Good thing I didn't lock it...
Before I go into my tangant I would first like to say that, whitey is crazy.
About the Don Imus thing. I don't care, seriously I could care less at this point. What he said was stupid ("Nappy headed ho's" which has given EVERYONE in the media permission to quote) and it isn't the worst thing he's said. So why now? I have an idea, conspiracy! Yes Hillary Clinton I think has gotten Al Sharpton (Idiot) and Jesse Jackson (Idiot of the same caliber) to go on the attack and say things like "These women have been hurt"(not actual quote) and get those women to say "I have been scarred"(actual quote).
At the same time three kids from Duke have been dropped of all charges, innocent, from (guess it) a black woman (who has been yet to be attacked or named, because she's black and shes a [dare I say it?] whore) who made bogus accusations and brought on a case that made Al Sharpton call these kids "Rapists" who is attacking her? Who's attacking Al Sharpton? No one, because of white guilt. To tell you the truth racism doesn't even phase me even though my family seems to be full to the brim of racists and bigots. Why doesn't it phase me? Because of what I said earlier I do not care, not one iota. Because if you say or do something stupid I'm going to tell you, "your stupid" or "If you die, I won't cry". In fact I realized as I was thinking about this the other day, I hate humanity as a whole. I have no sympathy for humans that do stupid things, and am apathetic towards people who suffer.
That's beside the point. Don Imus said something stupid, something reprehensible, something that should have never been said. But he should not be fired, if he stays out of a job and doesn't come back, this will escalate into a totally overblown issue with people and news commentators being fired for speaking their views and spewing their hateful evil crappy jokes. Should they be fired? There is an obvious double standard here between who can say the n-word and who can't, should Chris Rock be able to spew it left and right and also spew his racist remarks about white people? Should Puff piffy party, Snoop Doggy Dog, 50 Cent, Akon, 2pac, Three 6 Mafia, or any other walking rap stereotype be able to say the word "ho" and "nigga"? Should Michael Savage be fired for saying Islamo facism? Should Bill O'Reilly be fired for calling Mexicans "Wetbacks"? No because it is all there in the First amendment and I think Imus is a perfect example of silencing first amendment rights.
I thought this was supposed to end with Lenny Bruce who was the last comedian to be arrested for saying obcenties on stage. Bruce was also fond of saying a taboo word over and over again until it didn't mean anything anymore, one of his quotes is saying the n-word over and over again. And after a debate with myself I shall provide that bit, below.
[Warning: Contains the n-word several times if you are offended by the n-word stop reading here and don't bitch at me because I'm only providing a quote]
"...if President Kennedy would just go on television, and say, "I would like to introduce you to all the ******* in my cabinet," and if he'd just say "****** ****** ****** ****** ******" to every ****** he saw, "boogie boogie boogie boogie boogie," "****** ****** ****** ****** ******" 'til ****** didn't mean anything anymore, then you could never make some six-year-old black kid cry because somebody called him a ****** at school."
- From Julian Barry's screenplay for "Lenny"
"It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness."
- Also from Lenny Bruce
That is all, I provided the warning so please don't delete this quote just because your offended, doesn't mean you have to read it, turn the channel, turn off the radio, or click away from the page, shield your eyes if you must but please don't in the process silence others.

Not going to go into detail.
This whole Don Imus thing is being blown way out of proportions. Yes, he said "Nappy-Headed Ho's" but why must this be the big problem. As I have heard numerously, there are rappers who talk about "bitches" and "ho's" and "gettin head" and such. These rappers also used the n-word constantly
I can say, proudly, I have listened to Imus in the morning on the radio on a daily basis. I like his show, I like what he says, and I like his political incorrectness. In words of the late comic Freddy Soto, "You're scared of adjectives? you can't describe each other anymore? what is that?! I'm proud of who I am, it's the differences that makes us special; don't take it away from each other! You're telling me if you have a friend with a wooden leg, you're never going to talk about it?!"
And that whole thing about being scarred for life: Bullshit-on-a-stick. I've been called a midget, hell I have been permanently been nicknamed Midget by my friends (I'm 5'4) and even though that isn't much, you could call me whatever and I could never be "Scarred for life". Rutgers maybe "Nappy headed hoes" but what about southerners being nicknamed Hicks, rednecks and sterotyped as being inbred?
Maybe we should make huge media coverage about anyone who says "Redneck" or "Hick"?
Now, I know for a fact that IMUS is a great radio show and is popular to alot of the US... and when you announce you will never appear on that show ever again ((Thank you Obama for screwing yourself)) you lose alot of the votes of many people.
IMUS hepled alot of people such as Keith Olbermann on his program, as well as a bunch of other US programs, and when IMUS got in trouble, they all turned against him. And then there are the charities that IMUS has, including IMUS ranch which gives kids with cancer the chance to live on a ranch, ride horses, work in stable life, etc.
Now, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are huge hypocritical bastards as they have both done things racially offensive. Al Sharpton, in a real quote, said that Barrack
Obama was "Not black enough".
