypocrite like that. If you dont like him, dont listen to him. If you think he is stupid then don't take anything he says seriously.

Imus isn’t the real bad guy
Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture.
By JASON WHITLOCK
Columnist
Thank you, Don Imus. You’ve given us (black people) an excuse to avoid our real problem.
You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson another opportunity to pretend that the old fight, which is now the safe and lucrative fight, is still the most important fight in our push for true economic and social equality.
You’ve given Vivian Stringer and Rutgers the chance to hold a nationally televised recruiting celebration expertly disguised as a news conference to respond to your poor attempt at humor.
Thank you, Don Imus. You extended Black History Month to April, and we can once again wallow in victimhood, protest like it’s 1965 and delude ourselves into believing that fixing your hatred is more necessary than eradicating our self-hatred.
The bigots win again.
While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos.
I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas.
It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent.
Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves.
It’s embarrassing. Dave Chappelle was offered $50 million to make racially insensitive jokes about black and white people on TV. He was hailed as a genius. Black comedians routinely crack jokes about white and black people, and we all laugh out loud.
I’m no Don Imus apologist. He and his tiny companion Mike Lupica blasted me after I fell out with ESPN. Imus is a hack.
But, in my view, he didn’t do anything outside the norm for shock jocks and comedians. He also offered an apology. That should’ve been the end of this whole affair. Instead, it’s only the beginning. It’s an opportunity for Stringer, Jackson and Sharpton to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda$.
I watched the Rutgers news conference and was ashamed.
Martin Luther King Jr. spoke for eight minutes in 1963 at the March on Washington. At the time, black people could be lynched and denied fundamental rights with little thought. With the comments of a talk-show host most of her players had never heard of before last week serving as her excuse, Vivian Stringer rambled on for 30 minutes about the amazing season her team had.
Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that the comments of a man with virtually no connection to the sports world ruined Rutgers’ wonderful season. Had a broadcaster with credibility and a platform in the sports world uttered the words Imus did, I could understand a level of outrage.
But an hourlong press conference over a man who has already apologized, already been suspended and is already insignificant is just plain intellectually dishonest. This is opportunism. This is a distraction.
In the grand scheme, Don Imus is no threat to us in general and no threat to black women in particular. If his words are so powerful and so destructive and must be rebuked so forcefully, then what should we do about the idiot rappers on BET, MTV and every black-owned radio station in the country who use words much more powerful and much more destructive?
I don’t listen or watch Imus’ show regularly. Has he at any point glorified selling crack cocaine to black women? Has he celebrated black men shooting each other randomly? Has he suggested in any way that it’s cool to be a baby-daddy rather than a husband and a parent? Does he tell his listeners that they’re suckers for pursuing education and that they’re selling out their race if they do?
When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset. Until then, he is what he is — a washed-up shock jock who is very easy to ignore when you’re not looking to be made a victim.
No. We all know where the real battleground is. We know that the gangsta rappers and their followers in the athletic world have far bigger platforms to negatively define us than some old white man with a bad radio show. There’s no money and lots of danger in that battle, so Jesse and Al are going to sit it out.

Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are basically crminimals...I think it was Jackson who was the cause of two riots.. one where a jewish kid from australia visiting the states was stabbed to death..another where 7 people were murdered during a riot.. And yes, they provoked it. Whoever was running NY at the time didn't do anything about it..
They are racists.. they won't help a white man out..but they will jump at the littlest thing said about a black person.
The ACLU sides with them..big suprise.. the ACLU will side with anyone who is getting their way..because it makes them look good ... they are a bunch of crooked f*cks if you ask me..
Now..in rap music..its alright for a black man to show a white woman in damn near nothing, call her a bitch, a ho, whatever he wants..and nothing is said..
Talk radio show .. you make a few comments..and colores all over the country are screaming racism.
I will be completely honest here..and say that yes, I am somewhat of a racist. If I see a black kid in pants down past his ***, a baggy white shirt..I automatically think the worst. If I see a mexican dressed in all blue I think the worst..and if I see a white kid wearing SRH with baggy dickies..I think the worst.
People like that will sit and make fun of the white guy dressed in a suit..why? Because he makes a decent living? Because he probably is respectable? If I see a colored person walking around in a nice suit or in a office or holding a respectable job..he automatically gets my respect.. If I see them looking grungy *** hell.. I think they are trash.
I beleive there are MAJOR double standards ...I don't see it as ok for a black to be able to openly talk trash about a white person.. but they do .. and nothing happens. A white person says one bad comment about a black..and everyone is up in arms.
I think that most whites with power are too scared to adress the issue so they act like blacks can do no wrong by what they say because they were opressed ect..
They aren't slaves anymore, they are allowed to go and do what whites do, they are able to hold high positions in companies now..so they have nothing to bitch about. They scream and cry about having to live in bad neighborhoods ect.. I have a question for them..why the hell didn't you graduate highschool..why the hell didn't you go to college..why the hell didn't you build yourself a career like others did.. nothing held you back from doing it, except for yourselves.
Here in California..whites are actually becoming a minority in most cities, yet we don't scream and cry about it, we complain about the little hoodlums breaking into our homes, the drugs on the streets, and the illegals, sure. But then again..the illegals bring the little hoodlums breaking into stuff, and the drugs, along with some of the gangs. (Surenjos, Nortenjos, the two largest mexican gangs in CA also two of the most violent)
One girl from the Rutgers said she was "scard for life" ..seems a little over dramatic.. the worst part about it is.. the team that won isn't even getting this much publicity..

Amen to that.
If you don't want to be labeled as such, don't look, act, speak, etc. as such. I mean, people just can't face reality anyway and would rather throw the racist and hurt feelings card. He made an observation and spoke his opinion. Get the f*** over it.

If I were Imus I'm not sure I would have apologized to be honest with you. I would have said, look it was a joke, maybe not a very funny joke, but it was a joke and get over it. I think if he would have made his comment about some nappy headed ho's that didn't go to Rutgers it wouldn't have been an issue.
I also heard someone on the radio today say the Rutgers Women's basketball team is basically using this as a tool to put them in the national media for recruiting purposes! who knows.

Do you really think Al Sharpton listens Imus? Let alone any other black activist? None of this would have happend if someone doesnt get there panties in a bunch and have to go running to someone higher. And i also am not afraid to say i am somewhat of a racist.

Al Sharpton needs to die first of all and I agree Imus should not of apologized. I think he should of called Al Sharpton and jesse jackson nappy headed hoes because they are. They are drwing so much attention to themselves and their race and they wonder why they get called these names yet it is okay for rappers to call girls bitches and whatever else they call them. These people need to seriously accept the way our culture is or GTFO
