DISCLAMIER: This isn't meant as a racist post, I am merely making fun of an ignorant pop culture icon and story.

You do realize that Don Imus is a comedian, a la Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle or Carlos Mencia? The only difference is that he's white, and therefore must be racist if he says anything that is not perfectly PC, while Rock, Chappelle, and Mencia are obviously not racist at all for making the same kind of comments.

Eva that has to be the truest statement ever!!!! Although so is Howard Stern. I think Imus kinda of "bent over" when the poo hit the fan, if he just stuck to his guns it would not have been so bad. We all know the Rev. has nothing better to do.

I am not so sure what was so unacceptable. The country is far to uptight and constantly trying to create something where it is not. I don't think Imus is funny or amusing but he was far from wrong. I do think Chappelle, Rock, and Carlos Mancia (spelling) are funny and 90% of there content is racial...

The only thing Imus should have apologized for was wearing that ridiculous hat.

Half of my office and close, close friend is black and they all think it was blown out of proportion and ridiculous.

[Yzerfan1999 81]

Eh, I don't care how uptight you think the U.S. is, an old white guy wearing a cowboy hat should never call a group of black girls "nappy-headed hoes" no matter what the context.

Imus is an idiot, thats the only excuse he has.

But lets not run this thread off topic any further - I get what you are saying, lets leave it at that.

well, the pic they replaced the black dude pic with is an ancient picture. look at how old that jersey is that he's wearing. and i could be mistaken, but do i see an "A" on the front of that jersey??

Actually the difference lies in two things:

1: Rock, Chappelle, Mencia are known comedians who never pretend to be legit media members, Imus is portrayed as a legit news media member, his comment was supposed to be funny, but seeing as he tries to be taken serious so often it was hard to tell he was being funny. Rock, Chappelle and Mencia are so off the wall they are too sarcastic to be serious.

2. Rock, Chappelle, and Mecia's people/ancestors didn't enslave the group of people they are making fun of.

I hate double standards however this is one that will stay with us for a while, as white folks we have for generations used words like the N word, or remarks regarding the looks or styles of minorities for years as a way of degrading people of color. However until white people around the nation stop using those words as degradation how are people supposed to know what white person is being funny and which is being degrading.

If Imus had used the word ***, or turd knocker or something degrading towards homosexuals it would have been taking the same way. As white people we are not exactly known to be the most accepting society.

The only difference between Slavery and the Holocaust is the ending, instead of burning and killing all of the Black people, slave owners were only able to lynch a few before they got to the north and safe ground.

To portray what Imus did as just humor like Rock or Chappelle is to understate what he did. HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER!!

To paraphrase Jason Lee from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back:

Here is the pulse (puts forefinger on his wrist checking pulse) and here is your head, Don, (points to his ass) far way from the pulse of racism!!

Edit: that pic is funny as hell, that had to be done on purpose I can not imagine how they mixed that dude up for Draper.

My question is where in the hell are the editors for these online articles. It seems like more and more typos/mistakes on these web articles. Do they just let these guys post their articles with out an editor.
