I cant, hell pretty much on a daily basis I'll say something racist and realize it only after I said it. The rappers can call women hoes, degrade them, use the N word like there is no tomorrow but thats all ok. Sorry FTL, I never owned a slave and no black man/woman alive today has ever been a slave so I dont understand why white people have to shut the hell up while others think they can do or say anything they want. It was a slip of the lip on Imus's part, nothing more, nothing less.  |
Hey, white people can say what they want. But the guy is not on a soap box, he is part of a money making enterprise. He shot himself in the ass. He is welcome to go down to Central Park and stand on an orange crate and rant at ho's all he wants.
Did you see the show or the clips? It was not just Imus, the remarks started with his old white guy side kicks, and then he put the icing on the cake. I personally found it offensive, not funny, and I'm a pretty thick-skinned guy. There is just something about a bunch of old white guys having a good laugh, not quite saying the words that I heard growing up, spoken like it was one word, "nigga-whores" - but going close enough to make it clear just what they meant, that was just plain sick. I bet that is what black people heard too. It was as if they were trying to find a way to express the same kind of disgusting degradation that was meant in saying words like that back in the old days. Again, they have every right to say what they want, but MSNBC had every right to react to the visceral disgust this caused in millions of people as well, people who buy products from their advertisers. Imus belongs on AM, where the sponsors are people who are trying to appeal to the racist fucks who listen to that cesspool anyway.
