Imus in the morning
The above link talks about Imus losing MSNBC over his commments the other week. A white guy calling those girls "nappy headed" was bad enough. I don't know what he meant with calling them nappy headed. Where did he even hear that? Given the fact they were playing BASKETBALL, I am sure they were not going to look like they just stepped out of a beauty salon. So that was just plain asinine on his part. But the "hoes" part was ridiculous. He called in to question the character of people he does not even know. I know some newcasters like to ask what is the difference between a rapper using the word "hoes" and everybody else. First of all, why would any one with any modicum of intelligence want to use rappers, gangster, thugs, or pimps as their model standard. If Imus had been a 14 year old kid from the Mid-west saying something like that, I would be more inclined to think he got it from listening to that rap crap. Yea I said it. A lot of that rap is crap because all it does is demoralize women and idolize people who sell drugs, ruin lives, and kill people over trivial matters.
But I digress.
Back to Imus. What an idiot. It is those small comments that people make that give insight into how racist they really are. I hope he loses his job over that thoughtless comment.

Imus is an embarrassment to his journalism colleagues. That is if he is in fact a journalist. I hate to think he was a person people looked to for honest, unbiased and tasteful reporting. Another damn fool who forgot who pays the bills. Assuming he forgot, the sponsors of his show were there to remind him. They had the good sense to take into account who pays THEIR bills.
