With black slang terms saturating our culture, and a very
strong knee jerk chain reaction in place, I don't think
much good is going to come of this mess. It just ensures
that no politician can have any serious dialog
The minute the Imus racism thing came out Howard Stern said Imus was toast.

Possibly, some on the team could be overly sensitive. Not
being an Imus fan myself, I do know he makes comments like
these all the time, it's his job, he was hired as a shock

Imus is rich. Those women are not. They are world-class scholarship athletes
with a chance. And when it comes to men in their lives my bet is that they're
treated with respect. Imus is in the socio-economic elite and is out of touch.

It's a satirical show; is our culture that retarded?
Really he was mocking the rappers lyrics...
No, he wasn't.
In times when we're killing hundreds of thousands of Arabs in Iraq and
when we allow Dafur to continue, and when a ninny-brained pretend
cowboy can be allowed to rampage across our lives, the mistake of Imus
pales.
