stuart scott should not be called upon to give opinions regarding rap music. his blackness is trumped by his eye.

I still have mixed feelings over the whole Imus ordeal. Part of me believes he's getting what he deserves and the other part of me thinks its really that big of a deal. If you haven't seen it already, you should check out this story over at Highbrid Nation. The guy who wrote it worked at WFAN with Imus and gives some interesting insight into whether the man is really a racist or not. You all should check it out if you get a chance.

Thanks for the link Evorgleb....I'm in the mixed feelings boat as well. I think dreading on the subject is making things worse and not better.

As stupid as Imus' comments were -- and they were stupid, racist, and ignorant -- the knee-jerk reaction to this ordeal has been WAAAAAAY over the top. Someone said something ignorant and dumb on the radio! Oooooooooh!

Big fucking deal, I say.

I am an Imus fan and will be posting a lengthy post either today or tomorrow on this whole ordeal.

As an Imus fan I would like to thank you for posting the phone number of the donation line and bringing up the I want to call "selfishness" of MSNBC, wrong word I guess but still.

Thank you though

Why would anyone want to sit in front of a television and watch a radio show? This works for Howard Stern because of the eye candy that appears on his show, but unless I am mistaken I don't think this occurred regularly on the MSNBC Imus program. If fans of his miss the tv program, they can go to a nearby nursing home and put a jean jacket, wig, and cowboy hat on a resident and turn on the radio. And maybe take some acid.

I guess I can call Stubert a nasty name and because I say it's a term of affection, it's ok.

I use the term "stupid-ass motherfucker" all the time, as a term of affection.

We whites use it all the time.

I can't name the comedian, but someone's standup act includes an exchange between a dude and a girl in the club who's getting down and dirty to lyrics talking about hos and bitches and skanks and whatever. The guy asks her how she can dance to such insulting music, and the girl says "Oh, he's not talking about me. He's talking about OTHER girls."

This is beyond ridiculous. What is it that Imus does? He is a shock jock. He makes fun of people, mostly innocent people. That's what he does.

Unfortunately, in this instance, he picked on the wrong people. These college kids don't deserve this.

At the time, Imus may have thought that his listeners may have found it funny, but it was a bad joke.

The Rutgers team is taking this way overboard. They're acting like they'll be scarred for life. They held a press conference and went on Oprah's show for God's sake. Give it a rest! Some idiot said something mean about you. Move on.

Imus is stupid, but I'm starting to feel more sorry for him than the players he wrongfully ridiculed. He's taking more flak than what he dished out at these girls. Imus made a wrong joke and he gets fired over it. It's ridiculous, just another instance of leftist crap telling you how you should feel about stuff and if not, pay the consequences. I'm tired of it.
