I read an interesting article where they interviewed some blacks that were highly offended by his comment and wanted him to suffer. The interviewer asked the blacks if they knew who Al Sharpton was and they all said yes and how great he was. When asked why Al Sharpton wasn't punished for continually bashing on the jews they replied "it's completely different"... From experience in my field the most racist people that exsist are the ones always seeking restitution from their ancestors sufferings

Imus will be doin Geritol commericals next week to supplement his lost income.
I wonder if he'd like it if someone called his wife a "ho". Would he like his snot nosed, fat kid to hear that come outta someones mouth?
I use to think he was an ok guy with all his good work he did on his ranch for sick kids. I am thinking different now.

if he was working for me he'd be homeless by now........that's completely the most awful thing I've ever heard come from someone in the media. It's worse than coulter calling Edwards a fag.........waaayyyy worse!! "Nappy"...."Headed"....."hoes"..........you gotta be kidding me. He's calling these amatuer athletes, and good one's at that........hoes!. But he amazingly prefaces that slander with an adjective describing their hair which is indiginous of their race. You know, there's been this "anti PC" backlash the last couple years........almost "rage" at the notion that not everything is on the table to be talked about and poked fun at. Well, here's the culmination of that bullshit. Racism, sexism, and misogyny all in one sentence. I'm all for saying something that "absolutely needs to be said" at a certain time and place.......even if it's not "PC". But people obviously can't control themselves and lose touch with what's appropriate.......so now we'll probably suffer through a PC backlash where anyone that makes a dick or fart joke within earshot of someone who finds those jokes offensive........will be fired or sued................so thanks Imus......thanks for being a raging fucking douchebag cocksucker. You shoulnd't even be allowed in the same room with those women........regardless of whether you're "truly" sorry or not.

without question.........this might even be more sexist and misogynyst than anything else. I think if they were white girls he would have come up with some other slam for them........I think he dislikes the notion of "female athletics".......I mean, what exactly are they doing out of the kitchen?

Georgia High School to Try Integrated Prom
Tuesday , April 10, 2007
ASHBURN, Ga. —
Breaking from tradition, high school students in this small town are getting together for this year's prom.
Prom night at Turner County High has long been an evening of de facto segregation: white students organized their own unofficial prom, while black students did the same.
This year's group of seniors didn't want that legacy. When the four senior class officers -- two whites and two blacks -- met with Principal Chad Stone at the start of the school year, they had more on their minds than changes to the school's dress code.
They wanted a school-sponsored prom. They wanted everyone invited.
On April 21, they'll have their wish. The town's auditorium will be transformed into a tropical scene, and for the first time, every junior and senior, regardless of race, will be invited to an official prom.
The prom's theme: Breakaway.
"Everybody says that's just how it's always been. It's just the way of this very small town," said James Hall, a 17-year-old black student who is the senior class president.
"But it's time for a change."
There are excited announcements of the upcoming dance plastered all over the school, where about 55 percent of students are black and most of the rest are white.
A makeshift countdown to the prom is displayed as a cardboard cutout on a main hallway. Student council members canvass the hallways, asking students to buy a $25 ticket and be a part of history. In the cafeteria, images of palm trees and waterfalls brighten up the sterile walls. "The First Ever!" a poster exclaims. "Got your haircut?"
Students say the self-segregation that splits social circles in school mirrors the attitude of this town of 4,000 people. So getting every student to break from the past could be a difficult task.
With prom night about two weeks away, only half of the 160 upper-class students have bought tickets. And there's talk around the school that some white students might throw a competing party at a nearby lake.
"Everyone is saying they're not going to the school prom," said Steven Tuller, a 17-year-old white junior who doesn't plan to attend either event because he wants to wait until he's a senior. "They're saying it's tradition."
Yet Turner County High already has defied tradition this year. The school abandoned its practice of naming separate white and black homecoming queens. Instead, a mixed-race student was named the county's first solo homecoming queen.
Some alumni welcome change at Turner County High.
"People still think of how life was 20, 30 years ago," said Keith Massey, a 1990 graduate who now runs the popular Keith-A-Que restaurant in town, about 75 miles south of Macon. "And life's got to move on."
There have been attempts to integrate the prom in the past, but never as a school-sponsored dance. Massey recalls an effort to integrate a prom party when he was in school, but few whites showed up. A few years ago, organizers of a private party invited all students to attend.
But Stone said attempts to organize a school-sponsored prom have failed because of lack of student support.
Stone, serving his first year as the school's principal, has been enthusiastic about an integrated prom. He's funneling $5,000 of his meager discretionary fund to hire a DJ and buy decorations, and he's persuaded a photographer to set up shop at the civic center to snap photos of the couples before the dance.
"This senior class is a close-knit group from top to bottom, and they want to do what's right," said Stone, who is white. "They wanted a full school prom. And I told them if they would do it, I'd do them right."

get rid of ALL shock jocks if there is so many problems with them making racists comments. Do I agree with him for saying it.. no but the guy donates more money to good causes than most American's. He has his own charity for children with disabilities, I'm willing to bet most people in the US do not.

I wouldn't say IMUS has real stature.. just out of curiousity are you black redsamurai?
agreed. so basically it has nothing to do with racethe_clockwork said:
i can gaurantee you that iv had to deal with more racism as being white skinned from black people than iv ever caused any black guy to have to deal with...
if a black dude gets pissed at you, 75% of the time (no not all, so dont pull the prejudice card) they call you whiteboy and similar shit.
if i ever stopped to say "black boy", people would be all over my ass for it.
i get singled out by black people and harrassed and my race made a target.
people need to start learning to deal with it, different races are different, if you wanna make fun of it and look like an ignorant dumbass, it only affects the person saying the shit....if anyone experienced slavery and segregation and they have a hard time with it and are personally offended, then they have a right to be, for anyone who hasnt, then they can shut the fuck up. someone dropping the N-bomb doesnt prevent a black dude from going to the same store as a white dude. it just makes the person saying it look dumb. thats about it
also any black person who makes fun of gayes and then pulls their racecard is a hypocrite.

They call his wife the Green and Clean ho on the show. Guess it is generic for them, or was. And, if he says it on his show, the kid says it too.
As for his looks and hair, wish I had his head of hair, and he is over 60 now.
Biggest problem with the outrage is that it is coming from people that have never listened to him or his show. He ranks on EVERYONE. Yes, that was a BAD remark, but it is how it goes.
As for Sharpton and Jackson, did either of them ever serve time or get fully removed from the public for their actions and comments? I don't think so. Luana Brawly for Sharpton was a FELLONY, but he was never charged for misleading the police in an investigation. And Jackson received a slap on the wrist for his Heimy Town comments. But they are Black and get away with it. If you are White, you can't say shit.
