superdave said:I think the crux of the matter is that Imus said those things about decent college girls trying to get ahead, hence the backlash against him. If he said nappy headed hos in just a general sense I dont think he would have had any problems, or even if he said it about a lowlife black female of sorts. I dont know what to do about the current situation concerning hypocritical double standards regarding black people in america. But I can certainly sense something going on in this country regarding race and its disturbing. I think some sort of critical mass will be reached in the near future and it isnt going to be a good thing. I think blacks need to reevaluate their credibility as a whole when it comes to how they perpetuate stereotypes within their own race, clean up their own backyard, then come to the table knowing there is more credibility when they are offended by stupid comments by xyz person. How races view other races is partly influenced by the image each race puts forth as a whole. It may not be right but its reality and people, and races, have to live in reality. Yes, I know its wishful thinking.
I agree those young ladies are trying to get ahead in life by seeking a higher education and for someone to put them down in that manner is disturbing....
